In-Store Merchandising That Educate, Demonstrate, Sell

At EDS Strategy, we enhance the in-store experience with live in-store demo and merchandising programs to drive velocity, influence purchase decisions, and create loyal brand fans. 

What we do

In-Store Retail Merchandising Company. Merchandising Done Differently. 

Most merchandising companies treat store visits as checkbox exercises. 1099 contractors show up, take a photo, and leave—without understanding your brand standards, your shelf presence goals, or how to influence the retail team to prioritize your products.

EDS Strategy is an end-to-end retail merchandising company specializing in the natural food and CPG space. Our 100% W2 Employee in-house team serves as an extension of your field sales organization—executing store visits, retail audits, and shelf merchandising with the same Educate, Demonstrate, Sell® approach that drives velocity for leading brands.

Why EDS Strategy? 

Demos and merchandising visits Powered By Our  Educate, Demonstrate, Sell® Approach +  Proprietary Software, DemoFox™

Educate

The right in-store demo and merchandising companies start with the right team. We do not crowd source reps off facebook sites or social media forms 

Demonstrate

We connect with store managers and department managers to execute flawless merchandising—rotation, facing, shelf placement. 

Sell

Most in store merchandising companies are just taking pictures and leaving. We Recover voids and out-of-stocks before they cost you velocity
- Secure incremental placement  through relationships built with store leadership
- Drive basket attachment by ensuring complementary products are properly positioned
