Jacent Strategic Merchandising
Huntingdon valley, PA
Who We Are
We are experts at retail merchandising. With our data-driven insights and complete line of impulse items, we’re enabling inspired shopping
experiences, and higher sales. Jacent was formed in 2016 by the merger of LaMi Products and ATA Retail Services, two pioneers in impulse merchandising with a combined 60 years of experience. With the industry’s largest database of retail intelligence, the deepest inventory of impulse products, and the most
experienced team, we’re the premier strategic merchandising partner to North America’s retailers.
What We Do
Jacent sources, warehouses, ships, and stocks over 3,500 impulse items to over 14,000 retail stores across the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada. We create a strategic merchandising plan for each store–then place the ideal impulse items in the ideal locations, with follow-up re-ordering and restocking. In addition to our impulse business, Jacent offers retail insights and services, such as audits and shelf stocking, to help stores run at peak efficiency.
What We Deliver
The result of our work is two-fold: By connecting consumers with the right items; even ones they didn’t know they were looking for — we inspire
shopping experiences. And in the process, we’re helping our retail customers generate incremental sales. It’s a win-win.
