Abstract

The principle that “eye-level is buy level” underpins planogram optimization and retailer-manufacturer agreements. When a product is moved to eye-level, the remaining products on the same shelving unit can be reorganized in several different ways (i.e., planogram reorganization). This study examines how different planogram reorganizations affect the magnitude of the eye-level effect. Using data from a subset of a field experiment, we compare eye-level placement under two distinct planogram reorganizations.
