Retail Visibility Index

Introduction

In today’s competitive retail landscape, ensuring your brand stands out is more challenging than ever. When your products share shelf space with competitors in a multi-brand environment, visibility is key to driving sales and maintaining brand equity. But it’s not just about having the right amount of shelf space; how your brand is visually presented—through effective Visual Merchandising (VM) and strategic branding—plays a crucial role in capturing customer attention.

The Retail Visibility Index Study is designed to provide you with a comprehensive assessment of your brand’s presence and effectiveness in brick-and-mortar stores, evaluating factors such as shelf space allocation, VM practices, and branding elements. This study empowers you with actionable insights to enhance your in-store strategy and ensure your brand stands out in even the most crowded retail environments
