Retail fag here.

Any anons with experience in the industry have any advice to share about setting up good merchandise displays on endcaps? I'm trying to learn about how to merchandise my inventory but getting fucking nowhere.

I guess more details are in order.

>Need to figure out which items to display, but not sure whether to go for top sellers or best profit margins, since very little of my merchandise is seasonally-related, most of it gets consistent year round sales

The reality is that corporate is going to fuck you no matter what you do. The best you can do is either follow the planogram they send you or only put stuff you have enough of on the end caps. Nothing, except Walmart piggy trough bins, looks lower class than an end with gaping holes.

your issue isn't displays, it's most likely lack of knowledge + customer service

specialized stores will always shit on you, your competitive advantage is cheap prices and retarded consumers as a big box retail

Corporate loves sending me shit that doesn't sell and takes up space for months at a time. For everything other than that and my top sellers, I usually have to resort to ordering more of something to keep an endcap full.
