What Can a Grocery Broker Do for Your Brand?

Some vendors might think that food brokers or grocery brokers are just glorified salesmen—they sell a product to different stores or chains and nothing more.

In truth, great grocery brokers do so much more than that. The best agencies serve as partners for their clients. Not only can they get products onto shelves, they can:

                               https://www.impactgrp.com/
  • Monitor store-level activity and pricing
  • Give clients invaluable insights into their competitive landscape
  • Make recommendations on packaging, assortment and distribution of products
  • Assist with the creation of everything from print coupons to online marketing campaigns
Here are some of the things that a first-rate grocery broker can do for a brand:

 They Can Make the Right Connections

 Grocery brokers can spend years maintaining and cultivating relationships with independent retailers and chains. This makes it easier for them to position products and to educate clients on what specific retailers are looking for.

 They Can Do the Footwork

 A food broker can provide support for brands after products make it onto the shelves too. They can track store-level activity, respond to issues quickly, coordinate special events, assist with introducing new items and much more.

 They Can Help Craft a Brand’s Messaging and Marketing Strategies

 A leading grocery broker can help brands connect with the public at large as well. They can work with their clients to develop marketing strategies that meet their specific needs and challenges. Not only that, the very best grocery brokers can:
  • Offer services relating to PR, content creation and publishing
  • Manage engagements on social media and other channels
  • Assist with clients’ SEO and PPC campaigns
  • Provide design and production services for packaging, displays, coupons and more.
They Can Spot New Trends and Opportunities

 The best grocery brokers do not just help clients meet their current goals. They also give their clients the ability to stay ahead of the curve. In other words, they monitor trends and changes in the industry and help clients take advantage of new opportunities.

How Your Niche Food Product Can Compete Against a Brand Giant

Image
Entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses in food retail face an enormous obstacle: established brand giants. Of course, that’s an obstacle faced by small businesses in any market, but it tends to be a larger obstacle for niche food brands. That’s due in part because people tend to be very particular about what they choose to ingest, which can make for extreme brand loyalty. That very personal, very particular concern about what one eats and drinks serves as an extremely powerful motivator to choose the best products on the market. This can mean that over time as different trends and health information come to light that people can be looking for products to potentially replace the brand giant they grew up with or are most familiar with. That provides an “in” from which a shrewd food retailer can carve out a sizable chunk of market share, particularly when partnered with a competent CPG marketing agency.

Is That Hot, New Health Product Worth Investing Your Store’s Money in?

Trends are the name of the game for much of retail merchandising. It’s certainly the case for grocery purchasing (just ask a CPG marketing agency). Trends that are picking up steam can draw mini-rushes of interest and purchases. But in some cases (seemingly overnight) all that stock that had just been flying off the shelves is now relegated to the discount rack. Then there are the products that prove to be steady trends, rather than fleeting fads. They’re the ones that peak, dip, and then plateau—but seldom disappear (like quinoa, smoothie-specific fixings, granola, goat cheese, etc.). This is one of the features that distinguishes a fad from a trend. So how can you know if a trending health product is a long-term draw worthy or early adoption, or a flash-in-the-pan fad destined to fizzle out? Consider the Sources and the Claims The general nutritional information provided by mainstream scientific authorities and organizations usually turns out to be accur

What Does the Grocery Store Dining Experience Mean for the Future of Grocery Retail?

Image
The rise of the internet marketplace has forced every industry to make some adjustments. Grocery retail has certainly not been an exception. Any sales and marketing agency worth its salt would tell the average brick-and-mortar retail business that the key is shifting their business strategy to an outgoing one, and to focus on making products available online. The retail grocery industry, however, isn’t positioned to live largely just online. Rows of fridges and freezers, deli, bakery, and butcher setups require real estate. The only recourse for grocery stores is to bring business to them.    As a result, the industry has seen an upswing in more niche and artisanal grocery stores, increased point of sale convenience, an emphasis on health and transparency, and, significantly, a reimagining of what grocery stores are and provide. There are two key components of that paradigm shift. One is a generally expanding push to control and market more of the food preparation p
