--Company Update-- MicroSalt® UK announce its first strategy objectives as a London-listed company Strategy Highlights:   ·    MicroSalt is sufficiently capitalised and well-positioned to pursue immediate opportunities in its B2B and B2C.   ·    The Board believe nearer term profitable growth will primarily be driven by its B2B business. In 2024, the Company will continue to prioritise conversion of current B2B customer trials into commercial volume orders, expanding current product line sales across to other product lines and to establish new potential B2B partners to reformulate their product ingredients using MicroSalt technology to reduce sodium content.   ·    Having secured commercial orders from Customer B, the Mexican business of one of the world's largest food, soft drink and snack manufacturers, and Customer A, a national Fortune-500 pharmacy / food retailer, for use in their crisp and salted nuts lines, the Board see a clear path to sales growth in its higher volume B2B business. The Company expects to announce new orders and new customers, primarily based in the US, in the coming period.   ·    MicroSalt is in early-stage discussions with three of the largest UK supermarkets to use MicroSalt technology in their own-label products, as well as suppliers of ready-meals and a fast food burger company.   ·    MicroSalt plans to attend at least 12 food shows globally, including international events in Frankfurt, Paris, Shanghai, Dubai, and Stockholm.   ·    In addition to over 1,000 US and Filipino outlets stocking MicroSalt salt shakers, the Company will maintain its global expansion, aiming to make B2C products available in more top-tier retail stores, and in new territories.   ·    To manage expected growing order volumes, the Company will continuously monitor and expand as appropriate its global distribution and logistics network of third party manufacturing facilities, storage hubs, and transportation routes. In the longer term, the Board may determine it appropriate to build and manufacture some of its required volumes inhouse.   ·    The Company is encouraged by global regulatory agendas supporting reduced sodium consumption and will seek to engage constructively with authorities and policymakers.   ·    Through MicroSalt's marketing and sales strategy, the Company will continue to educate consumers on the health benefits of lowering sodium consumption, and communicate to the food manufacturing industry the commercial benefits of reformulating products with MicroSalt's low sodium technology. https://lnkd.in/d3hwWaEy === Cc Tim Thompson #SALT

2024 European Private Label Awards organized by ESM - European Supermarket Magazine brings some mind blowing product ideas full of colors and excitement. Artichokes stuffed with Tuna, Buckwheat biscuits, Tiramisu Fresco, Lactose free quark bars, Tagliatelle Porcini… Clear indication about state of private label. That much about private label just benchmarking brands… What a list of products and richness of ideas, flavours and experiences…! At the core of this is also something very important - take a look at the list of manufacturers. Most of them are independent or alternative producers, some of them barely known but what all of them seem to have in common is customer first mindset! Models built around the customer differentiate from models built around brand! This is what makes the difference. #retaildemocratization

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SATISFYING CUSTOMER MISSIONS In my opinion, Weetabix has the best portfolio/pack strategy of any manufacturer. Why? Their customers will typically eat 1, 2 or 3 Weetabix per serving. There may even be some customers who will have four, but I doubt there are many. There are five different sizes of Weetabix packs: 12, 24, 36, 48 & 72. Each pack size is perfectly divisible by ALL of the most common serving sizes. For example, a 36 pack contains 36 x 1 biscuit serving 18 x 2 biscuit servings 12 x 3 biscuit servings 9 x 4 biscuit servings This scales up or down perfectly for every pack size. They apply this serving math to their brand extensions, which are all focused on what their customers consume their products with. Weetabix knows what customers typically consume with their cereal, so they have simply added it. As a result you can get Weetabix Banana, Syrup, Chocolate and Protein. Weetabix also spotted that many of their customers skip breakfast due to travel and other commitments, so they created an 'On the Go' drink. Key to this strategy is clearly understanding their consumer and customer's key needs and missions and then working to satisfy them. The cereal biscuit may not be the most exciting product on earth, but what Weetabix have done is made it easy to consume, easy to buy, convenient and relevant, then worked to remove obstacles that prevent regular consumption. For anyone looking for a role-model pack/portfolio strategy, Weetabix is a great example. #digitalcommerce #ecommerce #cpg #cpgindustry #fmcg #fmcgindustry #cereal #portfolio #portfoliomanagement #packstrategy #pack

The finding that jumps out at me from the research from which this article was written, is that 70% of consumers prefer to buy 2 litres. The outright favourite. Why? Because value for money and you can easily share (pooling money will get you more quantity). After reading GG Alcock Kasinomics book a few years back, I came to understand the importance of packaging in the mass market. Whether it's producing cheese slices instead of blocks, so that vetkoek vendors can process orders faster in a more viable way, or offering soft drinks in larger sizes and give a volume discount, it is vital to understand what your consumer will prefer and why! https://lnkd.in/d35hZW8W
