MarketPlace to Bring Consumer and Pet Insights to SupplySide West Tradeshow
MarketPlace, a full-service branding firm focused on ingredient, food, beverage and supplement brands, will share insights on the convergence of the human and pet supplement categories at the upcoming SupplySide West trade show.
MarketPlace produces an annual report on US pet supplement consumers, tracking where they’re shopping for pet goods, what specific benefits and ingredients they’re shopping for, what they’re spending and more. The findings are the result of MarketPlace’s three-years-running exclusive primary research study.
“SupplySide West featuring pet programming this year is an indicator of the massive potential of this category, as it’s historically been a human-focused show,” MarketPlace’s Account Strategy Director Jim Hibsch said. “People are truly thinking of their pets’ health in the same way they’re thinking of their own, and that means that supplements are increasingly becoming a part of the regimen.”
Hibsch will unveil insights from the report during a panel on the SupplySide Stage titled, “Pet Supplementation Unleashed: Fetching the latest insights for optimal pet health and well-being,” from 12 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. PST on Thursday, Oct. 26 in booth 5670. SierraSil President Michael Bentley and National Animal Supplement Council President Bill Bookout will join Hibsch on the panel.
“Human supplement ingredient brands should consider whether there’s an untapped market for their ingredients in the pet category,” MarketPlace President Tracy Landau said. “Our research makes this potential clear and is a big part of our commitment to keep our partners on the pulse of opportunities in the nutrition and supplement industries. We encourage any human brands looking to strategically enter the pet category to visit our booth.”
MarketPlace will also be exhibiting at booth 4015 to discuss brand, business and product launch strategies for B2B ingredient and B2C functional food and beverage and supplement brands.
“We create better brands for healthier, happier people and pets,” Landau said. “SupplySide West is where we’ve made strategic connections that have persisted through our entire firm’s life. Whether you’re launching an ingredient on Amazon or ideating a new product launch, we love the opportunity to meet with our current and potential partners at this show to set them on a new path of growth.”
