WHAT RETAILERS WANT: HOW BRANDS WIN AT RETAIL IN 2027
4:15PM – 5:00PM | $ 85 How are retailers evaluating brands today, and what does it really take to get their attention? As buyers become more selective, strong products alone are no longer enough. Retailers are looking at consumer demand, differentiation, pricing, margins, marketing strength, operational readiness and the ability to drive sustained sell-through.
This panel brings together leading retail decision-makers to share what gets a brand noticed, what makes it retail-ready, the common mistakes brands make when pitching buyers, and what separates brands that simply get on shelf from those that build lasting retail partnerships.
MODERATOR: Andrea Nagel | Chief Content Officer, CEW Selena Cox | Executive Director, Divisional Merchandising Manager – Beauty CVS Health Noah Rosenblatt | President, BEAUTYSPACE
