As a long-term field merchandiser in retail grocery field, I have identified a huge gap in aisle operations. The cry from floor crews, consistently, has been more thorough, standardized training for the new and needy merchandisers. MerchTheShop fills that gap as the only standardized, mobile applied learning program for the consumables packaged goods aisles.
Our Mission
MerchTheShop is the name of the whole training program which is made up of three program modules. MerchTheShop encompasses the workers (‘merch’), the tight and deep CPG field (no space), and their care of the everyday grocery store (Shop).
MerchTheShop is powered by the WordPress site, merchandisersminutes.ca. This partnership empowers the teamwork as the content is relatable and authored by experienced merchandisers. The articles are concise and address consumer package goods merchandising based on the four pillars of merchandising for customer sell.
The mission of ‘MerchTheShop’ is an applied learning training program designed to improve the work of Consumer-Packaged Goods merchandisers within the CPG retail store environment.
MerchTheShop improves the work in the CPG aisles. The merchandiser is learning and perfecting their existing skills as soon as they have their name badge.
The Framework
MerchTheShop consists of two modules centered on the home shelf management. The merchandiser then has the option to sign-on to learn/use the promotions project manager. All instruction material is supported by content, contributed by experienced merchandisers, on WordPress Merchandisersminutes.ca.
Certification of Skills
All modules sections finish with a quiz. Upon completion of the first module, the second module is a three-part scenario exam. All are moderated and certificates are issued on completion.
Method of Delivery
The requirement of the program is a mobile device (tablet or Smartphone) and internet. The program can be monitored by either in-house management subscription or by our MerchTheShop home base. Please see our service option page for more info.
