French term or phrase: iconisations du fond de rayon
This is from a very succinct document outlining marketing strategies for a French food product sold in major supermarkets in France.

It's just a list of brief items under headings, so not much context unfortunately.

From reading other entries I've taken "fond de rayon" to mean the standard stock (since in another section they talk about promotions). But I can't find the meaning of "iconisations." My sense is that it's something to do with the imagery used to draw attention to products on the shelves (in relation to the "balisages" below?). But I'm not sure what that would be in English. Any ideas?

"ENGAGER
Iconisations du fond de rayon
+ de 300 balisages Product Name et Product Name
Poses"

UK English ok.

Thanks!

Explanation:
I don't think we'd use the word "iconisations" in English in this sense. In fact it doesn't seem to be too common in French either but found this:

You can use icon if it's an online image but otherwise I'd just use picture or image

I think is just baseline or standard stock procucts though some seem to think it's stuff at the end of aisles or on bottom shelves.

Maybe "products not on promotion" would cover it all
