BOCA RATON, Fla., March 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutritional Products International (NPI) will attend the 2019 ECRM Weight Management, Sports Nutrition, Vitamin & Hemp Solutions trade conference March 31-April 3 in Orlando.
The trade show allows NPI's Brian Gould, a 10-year ECRM veteran, to meet with his long-time colleagues, who are some of the most influential buyers in the health and wellness industry.
"We have a close, working relationship with ECRM and the buyers," said Gould, who is president of NPI, a global brand marketing company based in Boca Raton, FL. "The relationship extends beyond the four-day trade show. We are in contact with each other throughout the year."
Gould said this close relationship gives NPI a competitive advantage when introducing new products to the major retailers in the country. "They know us. They trust us. We have a track record with them."
ECRM, which is an acronym for Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing, allows brands to show off their latest product innovation to major retail buyers.
"It is like speed dating for the retail industry," Gould said. "Every 20 minutes we get to promote our clients' products with different major retailers, such as CVS, The Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods Market, GNC, Kinney Drugs, Walgreens, and Wegmans."
Jeff Fernandez, executive vice president of NPI and a longtime veteran buyer at Amazon and WalMart, said ECRM is the perfect setting to introduce new products to the major retailers.
"We have been attending ECRM conferences for more than 10 years. We know many of the buyers for years. We have built up trust with them over the years," Fernandez said. "This is how we can market our clients to the major retailers better than anyone else in the country."
