Simon gave me this map (100kb) of Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury’s supermarket layout. It’s lovely – and could help illustrate how supermarkets drive traffic around the shop. A recent article at View Source noted that it’s very tricky to do this ‘herding’ online.

‘Secrets of the supermarket’ is an informative article related to marketing strategies of the modern supermarket. It outlines what the strategies of supermarket are and how they affect the customer. The article breaks down the sections such as fresh produce and convenience foods and describing the differences. The article focuses a lot on the environmental aspects that persuade customers to make purchases such as organic food, the use of artificial additives in foods and packaging. Rauber discusses the layouts of the supermarket and how they attempt to persuade the shopper’s habits, such as the produce section being located at the entrance of the store. Also the milk being located in inconvenient places such as the rear of the store which makes the customer have to travel through other aisles, where most of the impulse buys are.
