Alternatives to Retail with Elliot Begoun, the Intertwine Group

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Retail is crowded, can be expensive, and is often a difficult place to gain trial and repeat purchases. There’s a commonly held belief that it is the best and often only true path in which to build a food or beverage brand. In this workshop, we will discuss why, in many cases, that’s just not true.
Matching a brand and its products with the optimal channel is critical to the acceleration of growth. We will explore alternative channels such as noncommercial (corporate feeders, stadiums, airports, etc.), small format (c-store, drug, dollar) and foodservice.
Further, we will provide an overview of the key elements of the route-to-market and go-to-market strategies that support these channels. This includes a review of their distribution modes, sales requirements and promotional opportunities.
The key takeaways from this workshop will be an awareness of the alternatives to retail, and an understanding of the key elements and requirements of those alternatives.
