Did anyone else’s store go crazy with pushers lately?
I’m talking about the spring loaded pushing systems that keeps product at the front of the shelf. We used to have them mostly in personal care (where they make a lot of sense), but now they’re almost everywhere in essentials and it’s driving me crazy. The spring doesn’t have enough force to move heavier product (like bulkier chem stuff), plus also the backing seat doesn’t have the surface area to really hold wider product snug and keep it installed on the tray thing, so it like turns diagonal and it’s really hard to push new stock. It looks absolutely terrible too, like overlapping product that fell over because the pusher can’t hold the product right without putting lopsided force on one side turning it crooked
Is this everywhere or just my store? My store does a lot of prototyping projects for Target I believe, so not sure if this is just some half baked test idea that’ll get stripped, or if it’s a store wide thing now and the presentation team needs to redo the pushing system thingies
