Which combination should be prioritized and maintained at 100% volume?

• A. Both A and C
• B. Fourth through sixth row of wall bays and Fourth row of center fixtures
• C. Fourth through sixth row of wall bays and Appeal tables
• D. Fourth row of center fixtures and Appeal tables

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is prioritizing the areas that customers most notice and that often drive sales, and keeping them at full capacity so products are always visible and accessible.

The best choice focuses on two key display zones: the wall bays in the described back/mid rows and the central display areas. Maintaining 100% volume in the wall bays (the fourth through sixth rows) ensures the core merchandise is continuously prominent along one of the main sightlines. At the same time, keeping the central displays (the fourth row of center fixtures and the appeal tables) fully stocked ensures attention-grabbing promotions and featured items stay front-and-center where customers naturally pause.

This combination gives you coverage in both major discovery paths on the floor—along the walls for core products and at the center for promotions—maximizing visibility and potential sales. If you only focus on one zone, you risk gaps in merchandising where customers are likely to look first; spreading volume too thin or choosing less-visible areas reduces overall impact.
