A Webinar presented by The Food Institute & Miller Zell — August 6, 2009

Featuring

Curt Johnson, SVP Consumer Industries, Miller Zell

Moderated by:

Brian Todd, President, The Food Institute

In the study, Gone in 2.3 Seconds, Miller Zell surveyed 999 shoppers to understand which in-store and out-of-store elements most influence brand perception and purchase behavior. In today’s economic climate, retailers and manufacturers cannot rely on rote routines to motivate shoppers to buy. They must understand the core sensibilities of shoppers and engage them based on their own predispositions.

This webinar will examine the data gathered through that research and provide guidance on how to more effectively target food and beverage shoppers in the grocery and mass channels by using the store as a valuable media.

DATE: August 6, 2009 12 PM Eastern Time

WHERE: Via your Internet connected computer and telephone

LENGTH: One Hour

Who should Attend: Food and beverage retailers, manufacturers, restaurants, suppliers, distributors, consultants to the industry and trade press.
