Moulding & Millwork Merchandising Tips

When designing your moulding merchandising prograrn, GeorgiaPacific advises to keep the following goals in mind:

Create a self-serve environment to minimize the need for sales assistance.

. Maximize visibility of bin signage.

. Help the consumer identify the product needed for his particular project. Use section signs to group various moulding uses under major categories, such as ceiling treafinents and base treatments, and profile cards to show what a profile looks like and where it is most often used.

. Promote moulding project ideas including built-up moulding designs.

. Provide d-i-yers with pocketsized, step-by-step instructions on finishing and installing moulding.
