For emerging brands, having a comprehensive food safety management plan is not only essential for compliance, but also for building trust with retailers and consumers. Brands on RangeMe have the opportunity to highlight their food safety plans by indicating the specific certifications they have obtained on their brand profile page. In his recent column, SQF Institute's Jonathan (Jon) Lackie highlights 5 key reasons why emerging brands should have a food safety plan in place. They are: 1. Building buyer confidence 2. Ensuring compliance and reducing risk 3. Protecting your brand from costly recalls 4. Creating a competitive advantage 5. Supporting long-term growth Read the column below for more details on each of these points, as well as information on how to get your food safety management plan in place! By the way, this is the first of a series of columns Jonathan will be contributing on the topic, which will include case studies on brands that saw business at retail because of the confidence instilled among buyers from their comprehensive food safety initiatives! #foodsafety #food #sqf #retail #ecrmrangeme Margaret Core, CAE Koo Hwangbo FMI- The Food Industry Association

For all of you RangeMe beauty brands participating in ECRM's upcoming Everyday and Holiday Cosmetics, Skin, Fragrance & Bath Session - here's a tip on how to CRUSH your buyer meetings from someone who has had a TON of success! Chithra Kannan, is the Founder of Skin Centrick, who has landed 9 RETAIL DEALS IN JUST ONE YEAR from meetings that have come from connections on RangeMe, as well as from meetings with buyers at the RangeMe Discovery Hub at ECRM's Beauty Sessions. She has developed a simple yet effective formula for a 10-minute buyer meeting that has worked wonders for her business. It breaks down like this: - 30 seconds setting the stage - 2 minutes pitching her brand in terms of the buyer's needs and objectives (based on the information ECRM provides on its prep site as well as her own research). - 2 minutes of the buyer elaborating on his or her needs based on the pitch. - 5 minutes of discussion and next steps Chithra started off as a RangeMe Live participant at ECRM's Indie Brands - Beauty and Personal Care Session the month she launched the company, and her three meetings were so successful that she participated in several more Sessions, and will be at ECRM's Everyday and Holiday Cosmetics, Skin, Fragrance & Bath Session this coming January. This clip is from our full interview, a video of which you can find in the blog post about her brand (see the comments for the link). The blog offers great summary of the discussion, but the full video interview is definitely worth the listen, as Chithra takes a deep dive into her company, her approach to product development, and how she leverages both RangeMe and ECRM to grow her distribution. #beauty #womenowned #smallbusiness #retail #ecrmrangeme Sarah Davidson Craig C.
