July 2022: Sales Channel Issue

$199.00

After the 2020 revolution in channel shifts, 2022 is time to build long-term strategies and  partnerships.

Supplements have appeared recession proof, not just in the health scare of a pandemic but in the great recession of the aughts. There’s less certainty of such stability in the coming recession, however, especially when held against the aggressive pandemic-driven growth rates. The supplement industry may be in for a greater correction period than previously forecasted.

How inflation impacts channel dynamics is explored in Trading Places, page 5, which is part one of a two-part look into the impacts of inflation on the industry. In next month’s Finance Issue, we will continue to explore the impact on the investment space with a probe into interest rates.

In this issue, we also take a close look at the inevitability of Amazon. In Coexist, specialty retailer The Vitamin Shoppe shows how important it is to meet consumers where they are—and Amazon is where they are.

Elsewhere in the issue, we get a brand-centered view into small-volume opportunities with unconventional big retailers and the largest volume opportunity with the nation’s premier big-box retailer
