Chris Rogers, Chief Business Officer at Instacart said “We know that driving distribution in more stores is a significant challenge for emerging brands. They’re working hard to break into a crowded industry, from attending trade shows to cold-calling retailers. Meanwhile, retail category teams are sifting through thousands of new products to find the right fit for their business and customers. The process is still fairly manual and time-consuming for everyone involved. Instacart is well positioned to connect innovative brands with retailers looking to expand their selection, empowering everyone with easy-to-access insights directly within Instacart’s self-serve technology. Today’s announcement furthers our investment in emerging brands’ success, and our commitment to streamline grocery operations for retailers online and in-store.”.

This tool simplifies the search and discovery process, connecting retailers with a plethora of innovative and emerging brands on Instacart’s platform.
Specifically designed to address the challenges faced by emerging brands, Instacart’s digital sell sheets empower these brands to effectively highlight their successes and unique selling points.
