PLMA - Private Label Manufacturers Association’s Post

Private Label products are now core, every-shopping-trip items on all households' grocery lists. They are no longer just questionable duplications of leading National Brands, but outstanding in quality and selection. What is becoming more and more prevalent are the unique offerings, which means PL is launching products and building a following for items that don't exist under a National Brand. For that to have happened, retailers have been successful in creating trust and belief with their shoppers, and not just by offering a better value. PL growth continues to shine..... embrace it!

In the fiercely competitive world of beverages, innovation is key. For emerging brands, breaking into the market and securing coveted retail shelf space can seem like scaling Everest 🏔️ Limited visibility, distribution hurdles, and consumer skepticism are just a few potential roadblocks But fear not The Craft Beverage Expo & Conference in Reno starts today, and I'm excited to explore how non-traditional beverage brands carve out their niche in absolute triumph! My industry experience leads me to believe that the ✨key solution✨ lies in collaboration These non-traditional brands might benefit from banding together to amplify their collective voice and leverage shared resources to gain traction in the market Additionally, differentiation is paramount By focusing on what sets them apart—whether it's unique flavours, sustainable practices, or a compelling brand story—brands can capture consumer attention and stand out on crowded shelves 🤝 So, my fellow industry trailblazers, join me at booth #603 and let's embark on this journey together and emerge victorious in our quest to redefine what it means to be a non-traditional beverage brand.

Finding future demand with Lisa King, Founder of AF Drinks Lisa King is the Founder of non-alcoholic cocktail brand AF Drinks. The brand was founded in New Zealand and is expanding into the United States in 2023, but prior to 2020, this fast-moving product category was practically non-existent, while some people laughed at the concept of a non-alcoholic drink. So, what changed in the minds of consumers to create demand, and how did Lisa spot the opportunity to start a business in this up-and-coming category? Read more below ⬇️

It was great to be back at Natural Products Expo West after 10 years! My highlights of the show were: - The quality of the show: New Hope Network keeps doing a great job putting together a one-size-fits-all kind of show. No matter if you’re an entrepreneur just starting your journey, an emerging brand, or a mainstream brand there is something for everyone! - The contagious energy: Every single brand that had a booth, invested a ton of money according to their possibilities, and tried their best to stand out. The great thing is that you don’t need the have the biggest booth to be remembered, sometimes all it takes is an amazing product, story or outfit. - The evolution of brands: Big and mature brands are there to keep growing and serve as motivation to all small brands. Smaller brands are there to look up to the big guys and be reminded that the dream is possible! - The presence of buyers: Showing real interest and representing different industries (retail, food service, hospitality, etc.), geographies, sizes looking for the next big thing! - The interest from investors: Trying to find the next diamond in the rough to add to their portfolio and help turn into a success story, and helping brands in their portfolio through the power of their network Santatera Capital It was the first time the full new Tia Lupita®Foods team was together in person! We showed up with a new booth that gave a glimpse into the kitchen of everyone’s favorite Tia, showcased new packaging and labels that better connects with consumers, and sampled legacy and new products! I leave VERY tired (who isn’t?), but full of energy to keep growing our brand and spreading the love of great tasting Mexican products made with mindful ingredients! #expowest #tialupitafoods #mexicanfood #mindfulingredients

Another National Beer Wholesalers Association Annual Convention in the books! It was great to meet and learn from so many great people in the industry. Here are a few takeaways from the conversations I had: 1. The competition for drinking occasions is as fierce as ever 2. The “non” space has a ton of energy (non- alc, non-beer, non-alc but buzz) 3. Whatever space you are in or competing against a few things remain true: - Quality matters. - Innovation in product, positioning and messaging is critical. - The acceleration of dynamic consumer demand is not abating. Competition can drive some amazing outcomes, if you ever want to talk about how to make your brand stand out at the point of purchase, drop me a line.
