    Abstract: An interactive map for a retail store floor to determine product placement is disclosed. The interactive floor map can be customized for each retail store using custom-designed or pre-defined fixture blocks. Each fixture block includes a display surface, a representation of a product being displayed, and representation of its associated signage. Multiple products can be included in a fixture block and multiple fixture blocks can then be used to complete the interactive floor map for a retail store. Notes can be added at each level of creating the interactive floor map to add details that may be product, fixture, fixture block, and/or location specific. Also, an effective date and time for an interactive floor map for a store can be managed based on the date and time associated with a local time zone where the store is located.
