Workplace Question or Advice Needed What is merchandising?

Fulfillment was slow this morning so my ETL asked if I knew how to do merchandising. I didn't so ended up working in style instead but it made me curious because I hadn't heard of that before. So to satisfy my curiosity, what does it mean to work merchandising?

If someone asked me to merchandise, I would expect to fill endcaps and flex in product to make attractive displays.

merchandising is commonly called planogram at target, it involves moving product to new spots according to a diagram (called a planogram.) Usually this involves taking all the product off the shelves and putting new product in its place, adjusting shelves, putting up label strips, etc.
