Nutraceutical Marketing – Why the Label Matters Most

Nutraceutical marketing is a broad term including dietary supplements, food additives, and other nutrient-enriched products offering health benefits to the user. The benefits could be a specific vitamin or supplement the individual might be missing from their diet. Over the years, this market has exploded as more individuals seek alternative options over the expensive cost of medical care. This interest also increases the competitiveness of product manufacturers in the nutraceutical industry.

Effective nutraceutical labeling is one way to boost product presence in the industry. The more your product stands out, the better the chance of gaining new and repeat customers. It is so easy for an item to get lost among the competition on the shelf. While you cannot always control where an item is placed, measures can be taken to ensure noticeability. Two important trends continue to take place in this industry:

1. A large part of the population is rapidly aging.
2. People are becoming increasingly health conscious.

New products are constantly pouring into the market to meet this ever-growing demand. Take a second to look at the health bar choices in a grocery store and then magnify the overwhelming degree of choices. Regardless of the product type, competition is guaranteed!

Whether you are new to nutraceutical marketing or a seasoned veteran, several approaches can be taken to boost consumer appeal including simple labeling changes. One of the first steps to successful labeling and marketing is becoming familiar with your target market. Take time to evaluate where a product falls within the industry and where it is going. This will help in developing a marketing campaign including logos, product slogans, packing, and labeling combination capable of getting merchandise noticed.

Next, steps must be taken to build up your brand including the right pairing of elements to get it noticed among the many choices on the consumer shelf. The truth is a customers first impression will most likely come from one of four inspirations:

While recognition may come from other locations as well, these are frequently common for learning about a new or existing product. A memorable logo and slogan work great for gaining attention. Incorporating this into a well-designed label will make it easier to attract customers online and in stores.

As the marketing cornerstone of any type of merchandise, the label must not only meet federal guidelines, but also provide a clear message to consumers. It needs to be professional, easy to understand, and designed to peak interest in your target marketing demographic. Consumers want products that have been created using sustainable methods, are environmentally friendly, and offer the healthiest option. A sale is more likely if this message is conveyed by grabbing the consumers attention with this information.
