Suggest a better in-store display from a shelf photo
Photograph a store shelf and get practical ideas to make your products easier to find and more tempting, ready to suggest to the store.
When to use it
During a store visit
Step by step
Take clear shelf photos
Ask the store before taking photos. Capture your products and the area around them from the front, plus one wider shot of the aisle.
Ask for display ideas
Attach the photos in your AI assistant on your phone.
Prompt to copyI'm a sales rep for [brand]. These photos show where our products sit in a [type of store]. Our products are [describe packaging so they can be spotted]. Look at the display and give me: 1) what a shopper would notice first, 2) problems with our products' visibility (gaps, hidden facings, poor labels, wrong neighbours), 3) five practical improvements the store could make in under an hour, ranked by likely impact, and 4) one short sentence I can use to suggest the best one to the store manager.Agree a change and record it
Suggest the top idea to the store, then take an after photo so you can compare sales or stock movement on your next visit.
What you get
First noticed: competitor's bright red boxes at eye level. Problems: two of our facings hidden behind a price sign; gap where the large size should be. Quick fix: move the sign and refill the large size. Line: 'Shall we move this sign so shoppers can see the full range?'
Tips
- Keep before-and-after photos in a dated album for each store. They make a strong case in your next buyer meeting.
