ORGANA International Leverages ECRM Meetings to Drive U.S. Retail Expansion

Natural wellness company ORGANA International is moving forward with plans to expand its presence in U.S. retail following its participation in the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session, held Sept. 14-17 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The company used the meetings to introduce retail buyers to its nearly three decades in the natural wellness market, its expanding product portfolio, and its approach to developing products and merchandising concepts specifically for retail environments.

"ECRM provides an opportunity to introduce retailers to ORGANA and learn more about what they're looking for in their categories," said Larry Mills, CEO of ORGANA International. "The conversations and feedback from these meetings give us valuable perspective as we continue working to expand the ORGANA brand across the U.S. retail market."

A key focus of ORGANA's ECRM participation was its new Mineral Shots, packaged in a point-of-purchase display designed to give retailers a ready-to-merchandise format for counters, shelves, and high-traffic locations. The display served as a tangible example of how ORGANA is considering packaging, presentation, store placement, and merchandising as part of its retail strategy.

"Retail expansion involves more than simply having the right products," Mills said. "Packaging, presentation, merchandising and how a product fits within a retailer's assortment are all part of the conversation. That's an important perspective for us as we continue developing our retail strategy."

ORGANA also highlighted a broader portfolio that includes Fulvic Acid Trace Mineral Drink, Liquid Oxygen, Essiac Tea, magnesium creams, and other natural wellness products. Founded in 1997, the company has continued to expand its offerings as the natural wellness marketplace has evolved, giving it the ability to pursue retail opportunities with a diverse portfolio rather than relying on a single product or category.

"We've been building ORGANA for nearly 30 years, and we're still learning and evolving," Mills said. "The feedback that comes from conversations with retailers is part of that process. It's about continuing to refine our approach and looking for the right opportunities for ORGANA."

ORGANA products are already available nationwide through Amazon and OneLavi, providing the company with an established U.S. online retail presence. The company's participation in ECRM represents another step in its strategy to introduce ORGANA to additional retail channels and build awareness of the brand and its product portfolio within the retail community.

"ECRM was a valuable opportunity for ORGANA to continue building its presence within the U.S. retail marketplace," Mills added. "We'll take the insights and feedback from those meetings and use them as we continue moving our retail strategy forward."

Consumers can explore and purchase ORGANA products through the company's Amazon storefront and on OneLavi.com. To learn more about the company's wellness philosophy visit organa.net.
