Execute with Confidence

As part of the collaborative process, the Instore team uses 3M’s VAS software to visually show where the shopper’s eye moves and the areas of the display that are most impactful.

Designs can be tested and evaluated in the ideation stage before display production. This valuable data earned Great Northern Instore ‘Vendor-approved’ status at Sam’s Club Stores and development of their new Style Guide.
