Merchandising direction depends on the task

Use current assignments and location-specific direction, not this fictional example, to guide store work.

Campaigns, products, and store layouts can vary by location and date. Check the current assignment in Frontline Execution for the applicable task, instructions, and due date. Follow approved local guidance identified there.

Fictional example only: a spring accessories display might be assigned for a front table during a campaign week. That example is not a Northstar campaign, placement instruction, or policy.

Sample setup and check sequence

Illustrative steps only; use the assigned task and approved local direction for actual work.

  1. 1

    Review the assignment

    Open Frontline Execution and confirm the task, location, due date, and any reference materials before starting.

  2. 2

    Prepare the area

    Check the assigned space and gather the listed materials. Keep walkways, exits, and required safety equipment unobstructed.

  3. 3

    Set up to the approved direction

    Arrange the display using the current task instructions for the campaign and location. Do not rely on the fictional spring display example as a layout standard.

  4. 4

    Verify and record completion

    Compare the finished area with the task’s stated checks, correct any visible mismatch, and record completion in Frontline Execution as directed.

Where the work happens

Frontline Execution

Use Frontline Execution for current assigned store execution tasks. Confirm the task details and applicable location instructions in the app; this page does not replace the assignment.

When direction is missing

Pause before applying an uncertain or conflicting display instruction. Ask the established store leader or merchandising support route to confirm which current direction applies.
