PLMA’s Annual Meeting & Leadership Conference
Store Brands and Tomorrow’s Consumers hether you want to admit it or not, tomorrow’s consumers will be dramatically different than what we are used to. It starts with the demographics. Under 30’s will be 40% of the population by 2015. That means smart phone and apps, lots and lots of apps. Then there will be the ethnic mix with Spanishspeaking consumers accounting for 17% by 2020 and substantial increases for people from India and Asia. On the other end of the age spectrum, Baby Boomers will dominate with needs for products and services unique to them. Next come store formats – both bricks-and-mortar and online – as well as target marketing through social media. It’s hard to fathom all the changes at one time. There will be opportunities for those who envision them and problems for those who cannot.
W
PLMA’s 2011 Annual Meeting and Leadership Conference examines these issues. How will your private label products and programs measure up to tomorrow’s demands and what will you have to do to be competitive. PLMA will also take a serious look at sustainability. Is it more than a catchy phrase? How do you apply sustainability to your company? Mark your calendar – or perhaps we should say send it to your Blackberry® or iPhone®. Conference registration is now open.
