Special Report: Annual Niche Brands/Brokers Report
It wasn¹t too long ago that SKU rationalization became commonplace, as many retailers attempted a course correction toward more profitable sets -- establishing performance metrics that possibly favored bigger brands and their store-brand equivalents over slower-moving and slower-building brands. In other words, niche products. But now retailers are acknowledging they may have cut too much, opening a pathway of opportunity for many suppliers, especially those of promising niche brands. And as the industry juggles the impact of a weak economy, ongoing consolidation and SKU rationalization, there¹s no doubt that the role of the broker, or sales and marketing consultant, is changing and growing increasingly vital to niche brands and even retailers. In light of this, several industry players are embarking on new paths and initiatives to help smaller manufacturers and retailers succeed in this challenging environment. In this report, Drug Store News gives you an in-depth look at the niche market, the brokers vital to the industry and numerous notable niche brands on store shelves.

That is the way that Drug Store News defines retail pharmacy in 2010. In the pages of this year's Annual Report, Drug Store News¹ editors profile the Top 50 pharmacy retailers in America, measuring all of these very different companies by the one metric that matters - pharmacy sales - and the relative commitment of senior management to pharmacy, health and wellness.

Growing Market Share
The economic downturn has dramatically altered the retail landscape, with the changes opening up new opportunities to grow market share in the process.

A new Chain Store Age/Leo J. Shapiro and Associates national study of 806 consumers examines the changes in shopping behavior wrought by the recession and how retailers can capitalize on these shifts to grow market share.

The study looks into how and why retail market shares are changing. Find out:

• Changes in where shopping dollars are being spent since the downturn

• Impact of store closings on

• Factors that influence the choice of a new store

• Factors that drive overall change in spending strategy

• Expectations regarding more shopping changes in the year ahead


The study makes clear that retailers who are waiting out the recession with the hope of resuming business as usual when the economy improves are likely to be disappointed.

It provides key insights as to how retailers should position themselves now to succeed.

The Annual Niche Brands/Broker Report
The value of niche is in the customer that a niche manufacturer brings through the door. Sometimes it’s measured in incremental opportunity, such as a prophylactic acne offering among a sea of acne treatments. And sometimes it’s measured in what happens if that niche brand is not on the shelf, driving the customer to another retail outlet. That value doesn’t change in a tough economy, but the factors that establish whether or not a niche manufacturer ever gets to the shelf, and stays on that shelf, do. There are two significant challenges for niche in today’s economic climate — SKU rationalization and the availability of capital. Click here to download Free PDF
