16.01.2022 Are your retail customers asking for your Nutritional Information Panel & Pack Labelling Data? Consumers are demanding more information about the quality and safety of the food products they purchase so they can make more informed decisions about their purchases. As packaging and labelling legislation starts being enforced, retailers are quickly adapting their eCommerce stores so they can provide their shoppers with a more informative online shopping experience.... Brand Manufacturers and Suppliers need to re-think how they store, manage and syndicate their labelling data. NO LONGER is it possible to manage critical (and legal) product information within spreadsheets scattered across staff computers and network drives. Compounding the problem, these companies also face a myriad of challenges in how they support the additional labelling data across business functions such as; Publishing to GS1 / NPC Data Pools Populating Customer Buying Forms and PIFs Capturing data as part of their New Product Development Supporting Industry Regulations (e.g. Country of Origin, Packaging and Labeling Compliance, Healthcare Standards & Reforms). We've been helping companies to create a sustainable process for the management and syndication of nutritional information and panel data. Meet Data Compliance Requirements for Woolworths, Coles Online and IGA We can help you to collate and publish your NIP and Pack Panel Data to retail customers like Woolworths, Coles Online, Foodstuffs and IGA. rev Branding is a specialist brand marketing agency for brand manufacturers, suppliers, and retail distributors.

15.01.2022 Do you have a Kick-Arse Profile on LinkedIn? I assume that its getting viewed hundreds of times (or more) per year? How active are you on LinkedIn, and are you perhaps missing sales or perhaps job opportunities?... Anyone who works within a professional environment NEEDS to have a quality AND current profile on the LinkedIn network. Did you know? 91% of Australian executives rate LinkedIn as their first choice for professionally relevant content. Around 45% of LinkedIn content consumers are in upper-level positions (managers, VPs, Directors, and C-level). If you’re an active user, your profile views could be in the hundreds EVERY MONTH? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of potential leads that could take your business to the next level or that perfect job opportunity; and it’s all driven from your LinkedIn profile. Is your LinkedIn profile up-to-date? You can tell who is viewing your profile, right? So, how many people have reached out to you after they’ve viewed your profile? If it’s been a while, it means your profile doesn’t connect with your audience and is probably incorrectly positioning you. In most cases, anyone visiting your profile does a quick 3-second scan. In that small moment, you MUST grab their attention and leave an impression. Over the next month, I will be publishing a complete LinkedIn Engagement Series that will show you how to use LinkedIn the RIGHT way to promote your brand and be a platform that you can use for business development. I am beginning with today’s topic How to Create a Kick-Arse LinkedIn Profile with a LinkedIn Profile Makeover! LinkedIn is not just an online business connection platform. It’s become the world’s leading business platform because of the investment they have made in LinkedIn Recruitment, LinkedIn Learning, Professional Groups, Sales Navigator, and most importantly, its exceptional online SEO capability. B2B Marketers globally prefer to use LinkedIn over Facebook because 80% of B2B sales leads come from this network. LinkedIn messages have a 300% higher response rate than traditional email BUT, unless you have a quality LinkedIn profile, they don’t contact you Now we are right back where we started with this post?
