What is a merchandiser: definition of the concept

The word "merchandise" in translation from English means several concepts at once - this is a product, and commodity science, and even paraphernalia. Adding the ending “er” to it means a profession (specialty), that is, the concept of “merchandiser” means nothing more than “product specialist”.

Merchandiser or Merchandiser - which is correct?

Merchandiser is an anglicism that has not yet taken a strong position in the Russian language, so the question of its correct spelling and pronunciation in the Russian version cannot have an unambiguous answer. In the original language, the word is written as "merchandiser", where the letter "a" is pronounced as a cross between "a" and "e". That is, in a discussion about how it is right - Merchandiser or Merchandiser both sides can be considered right.

In part, as an arbitrator in this dispute, Internet search engines can be involved, which prefer the first option (writing through the letter “a” in the second syllable). But it is impossible to draw conclusions about the unconditional and unconditional correctness of this version on this basis.

What is the work of a merchandiser: job description, main responsibilities

Work as a merchandiser, contrary to popular belief, does not at all mean the fulfillment of duties limited to laying out goods on supermarket shelves. Sales promotion and sales increase is always the result integrated approach to the trading process, which includes a wide range of actions.

Yes, in job responsibilities of a merchandiser typically includes the following functionality:

  • study of consumer demand, including depending on the characteristics target audience, seasonality indicators and other factors;

  • ensuring free movement of buyers trading floor and last choice the right goods without the help of sellers or with minimal help (analysis of the display of goods and control over compliance with accepted standards);
  • production of a competitive analysis in terms of promoting a similar product or substitutes (substitute products);
  • reporting on the results of using marketing tools and monitoring the growth of sales of goods.

This list of responsibilities can be expanded or specified depending on the goals of the company or a particular store, as well as trade, pricing and assortment policies. That is, the answer to the question what does a merchandiser do, can only be approximate - the functionality sometimes differs even among fellow merchandisers working in the same company, but at different sites.

What does a merchandiser do in a supermarket

Supermarket and hypermarket are the most popular and promising sales formats in retail (retail). It is in self-service stores, according to various sites that advertise open vacancies and job searches, that merchandisers are most often required.

Everything is logical, because it is in such trading conditions that merchandiser work(subject to quality execution) is one of the key guarantees for increasing sales and promoting specific products on the market.

For comparison: in smaller retail outlets that do not involve self-service (small shops, kiosks, pavilions), the method of displaying goods does not really matter. This is due to the fact that the main goal of observing a certain display technology is a psychological impact on the buyer (location of more expensive goods at the visitor’s eye level, ensuring the effect of having an assortment, etc.), and with a different sales format, the costs of merchandiser services, as a rule, do not have economic justification.
