When retailers include inventory or services unrelated to their usual merchandise, it leads to scrambled merchandising. The practice of scrambled merchandising can lead to better profitability for the store when it is backed by a robust strategic plan. Merchandising based on the identification of the customer needs and wants increases the chances of retail success through diverse inventory. However, inappropriate and scattered merchandising can lead to financial losses, and can affect the image of the stores and its identity.
Understanding the customer needs and innovation of customer experience is the key to the decision to pursue scrambled merchandising.
