BS1.2 - Hair colouring: improving presentation and raising sales
POS Tuning will show how to optimise the hair colouring section in a standard supermarket
environment. This is based on a project that was driven by Schwarzkopf-Henkel, category
leader in hair colouration, and leading German supermarket chain Edeka. Both companies
wanted to achieve better sales results and a better image by improving the presentation
of this category. POS Tuning supported the project by providing a flexible shelf
management system and analysing customer feedback. After six months the companies
decided to roll out the solution. More than 40 outlets have since been fitted out.

BS 2.1 - Making the most of shelf-ready packaging
An important aspect of presentation for retail outlets is the handling of shelf-ready
packaging. Apart from the need for economically stocked shelves, there are other
crucial factors to consider. Many impulse purchases, for instance, are prevented
because products are left standing in the rear recess of the carton tray or tip
over.
This session by POS Tuning will show how a combination of classic SRP and push-feed
systems brings advantages for retailers, brands and consumers.

BS 2.7 - TPM – dealing with a critical issue
To describe trade promotion management (TPM) as a vexing problem is an understatement,

packaged goods.
Here industry leaders will share experiences and solutions to help consumer packaged
goods companies become high performers by creating, shaping, managing and evaluating
trade promotions from execution to evaluation. This session will set out current
TPM challenges, describe a new solution from Accenture and SAP, and show how to
drive the benefits and get started on your own TPM journey.

BS 2.15 - Dispenser pumps and environmental emissions
Since 1997 Taplast spa reckons to have sold more than 830 million all-plastic dispenser
pumps. In this briefing session the company will reveal the results of carbon footprint
analysis carried out at Milan Polytechnic, comparing CO2 emissions from all-plastic
pumps and from pumps with metal springs.
The study shows that, over the lifecycle of the products from raw material manufacture
to final disposal, the all-plastic pumps represent a reduction of more than 5,000
metric tons in CO2 discharges to the environment compared with their metal-spring
equivalents.
