Archived Entertainment Planogram Nightmare 1,3,5,7,9

[jenna]

It feels like over the last few months or so, POGs and (mostly) Revisions have been ass backwards.
This includes:
-Product spacing issues
-Peg spacing issues
-Changing out 20+ strips only when really one or two needed it
-Adding a trailing .01 (1-2-3.01) to every item in the POG for no logical reason

I don't know what the hell is going on with whatever team designs the planograms but it feels like they have let children take the helm.

They are also having issues with schematic information not being printed on the label strip either. So everything on the shelf is printed without the schematic number.

I did a few revisions where all the pegs changed and each peg got its own number, regardless of whether it was multiple facings of the same product. Made it really confusing.

I'd also like to know what's up with all the displays that have been coming in NOF.

There was a revision in Toys (My Little Pony, I think) that had jacked up Pegs. The same DPCI was on 3 pegs, but it had 3 different schematic numbers, instead of simply repeating the same one 3x. Yikes.

I think this was the one that each dpci or two of them had different price points too. I mysupported it, and the response I got was, "Can't you just set it like the planogram" facepalm

I started reading this thread and then I just kinda went blank and started shaking all crazy like. the nightmare of this… what ever you call it for I still do not believe this is its final form. it just can not be…

yeah this one is just not right. the alphabetical music thing is just going to be balls of fun during the deeper part of Christmas. People shop music by genre not by the alphabet, which sadly Target can not get right. one does not put The Doors in the " T " section.

As an added bonus Christmas movies are Every fracking where. It's like they got Oprah to do this one. You get Christmas movie every shelf gets a Christmas movie.

That Oprah joke was darn funny on my head. so I hope y'all enjoy it. 🙂

Well at this point I have given a random DVD on affected aisles to the entertainment /and electronics sales team members and they are just stumped. It makes me smile knowing that they see how messed up this is to try to push. Also capacity's are way way off , like it fits one and it says 11. I hope the next RV fixes it. I mean it just makes you look so stupid when you are trying to find a location for a guest. As as side note the salesfloor person assigned to finish the browser set behind the original pog frog couldn't handle it and called out to avoid the whole issue. I mean just as was stated before it should be easier. At least that part is easier for me.I mean as easy as ABC.

Lately revisions don't fix a thing - they just mess things up even more.

There used to be a position called Entertainment Specialist. Entertainment Specialists used to handle this stuff (POG revisions in music, movies, and books), which was beyond the scope of responsibility of most electronics TMs. Now it's generally the plano team's responsibility.
