Article Abstract:
Bongrain's Fromagers Associes is placing a priority on the reorganisation and visibility of the cheese section of delicatessen counters. The Fromagers Associes recommends a full merchandising solution which would make it possible to adapt this department to consumers expectations of tradition, appeal, advice, and choice. According to Fromagers Associes, the future of this department lies in qualified and motivated personnel. Therefore they have created the IPP, an approved training organisation. The also offer retail chains an analysis merchandising tool which also is appropriate for fresh-packaged cheese. The Fromagers Associes recommend putting fresh packaged cheese as an extension of the delicatessen counters. These two departments are complementary and should be balanced in terms of size and selection. They should provide a full selection, at the same prices.
