Focus Items

• We NEED to pick up a broom and do a cleanup under tables and endcaps. There is a lot of dirt and garbage under tables.
• Endcaps and tables need attention. WE NEED to fix crooked blocks on Endcaps. If stores have hit our tables in the IGC have conversations with management on a plan to get them fixed.
• Racks need to be condensed and sorted by brand with signage. There is a lot of half racks in stores that need to be condensed. The goal every visit should be to have stocked tables, endcaps, pallets, and get rid of as many racks as possible.
• Product needs to be rotated. Seeing the same tired product on tables from weeks ago. If you do not have a lot of OPP, we can make that third apron table Vigoro or 2G Perennials. OPP can be worked in the IGC. Rotate product on racks as well.
• Continue to look at Sun/Shade tags. Seeing a lot of shade items on the apron that will need to be protected.
• Watering will be our top priority. Start having conversations with stores on watering and setting up sprinklers where we can.
• 2G/3G perennials on the ground need attention. Table wrapping is acceptable, but we need to rotate product and keep a clean presentation.
