Featured shelf book rotation

Refresh the featured shelf to surface different titles and remove worn copies; do this when the current display has been up for two weeks or more.

⏱ 30 min ★ Easy

Target

The featured shelf currently displays the same set of face-out books for multiple weeks, including some worn or out-of-season titles and an outdated shelf label.

Obstacle

Choosing suitable replacement titles from backstock takes time because shelves are deep and inventory locations aren't immediately obvious, and dust or misaligned covers add small delays.

Expectation

After the routine the featured shelf presents a new selection of face-out covers in good condition, updated signage, and a logged record of replaced titles.

Tools

• Microfiber cloth — 1
• Tablet or smartphone — 1

Steps

01

Remove and inspect display copies

Take each face-out book off the shelf, inspect cover and pages for damage, place damaged or outdated copies in a 'replace' pile and return acceptable copies to a holding cart.

⏱ 5 min

Select replacement titles

Check the inventory app or backstock shelves to choose 8–12 replacement titles that fit the theme and are in good condition, pull them to the cart, and note their locations.

Arrange and label the display

Place new selections face-out, balance heights and spacing for visibility, update or swap shelf labels and any promotional signage, and center price or category tags.
