Mitch Gould, Nutritional Products International Founder & CEO, Builds Successful Formula For Launching Sport Nutrition, Health & Wellness Brands on Amazon 

In an era where online shopping has become an integral part of daily life, Nutritional Products International (NPI) has pioneered a proven approach for health, wellness, and sports nutrition companies to launch their products in the United States. 

With the rise of e-commerce sales projected to grow by nearly 11 percent between 2023 and 2027 according to Statista, NPI has capitalized on this trend by offering a unique platform to facilitate the distribution and promotion of products in the U.S. market, specifically on Amazon.

Mitch Gould, Founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International, recognized the need for international brands to navigate the complex U.S. market successfully. “There are many companies with viable products, but they don’t have the experience or knowledge to penetrate the U.S. market,” explained Gould. “With my ‘Evolution of Distribution’ platform, NPI has built the perfect pathway to reach the marketplace, including Amazon. In essence, we become their national headquarters in the U.S.”

Gould worked with Amazon when the online giant first added its health, wellness, and sports nutrition category. “Amazon is the perfect launch pad for brands that leads into successful penetration of brick and mortar,” Gould continued.

“We keep track of what retailers and product manufacturers are doing. This enables us to give our clients proper guidance. I have streamlined the product launch process to make it affordable,” he added. “Years ago, I saw product manufacturers, especially international companies, spend an exorbitant amount of money when rolling out a new product, which decreased their profit margins.”

Gould helped add to Amazon’s bottom line in the mid-2000s when the online giant started its health, wellness, and sports nutrition categories. “I had contacts in the sports nutrition industry,” Gould said.

With NPI’s unparalleled industry knowledge and strategic approach, international brands can now confidently navigate the U.S. market and achieve significant growth in the sport nutrition, health, and wellness categories.

Mitch Gould of Nutritional Products International Forecasts Positive Future For Retail Market and Consumers 

In a rapidly changing retail landscape, Mitch Gould, the CEO of Nutritional Products International, offers an optimistic outlook for the American retail industry in 2023. 

Embracing the shifting consumer demands and leveraging the resilience developed during recent challenging times, Gould predicts a bright future for retailers and consumers alike.

Despite concerns about turbulent times and rising inflation, Gould highlights the valuable lessons learned by retailers in adapting to unprecedented demand fluctuations during the pandemic. These experiences have prompted retailers to adopt more flexible operations and prioritize effective analytics and tools to enhance customer loyalty.

According to a survey conducted by Deloitte that shares insights from 50 industry leaders, the results offer a unique perspective on how market conditions, future predictions, and changing consumer needs are informing strategies for success in 2023 and beyond.

The survey identifies three key trends and priorities that retailers should focus on to maximize growth and profitability: supply chain optimization, omnichannel integration, and digital transformation.

Supply chain optimization, particularly last-mile capabilities, emerges as a crucial area of emphasis for retailers. By streamlining order fulfillment and expanding same-day and next-day services, retailers can ensure a seamless experience for consumers while driving efficiencies and reducing costs.

To capitalize on every opportunity for sales and customer satisfaction, retailers should prioritize omnichannel integration and reverse logistics. The survey highlights the importance of in-store return capabilities, which not only provide immediate credit to customers but also reduce expenses associated with mailed returns. 

Gould feels that the findings outlined above aligns with the mission of Nutritional Products International (NPI) and his proprietary “Evolution of Distribution (EoD).

Digital transformation, specifically social commerce, is another area where retailers can thrive. By investing in technologies that enable seamless purchasing experiences within social media channels, retailers can reinforce customer loyalty and reduce the cost of acquiring new customers.

Mitch Gould concludes, “The American retail industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of constant change. By embracing evolving consumer demands and investing in supply chain optimization, omnichannel integration, and digital transformation, retailers can navigate the challenges of 2023 with confidence and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
