One visit and a short sitting

Seasonal shelf study

Owners commission a seasonal shelf study when an order for umbrellas, school stationery, festival packets, or cooling goods is about to be written and last year's leftovers are still in the room.

Shelves of folded rain covers and stacked household goods in a dim shop before the rainy season

Who asks for it

A shop that already knows which family of goods the season will pull forward. The study covers that family, not the whole floor.

What you leave with

A short set of drawings: last season's remainder, the current facing, and the reserve in the back. You can place the order with those three piles in view.

Who does the work

Ploy Rattanapong leads the visit. Kiet Thongchai draws the pages. Suda Prasert joins the sitting when the order is large enough to affect the whole floor.

Before we arrive

Point us to the bay and the cartons that belong to the season. If last year's boxes are marked in your own way, show us the mark.

Bounds of the file

One product family, one Bangkok address, usually delivered within a week of the visit. A festival week in the shop may push the sitting to the next quiet afternoon.

In the file

  • One visit timed before you usually write the order
  • A count limited to the product family named in the brief
  • Last year's remainder separated from new stock if the cartons show it
  • A short sitting, about forty-five minutes
  • One bound copy and a PDF

Left with you and your own advisers

  • The rest of the shop outside the named family
  • Negotiating the supplier's price
  • A full stockroom reading of every bay

The order of the work

  1. 01

    Name the family

    You tell us the goods and the week you usually send the order. We book the visit a few days before that week.

  2. 02

    The visit

    We count the facing and the reserve for that family only. Other bays are left alone.

  3. 03

    The pages

    Kiet draws the three piles. The sitting is often at the shop counter after the afternoon trade thins.
