Where shoppers first stop differs by segment

Layout and promotions were tuned to the first shelf each segment visits.

From problem to result

Problem
No record of what each segment looks at first, so layout ran on experience
Applied and measured
A drugstore serves a wide range of shoppers, so whose habits should drive the layout is a standing argument. saai insight measures the first shelf visited by gender and age, and shows a different starting point for each segment. Which shelves to bring forward was the merchandiser's call.
