Case Study: Holland & Barrett

Summary

Bluestones One are very proud to support Holland & Barrett with their New Stores Programme.

Our team of expert merchandisers supported Holland & Barrett’s New Store Implementation Team by merchandising all areas throughout the store, leading up to the store opening.

Challenges

Bluestones One’s challenge was to ensure that the correct skill set within the team was selected correctly. There are a lot of small line items to be merchandised, the largest section being vitamins.  Attention to detail is required when matching the product to the planogram and shelf edge labels and installing POS, such as headers and shelf talkers to the standard Holland and Barrett expect.

Results

Working alongside Holland & Barrett’s internal team, Bluestones One merchandisers worked as one, showing a high standard of professionalism achieving great result’s for the opening of the store.
