PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME

P
rivate label builds consumer loyalty, creates a retailer’s image and gives stores a way
to compete with each other. It also generates profits. But not all retailers know how to maximize
the profits that private label can bring. PLMA’s 2014 Roundtable focuses on how some retailers make
money with private label. For them, the answer is rooted in customer relations, packaging, product
selection and sourcing practices. Manufacturers benefit when retailers do it right, too.
Learn which retailer strategies work best, what manufacturers can do to help themselves,
and where consumers fit in. Register today for PLMA’s annual Roundtable Conference and let
the pounds, euros, dollars, krone, tolars and lita add up for you, too.
