Top tips from a med spa team for summer beauty and care! 👀 ☀️ Take care of your face. Use a hydrating moisturizer 2x a day and incorporate a scrub weekly to remove dead skin and excess oils. ☀️ Add Vitamin C and E into your diet to minimize potential risk for sunburn. ☀️ Go minimal on makeup. The summer is hot and humid, and makeup can cause breakouts. Opt for a tinted SPF instead. ☀️ Hydrate. Drink LOTS of water and use moisturizing products. ☀️ Don't forget about your hair. Stick to hydrating hair care, don't over wash, and consider an SPF spray to protect from sun damage. Stock up on all of your favorite organic products for the summer at glimmergoddess.com.

Meet the Team Monday! We are starting with our fearless leader James Pippin! How long have you been in the CPG world? My first job in the CPG world was in sales and marketing at New Belgium Brewery in 2002! I had never had a beer before (at 23!), and when I got into the second round interview, I decided to get a pizza and a six pack of fat tire to figure out what I was getting myself into. Since then, I've worked in multiple startups, one that hit $54M in revenue before it was sold (I was personally responsible for $18M), as well as vending, grocery checkout systems and technology, wine, and more. What's your area of expertise and territories you manage? Whole Foods is my main account, but I also work on regional accounts with Beth in Washington and Oregon. What's a brand you wish you repped and why? I already get to represent a bunch of my favorites, but I do love a great paella or risotto so the ANETO NATURAL line of broths and the Matiz canned seafood come to mind. In beverage, I'm a pretty avid Humm Kombucha drinker, and no evening is complete without a little cheese tray at our home and Rogue River Blue Cheese often is a feature! Piece of advice you would give brands? Plan to succeed incrementally and find the enjoyment and passion in your work. Build your connections with consumers and retailers one at a time, and put your full heart into each. They will feel it, the market will feel it, and pretty soon people will be coming to you. Favorite Grocery Store to shop? Hard to pick a favorite, but I love Top of the Hill in Renton, a local produce forward grocer that runs great promotions, has terrific produce and meat, and a smaller footprint. PCC, Lazy Acres Natural Market, the West Hollywood Pavilions, Bellingham Coop, and Huckleberry's in Spokane all make the list too! When you're not working what do you enjoy doing? Raising a hilarious son, 6 chickens, growing herbs and vegetables in our urban garden, and woodworking! #meettheteam #teamleader #founder #sales #cpg #cpgleader #foodandbeverage

We're giving a presentation on our Sprints today and we came up with this restaurant analogy that I think works perfectly. Brand Concept - Personal chef Sprint - Tasting menu at a nice restaurant Brand Consultation - Sweetgreen To break it down: 1. The personal chef understands you and your needs deeply and wholly. Everything is customized to your liking. 2. The tasting menu means that you trust the chef to make something you like. You might not get to pick everything but you feel taken care of. 3. The sweetgreen option solves your hunger right now. You know the ingredients are good and fresh but there's very little customization that you can request. Sweetgreen doesn't own the recipe for the salads and you can make one at home but it just isn't quite the same. These are also good indicators to find out what your clients budget is looking like. A lot of people are on a Sweetgreen budget looking for a personal chef.

Is your brand BLAH? Maybe it’s been 5/10/15 years since you reinvigorated your brand essence. They say, "You eat with your eyes first," and the same goes for branding. This means the visual components of your restaurant’s brand identity, which include the logo, colors, and typography, should be appetizing to the eye as your cuisine is to the palate. These elements need to work harmoniously to convey the overall ambiance and theme of your restaurant.

Cherryh Cansler Fast Casual writes - "The Pickle Pad, which recently signed a franchise deal to open in Phoenix, is seeking more franchisees to help grow its footprint throughout the U.S., specifically in the Southeast and Midwest regions." Former Tropical Smoothie Cafe CEO Mike Rotondo hasn't exactly traded in smoothies for pickles, but the 20-year fast casual veteran is now overseeing The Pickle Pad, aFfranchised "entertainment" concept in Tallahassee launched in June by Indoor Active Brands. Created by NRD Capital, it also owns Altitude Trampoline Parks, an 83-unit chain of trampoline parks offering jumping courts, dodgeball courts and Ninja warrior courses. "I love brands that are "better for you," Rotondo said in an email interview with FastCasual. "What's better than being able to get in some great cardio playing pickleball and then in the same place being able to get something to eat or drink that supports what you just did versus working against it?" The 27,000-square-foot facility offers an indoor pickleball playground and 20 other yard games, including dominoes and Jenga, and features Crave Social Eatery, a chef-inspired menu geared toward light, fresh food. Beer, wine and drinks are also available, and guests may have a full-service experience inside the restaurant or choose a more fast casual experience by ordering via kiosks and eating courtside. "Our focus is on building the ultimate destination for outrageous pickleball fun in Tallahassee and nationwide as we expand," said Rotondo, who was previously CEO of Edible Arrangements Arrangements and also worked for Arby's and Honeybaked Ham. "Participating in sports like pickleball is a method to connect with friends for an engaging activity, which is why I think the field is experiencing consistent growth. Unlike any other indoor sports venue, this destination has a laid-back vibe and comfortable setting where it does not matter if you are 'pickling' or not." Rotondo said The Pickle Pad, which recently signed a franchise deal to open in Phoenix, is seeking more franchisees to help grow its footprint throughout the U.S., specifically in the Southeast and Midwest region. Costs range from $1,330,000 to $1,987,500. Although expansion is not limited to cities with Altitude Trampoline Parks, Rotondo would like to leverage the partnership. "They could technically be next-door neighbors, how cool would that be? We are aiming to expand across the nation to bring social gaming to all," he said. Rotondo said The Pickle Pad is a place where friends, co-workers and family can gather to socialize, compete, exercise and dine. "As a part of Indoor Active Brands, The Pickle Pad leverages years of experience in the family entertainment and restaurant industries to provide unmatched he said...Clickthhru to read more." https://lnkd.in/dBep3d4r

Functional drinks are one of the biggest trends in F&B in 2024 📈 Consumers are increasingly looking for drinks that do more than act as an alcohol alternative or form of pure hydration. ❌ Forget friends with benefits. ✅ We want bevs with benefits.

We’re at least addressing two of those concerns: - Our drinks our low-calorie ⁠- Our flavours are ALL NATURAL and FREE FROM SWEETENERS - We’ve got options with prebiotic fibre, live cultures, and CBD If you wanna give the people what they want - you know where to find us: 💌 sales@drinkhippop.com

For busy dispensaries, revenue is limited by the number of customers you move through your store each day. 🌱 The more transactions you process, the more money you make. 🤑 It’s as simple as that. The risk is your wait times — too long and customers will go elsewhere. ⏳ By speeding up transaction time, called throughput, you can increase sales and profits. But the additional benefit is customer satisfaction. 😊 If you can run a quicker sales process, while still answering all questions and guiding them toward the best cannabis products for their needs, everyone wins. How can you speed up transaction time without sacrificing service?  With technology. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dRXfFEY6
