The 17 brands from the Recipe for Retail pavilion wrapped up their buyer meetings this afternoon at ECRM's Center Store Grocery Sessions. What an enthusiastic, passionate group of emerging brands, with innovative products and a ton of energy! We all loved watching them show their support for each other as they showcased their products and engaged the dozens of buyers from major retailers who made their way through the pavilion. Thanks to Monique Wilsondebriano and Chevalo wilsondebriano for all of the education and redources you provide for your Recipe for Retail members, and for setting this up with Tyler B., and to Ihsan Sewer, MBA-LM, C.H.R.M. for introducing us to this fantastic group! And a big shout out to Client Success Manager Caroline B. for helping these brands get the most out of their time with us! ECRM's Joseph Tarnowski spent a lot of time in the pavilion this week interviewing many of the brands on video, and you'll see these videos over the coming days — stay tuned! #smallbusiness #cpg #retail #food #ecrmrangeme Sarah Davidson Greg F.

We're throlled to be working with the Recipe for Retail group to help their emerging brand members connect with retail buyers!
Monique Wilsondebriano and Chevalo wilsondebriano are on a mission to help emerging brands grow and thrive, and launched Recipe for Retail as an incubator, community and resource for founder-led CPG suppliers across categories. At ECRM's Center Store Grocery Sessions here in Vegas, they are showcasing 17 food brands from the group -- each with their own meeting space within a dedicated ballroom. I've had the pleasure to spend some time with most of these brands. Many are family-owned, family-run businesses and each has its own unique origin story. What I loved most about the group is its strong sense of community -- even though some may be competitors, they each cheer each other on after a successful meeting. The room is full of energy and excitement! In this video, I chat with Monique and Chevalo about how Recipe for Retail works with brands at every stage of their development to help them develop their products and position their brands to succeed on retail shelves!

When it comes to functional beverages, there are CLAIMS, and there are CATEGORIES, and it's important for brands and retailers to know how each can reflect the growth of a particular product segment, according to NielsenIQ's Jordan Moore, who spoke at ECRM's Beverage Session in Vegas earlier today. Claims refer to the general areas addressed by the functional beverage, such as energy, metabolism, weight loss/gain, etc. Categories refer to the segment in which those beverages fit, such as sports drink, soft drink, sparkling water, etc. Growth or loss in one area does not necessarily reflect groth or loss in another. For example, while brain health beverage sales overall may be declining, those in kombucha may be growing. So it's important to determine where a particular product lies within the spectrum. And while some functional beverages may have many claims, you can't go too crazy putting them all on your packaging. Teo seems to be the sweet spot, according to Jordan. Below Jordan shares some takeaways from her presentation with ECRM's Joseph Tarnowski! #beverage #wellness #consumerinsights #ecrmrangeme Marc S Santos Alessandra Andrade Balerini Meg Major Sarah Davidson Tyler B.

🌟 What an incredible week at the ECRM Personal Care Conference in Indian Wells, CA! 🌟 I had the pleasure of attending with our CEO, Caroline Goodner, where we connected with existing customers and shared the story and success of FemiClear and CUROXEN with potential new partners. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends in the industry and make new connections too. The innovations showcased at the conference were truly impressive, and the positive feedback we received from retailers about the relevancy and importance of FemiClear's solutions in Feminine Care has me more excited than ever about the opportunities ahead for the brand! A huge thank you to ECRM for organizing such a fantastic event. Joseph Tarnowski, I can't wait to see the interview you did with Caroline! You have mad skills in bringing out the best so I know it will be awesome! Feeling grateful and energized for the future! Big thank you to the OrganiCare, LLC team back in Austin for all their work and support to help us show up with everything we needed to put our best foot forward!

In today's challenging economy, consumers are shifting their shopping tactics to help stretch their dollars farther. Among these tactics are: - Trading down products to less expensive items - Trading down outlets - Stocking up on products during sales - Switching to private brands In this fireside chat, recorded at ECRM's Personal Care, Health Care and Baby & Infant Session, NielsenIQ's Michael Galaburda — who presented earlier at the Session — discusses how consumers are deploying each of these tactics with their purchases. #consumerinsights #shopperinsights #healthcare #retail #omnichannel #storebrands #privatelabel #ecrmrangeme Yvonne Buisson Marc S Santos Alessandra Andrade Balerini Meg Major Sarah Davidson Judy A.

Did my first Haka tonight! 😁 It was Luau Night at ECRM's Personal Care, Health Care and Baby & Infant Session in Cali, and among the festivities was an amazing group doing Polynesian dances. After they performed the Haka they asked for volunteers, so with a little encouragement from my wonderful colleagues I (reluctantly) stepped up, and grabbed Mass Market Retailers' John Dioguardi to join in, along with two other participants. I have to admit it was a lot of fun — after all, who doesn't like stomping and yelling? 😁 I also got a temporary tattoo on my neck. Watch this one till the end! #haka #cpg #retail #personalcare #healthcare #baby #ecrmrangeme Craig C. Sarah Davidson Kurt R. Lisa C. Melissa Schiely Kelsee Haight Kara Bemer Greg F.

The Chicago-based brand sells beans that are grown on U.S. farms and packaged in recyclable steel cans. Call them “magic beans,” if you will, because buyers from retailers like Whole Foods Market, Meijer, Food Lion and independent grocers have been eagerly scooping them up after connecting with Founder Maggie Sadowsky via RangeMe and ECRM, and can now be found in more than 2,000 stores nationwide. Learn more about 8 Track Foods and some of the reasons behind its success in our latest blog post below! #smallbusiness #womanowned #organic #cpg #ecrmrangeme
