If all the standards for organizing proper display are met, it is possible to achieve a significant increase in sales.

According to marketing research, from 40 to 70% of purchase decisions are made spontaneously, and 70 to 80% of customers make the final decision in favor of a particular brand directly at the point of sale. Approximately 70% of customers are significantly influenced by a clearly marked price, supported by promotional materials, and strict adherence to the accepted rules of merchandising provides on average 25 - 30% more money from sales.
