“With the growing self-care evolution and self-aware consumers taking health into their own hands, there’s a tremendous responsibility on manufacturers and retailers alike to continually innovate, communicate and execute thoughtful go-to-market strategies that consider product positioning, shelf placement, messaging and convenient self-selection,” Wendland said. “At the same time, they must motivate shoppers to make well-informed decisions that drive them to their store or product.”
