Beer and wine planograms are similar to other planogram designs in that they help retail and supply managers optimize sales through strategic product facings and merchandising displays. There are a few nuances that comes with merchandising beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages. Different locations have different rules for how alcoholic products can be marketed and sold. For liquor stores, beer and wine are a large chunk of the store’s overall sales. For grocers, it may be only one small part of their food and beverage sales. For convenience stores, it may depend on the location and traffic patterns.

Wine Planogram Design Software

Wine planograms are a critical component of product merchandising for stores that sell wine. With a wide assortment of bottle shapes, sizes and label designs, visual merchandising is a big part of creating aesthetically pleasing and effective planograms. Merchandising wine is more sophisticated than ever before with the constantly evolving behavior of today’s consumer. More than just boxed and bottled, wine is sold in cans of varying shapes and sizes. More than wineries, retailers must be prepared to diversify their traditional wine rack displays with new kinds of product facings and new organizational schemes. To design, implement, and measure wine planograms with a mixture of traditional and new marketing strategies, you need software that’s equal to the task.

Beer Planogram Design Software

The days in which the popular beer categories were just regular and light are long gone. Today, in addition to domestic beers, there is a large variety of popular lagers, ales, and stouts as well as an increasing range of niche products. Beer planograms and product assortment must accommodate a wider range of prices. Beyond just ABV, more consumers than ever are interested in beer qualities like IBU (bitterness) and SRM (color). The vertical rise of the optimal beer shelf is also changing with the increasing popularity of beer cans over beer bottles for the environmentally conscious consumer.

In many ways, beer planograms have become every bit as complicated if not more so than wine. At least wine planograms and optimization trends have a robust sales history. Craft brewery consumer trends are quite new by comparison. In many liquor stores, featured displays near the point of sale are dominated by wine and liquor bottles with a higher price tag than beer, but there is a growing number of exceptions to this rule, too. Category Insights from Scorpion is just the kind of data-driven sales analysis you need for effective management of your beer shelf space.

Planogram Compliance, State Laws, and Sales Optimization

Some states have strict laws about the ways in which beer and wine can be promoted through merchandising. Some states allow restaurants to sell beer and wine to go. Some states prohibit beer and wine sales on Sunday with retailers forced to lock up their display cases. Some states control the available supply of beer, wine, and liquor to one extent or another.

More than pure sales optimization, beer and wine planograms must comply with applicable regulations and supply limitations. Even so, defining a core range is a critical step in optimizing beer and wine sales, just as with other types of retail merchandising. Beer and wine store managers need to know what price points, high and low, must always be stocked in which product categories to optimize sales.
