Shelf Test contains a product editor that gives you the flexibility to tailor your product images and control exactly how they appear on the shelves. Add facings to products, adjust the scale of products, and populate the shelves to create a test that precisely reflects what your purchasers experience when shopping. 

 

 

1. Scaling Products 

  1. Click the contact card icon to the right of each product to open the product editor. This is where you will customize your products. Your product sits atop a background with reference measurements for scale.
  2. Click and drag the handles on the upper right- or left-hand corners to scale the product to the height that it will show on the shelf. The height and width fields update as you scale the product.
  3. Click either the Height text field or Width text field to type in specific dimensions. These dimensions are locked to maintain the original aspect ratio of the product image and will update according to the scale of the original image provided.
  4. Click Apply this scale to other products in order to apply a specified scale to all products programmed in the current shelf test.

2. Updating Product Images

Below the product image, you can delete the current product image, update the product image, and add additional images of the product.

  1. Click the second camera icon and choose an image from your hard drive to add additional images (i.e. nutritional info) to your product.

Images should have the highest resolution possible (at least 72dpi) and a transparent background. PNG files are recommended.

3. Updating Product Details 

  1. Click the first text field to the right, in order to add or edit the product name that is displayed in the survey editor.
  2. Click the second text field to add a description (optional).
    Note: Descriptions will only display if the eCommerce shelf type is selected, as it is the only shelf type to display a written description of the product. A description will only display if this field is completed.
  3. Click the Regular price field to add the price for the product, and click the Discounted price field to add a discounted price for the product. When a discounted price is listed, the price tags on the shelf will update to reflect the discount.
  4. Click the Units/package field to update the units per package for each product.

  1. Click the arrow to the right of the product name to open a list of the other products in the shelf test. Select an item from this list to open it in the product editor.
  2. Click the Previous product or Next product navigation at the bottom of the contact card to move through the product contact cards in a linear fashion.
