Welcome to PGMeatretailing.com!
Dear Readers,
With meat department sales comprising as much as 20 percent of the average supermarket’s total sales, the category’s importance cannot be underestimated. For this reason, Progressive Grocer, along with our parent company, Stagnito Media, recently launched a 24/7 digital resource for meat retailing professionals — PGMeatRetailing.com — which will provide the industry with a new, up-to-the-minute resource covering this vital department.
Accessible online at http://www.pgmeatretailing.com, as well as via Progressivegrocer.com, the new meat retailing vertical site reaffirms our commitment to the all-important fresh meat sector, while further illuminating our ongoing mission to inform and enlighten the trade in a variety of ways.
As an ideal complement to our flagship print and online brands, the site will offer visitors access to the latest on-demand information on a variety of critical issues. PGMeatRetailing.com is also integrated with our sister Stagnito Media sites --Progressivegrocer.com, PGstorebrands.com and GourmetRetailer.com -- all of which provide supermarket industry executives a greater range and depth of category and topic-specific news, business intelligence, analysisand new product information.
In addition to latest meat retailing news, inclusive of merchandising, marketing, promotions, sustainability, food safety and best practices, PGmeatretailing.com features sections for Special Features, Online Exclusive content, Expert Columns, a searchable New Product Showcase and relevant articles from our print editions.
To serve on-the-go readers, our new channel also provides a biweekly e-newsletter delivered straight to readers’ inboxes, featuring the latest news and analysis to keep the industry on top of the happenings in the category. Be sure to sign up today at progressivegrocer.com.
Needless to say, we’re extremely pleased to present another important milestone in Progressive Grocer’s expanding platform of integrated media offerings, but we’re not done yet! PGMeatretailing.com will continue to evolve over the weeks and months ahead to incorporate video and other helpful features, alongside other additions and enhancements after a bit more nipping and tucking to customize our new site as the premier destination for meat retailing professionals.
In the interim, we’re grateful for your interest and support, and we hope to count you among PGMeatretailing.com’s frequent visitors in the months and years ahead. In striving to meet your expectations, we welcome suggestions and feedback regarding our new site. What’s on your mind, and what types of stories would you like to see more of? We’d love to hear from you.
May we “meat” again soon!
