Back to Basics for CPG Promotions

Some merchandising advice:

1. Answer the shopper with what's in it for them. Savings, New, Larger Size, something that's unique or different in the eyes of the consumer.
2. Is it on strategy?  Make sure you communicate the strategic priorities to your team or agency.
3. Shoppers have enough to think about. Stay focused on the message and don't overdo it.
4. Type sizes make a difference. Ask yourself if the type size will help consumers make a purchase decision.
5. Make an accurate decision by viewing your materials in full size. On-screen proofs are deceiving.
