A Merchandising Expert Witness may evaluate shelf position, display location, product adjacency, visibility, allocated space, promotional placement, and compliance with planograms or retailer instructions. Store photographs, diagrams, merchandising agreements, field audits, sales records, and related documentation can help establish how products were positioned and presented during the relevant period.
Visual merchandising concerns how products, displays, signage, fixtures, and promotional elements are presented to shoppers. A Merchandising Expert Witness may compare documented visual standards with store photographs, floor plans, display instructions, promotional materials, and other records to assess whether the actual presentation was consistent with established merchandising requirements or practices.
Relevant records may include planograms, merchandising manuals, product-placement instructions, store photographs, field-audit reports, retailer communications, promotional calendars, assortment records, and display documentation. Comparing these materials with store-level evidence can help determine whether planned product placement, shelf allocation, or presentation was implemented consistently across locations or during the period at issue.
Merchandising expertise focuses more specifically on product assortment, placement, presentation, displays, shelf allocation, and promotional execution. Retail expertise is broader and may encompass store operations, customer service, inventory management, retail policies, staffing, and other aspects of operating a retail business. Merchandising expertise is generally more relevant when product presentation and in-store execution are central to the dispute.
Merchandising expertise can address where and how a product was displayed, positioned, or presented to consumers. Issues involving product hazards, warnings, recalls, safety standards, testing, or the safety characteristics of the product itself may require a consumer product safety expert witness with more specialized knowledge in those areas.
