Webinar: Prepping for the Big Buyer Meeting

An opportunity to impress buyers at the next level doesn’t come around all the time. You’ve got high-quality food products that people love, and you’ve already reached a level of scale and operational excellence working with small retailers. And now you’re ready for a great opportunity to meet with a big-box retailer – but are you really prepared?

Hear from CPG packaging expert Skidmore Studio on how to get the most out of your big meeting. This 30-minute presentation targeted to food businesses, followed by Q and A will be held live on Zoom on April 14th at 10am. Skidmore Studio will discuss how to make sure you understand your retail buyer and show them how you’re taking care of their customer, ensure your packaging is a fit for the target shopper, and guarantee your brand is memorable.

This no-cost session is hosted by PMBC and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, in preparation for the Making It In Michigan event. Anyone interested is welcome to attend this event.
