WHAT WE DO
50 years ago, SPAR pioneered data based retail analytics. Responding to client requests, we soon applied our retail knowledge to merchandising. Today we are the world’s leader in retail merchandising and field marketing services, getting more of our clients’ products out of the store, more effectively, more efficiently and more profitably.
We offer three categories of retail service to fit the specific needs of every client:
Regularly scheduled continuity service to meet our Retailer, Manufacturer and Distributor partners’ unique needs. The combination of our broad national – and international – coverage, focused personnel, efficient operations and state-of-the-art technology make us an ideal partner for these large-scale programs.
Syndicated Services
No other retail services company offers our level of flexibility to support your key projects when and how you need them supported, including new product launches, seasonal/promotional services, major category resets, and new store openings.
Project Services
The scope of work for some clients requires more than continuity. It requires dedication. We have the personnel, scale and coverage, nationally and internationally, to provide merchandising teams dedicated to the needs of specific clients.
Dedicated Services
And, we provide a variety of retail services:
IN-STORE MERCHANDISING
In-store merchandising is at the core of everything we do. Our business is dedicated to and continually investing in it. Our management is focused on it. And, our people developed specifically for it.
We are the global merchandising leader, providing world class merchandising services across six continents to the grocery, drug, big box, discount/dollar, office supercenter, warehouse/club, specialty, pet, department and convenience/gas channels.
Our SPARtrac® Retail Service Operations System assures speed, efficiency, and real-time reporting that are at the forefront of the merchandising industry.
Our unwavering goal is to maximize the amount of product you move out of the store by maximizing your brand presence in-store.
