New Publication for Food Retail Industry

ACNielsen U.S. and The Lempert Report, in conjunction with the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), has announced the launch of Facts, Figures & The Future, a monthly e-publication that provides food retailers with a comprehensive review and analysis of consumer trends, their impact on the retail environment, and future thinking.

Each e-publication contains approximately 10 reports that include easy-to understand charts, explaining the impact of consumer trends to food retailers. 'The Food Marketing Institute is excited to offer our members new consumer insights through this Internet-based newsletter,' said Michael Sansolo, senior vice president of The Food Marketing Institute. 'FMI members can use this information to better understand consumer trends, which will help them better serve their shoppers.'

'Drawing from the depth and breadth of our consumer information services and the integrated capabilities of the entire VNU organization, ACNielsen is sharing both rich content and insights,' said Tim Callahan, president, ACNielsen US. 'Facts Figures & The Future provides retailers with a 360° view of consumer attitudes and behaviour.'

Consumer trends expert Phil Lempert is editor of Facts, Figures & The Future. ACNielsen supplies information and analysis from its resources including the Homescan consumer panel and the ACNielsen Consumer PreView service. These services monitor consumer attitudes and behaviour, and analyse their impact on current and future purchasing of non-durables such as groceries and health & beauty items.

The first Facts, Figures & The Future issue includes information about:

• The 'store within a store' concept;
  
• The impact Dollar stores are having on other retailers;
  
• The unique needs of Hispanic shoppers;
  
• Information about the new federal organic regulations and consumer interest in organics; and
  
• The latest trends on where consumers shop.
