Nothing is random at an Apple store, particularly the product lay-outs, which are standardized through “planograms” that document where everything should be located. The product placement planning begins at Apple’s retail headquarters in Cupertino (Calif.), and ends with a series of detailed listings and diagrams that have been previously revealed. Now a store visitor has spotted the use of of a planogram “in the wild” as an employee re-stocked some shelves. The planograms are in a binder, and consist of a text-based diagram of where iPod/iPhone accessories are to be placed on the wall pegs. The text is accompanied by a page of tiny photos of each product to even better detail their required locations. Check a photo after the break.
The employee who is restocking the shelves will pick the needed items from the back storeroom and put them into a plastic bin. Once out front, he/she will then locate the proper display location, using the planograms if the product is totally out of stock.
