Planogram is the visual representation of the products placed in shelf space. They are used for visual merchandising strategy to improve sales by influencing customer buying behaviour. In a retail store this is done using the product positioning technique to improve retail sales. You can create planograms using a planogramming software. Planogram software is a tool which helps to create a planogram with maximum precision possible in the most realistic way.  

Planogram can be designed using a planogram software for different variety of shelf layouts. These layouts include gondolas, coolers, vending machines, pegboards, slat walls, etc. Most planogram software offers different templates of predefined planograms with standard dimension. These templates are mostly called standard planogram templates. By choosing these standard templates one can create planograms easily instead of creating each planogram from scratch.  

The popular formats of standard templates are gondolas, coolers, vending machines, pegboards, and slat walls.
