Getting more Alberta products on the shelf

“Success for many in the food and beverage industry includes getting your products on the shelf in retail,” says Margurite Thiessen, business development officer with the Alberta government. “A great product is only part of what is required. Food processors need to understand what retailers are looking for and what they will be doing to create demand and deliver the sales required to stay on the shelf.”

An upcoming webinar, Getting More Alberta Products on the Shelf, features keynote speaker Peter Chapman, SKU Foods, who will provide an overview of what is happening in food and beverage with a focus on Alberta products and how to price products and the promotion plan required to get on the shelf.

“Peter will break down some of the strategies to price your products and the costs relative to trade and marketing spend. Learn about your trade spend investing with retailers and your marketing spend connecting with consumers. You will also hear about growing your baseline and take away tools to help build your promotion plans.”
