Highlights

Another difficult year ahead with stronger growth in Q2 but entirely driven by inflation. Even with soft comparatives growth is set to be weak and continue to be so. Retailers are going to have to work much harder to win share of consumer spending.

Easing food inflation depresses growth, due to falling commodity prices and fewer seasonal fluctuations.

Launch a New Product on Twitter - Inc.com

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 01:51 AM PDT

While Facebook is good for building long-term customer relationships, businesses are finding that Twitter can be great for quickly building momentum for, say, a new store location or product. Here are tips on how to jump-start a new launch in 140 characters or less.



Until last year, NAP, Inc.'s best known product line was its Sleepy Wrap baby carrier. But when the company launched the Boba Baby Carrier last year, it focused its efforts on social media, especially Twitter. "Prior to that, we were just using traditional online and print advertising," says Ashley Jewell, director of social media marketing for NAP. "We went from having one follower to selling out our whole inventory in a matter of weeks."

NAP's experience shows what some marketing experts already know: Twitter is an incredibly powerful tool for creating buzz and an ideal way to get customers' attention for a new product, service, company, or location. "Twitter today has 100 million active users, and 100,000 new users per day. That's an astonishing shift from something that used to be a niche outpost," notes Dallas Lawrence, managing director for Burson-Marsteller's Proof Integrated Communications agency.

And, he says, Twitter continues to evolve. "In the last six months, we've witnessed dramatic maturation for Twitter. It's grown from a platform driven by press releases to a true social platform that values information sharing and transparent corporate leadership."

So how do you make the best use of Twitter's astounding power to reach your customers?

Use your peacetime wisely

This motto comes from Lawrence's expertise in crisis communications, but it applies just as well to product launches and other big announcements. The point is that the launch of your new product or service should not be the first time your Twitter followers hear from you. Instead, use the quiet time before the product launch to begin tweeting regularly and develop an identity. "Before asking anything of users online, companies need to build credibility that they are committed to a sustained dialogue," Lawrence says.

How do you do that? "Listen before speaking. That's probably more important in the Twittersphere than any other social media platform," Lawrence says. This means re-tweeting useful or interesting information, paying attention to anything being said about your company or brand, and immediately responding to any problems, complaints, or questions anyone has about it.

You should also seek to provide interesting information that relates to your product or industry -- or your community. "Your dialogue has to provide value," Lawrence says. "Even if you're a pizza shop, you can use your Twitter account to highlight good things local charities are doing or even a local Boy Scout Troop.

Make Twitter your testing ground

"I really don't think I would have an online magazine if it weren't for Twitter," says Alexis Wolfer, founder and editor-in-chief of TheBeautyBean.com, an online beauty and health magazine for women that gets about 20,000 unique visitors per month. "I was working in an editorial job part-time and finishing graduate school and I wrote my thesis on women's magazines and their influence on body image," she explains. "And I started posting health, beauty, and nutrition tips on Twitter. They were much like what women's magazines would provide, except I took out all the focus on weight loss. It was all about healthy living, and in one month I had 1,000 followers."

Wolfer had already thought about starting an online magazine offering health and beauty tips without weight loss advice. "Had I not received the Twitter response that I did, it would have been much slower to develop. But the response I got from Twitter in particular made me feel there were other women out there looking for healthy living information."

Wolfer, who launched TheBeautyBean.com this past January, more recently used Twitter to try out a new idea, Makeup Free Mondays, which started as a tradition around TheBeautyBean's office. "It was in line with our online message to promote inner beauty while still being glamorous and a place for women to get their beauty and fashion fix," Wolfer says. "We started tweeting about it, and we had a ton of people retweet about it." Responses came in from around the globe. And when TheBeautyBean officially launched Makeup Free Mondays as an online movement in May, it drew a lot of attention from celebrities and the media. "We asked people to send pictures of themselves without makeup, and our inbox was flooded," Wolfer says.

Connect with influencers who can help you

For every product, industry or topic, there are influential Twitter users whose tweeting about your new product can make a big difference, either because they have a large number of followers, or highly influential followers, represent your biggest customers (such as a retail chain that might carry your product) or write an influential blog. "Start with the top 200 people you want to engage with," Lawrence advises. "If you follow them, by and large you will follow you back, which says they are willing to be engaged in a dialogue."

This is not the time to start a "one-way marketing push," he cautions. Instead, begin a dialogue, and offer something of value, such as a free sample of your product for the influencers to try out or an exclusive discount they can share with their followers or blog readers. You can also use invite these influencers to judge contests and host "tweetups" or other events. "We're doing a Twitter party for Sleepy Wrap, and we have a mom blogger who's posted about it on her blog and invited people to RSVP. When they do, they're given the details on the time and hashtag for the party," Jewell says. The blogger will also select party attendees to receive some giveaway items that NAP is providing.

Think beyond Twitter

Twitter, though very powerful, is very limiting, with no opportunity to advertise (at least for the moment), no way to directly incorporate photos or videos and, of course, a draconian 140-character limit. So Lawrence recommends a multi-pronged approach that gives you several possible points of contact with customers. He particular likes directing them to Facebook, where you can have tie-in advertising, images and video integrated right into the platform, and can write longer posts.

Jewell, on the other hand, likes using Twitter as a central place from which to leak new designs or new product news, and otherwise connect with customers. But customers are also encouraged to "like" NAP's product lines on Facebook, and, like Lawrence, she recommends a multi-pronged approach that also includes both Facebook and Twitter.

Either way, Wolfer says, using Twitter to connect with customers is so easy it doesn't make sense not to do it. "Most small business owners I've met have smartphones that have Twitter capabilities. It doesn't take much time to write 140 characters. If you've got a few minutes to kill before a meeting, why not? It can only help."

Why exercise? Health trumps beauty, poll shows - StarPhoenix

Posted: 20 Jun 2010 08:58 PM PDT

NEW YORK - If you look upon fitness addicts as shallow narcissists suffering grimly for the body beautiful, it may be time to look again.

Most dedicated exercisers view working out as their apple a day, not their path to preening perfection, a new poll shows.

Staying healthy is the reason most fit adults gave for hitting the gym, and they are doing it for the ones they love.

Even a belt-tightening economy has not led the active to skimp on their regimens, according to the survey.

"People said they exercise more for health than for anything else," said Marjorie Martin of EveryDay Health, which conducted the poll with the American Council on Fitness.

Martin said 54 percent of the 2,882 Americans who responded to the online poll said they want to stay fit for their loved ones. Only 40 percent said they work out to look good on beach.

"Some of us probably would have guessed appearance and weight control first," Martin said. "The fact that it is health was I think very reassuring,"

More than 90 percent of the people who took part in the survey by EverydayHealth, a network of health and fitness websites, were women. The average age was 44.

Over 80 percent said they exercise regularly.

"This is definitely an audience interested in health," said Martin. "Health websites skew female. But 93 percent is much higher than expected."

A surprising 79 percent said that if a magic pill existed to keep them looking trim and fit, they would still work out. Only 15 percent said they'd happily become couch potatoes.

"Most of us would have guessed otherwise," Martin said. "But exercise is a tremendous stress release. And in a tough economy people could be using it as an outlet for stress in general."

Sixty-four percent said the poor economy has not had an impact on their workouts. Just under half exercise on their own. Only 15 percent exercise at a gym only.

Only 21 percent sacrificed gym memberships.

"They did things to economize, like opt to jog indoors, but it didn't seem to stifle the level of overall activity." Martin explained.

Cardio was the most popular workout. Among those exercising at a facility, four of 10 use cardio equipment the most. At-home exercisers preferred cardio equipment and fitness videos.

"For people who enjoy exercising there is this need to sweat," said Martin. "There's something gratifying in feeling like you have really put in a workout."

Of the latest trends, kettlebells, Zumba, a Latin-music based aerobics workout, and pole dancing were among the three that people wanted to try most, although 26 percent were unaware of them.

Almost half of those that don't work out claim they can't get motivated.

"We hear anecdotally that people are discouraged because they fail," Martin said. "And the message we get is a lot of people are succeeding. If we can figure out how to motivate people and keep them going, then we can change a lot."

“Women, "health", and the beauty standard - Feministing” plus 1 more

“Women, "health", and the beauty standard - Feministing” plus 1 more


Women, "health", and the beauty standard - Feministing

Posted: 14 Jun 2010 12:15 PM PDT

*Note: possible eating disorder related trigger

So I've been thinking a lot about how much of women's "health" is aimed at things other than, you know, actual health. I speak here, personally, as a young, fairly thin woman. Not fashion model material, but measuring as the so-vaunted hourglass figure. I also speak as someone who has watched a mother gain weight from medicine, and the aftermath of that.

To start, a few personal stories. At one point, I basically stopped eating. I was having solid food once every three days or so. A number of people complimented me, told me how good I looked, how wonderful it was that I had managed to lose weight. Even though I was already at the very bottom of the "healthy" scale. (My BMI is naturally somewhere between 17 and 18.)

Another incident: Last semester I enrolled in a strength training class. Yes, for my health. Primarily because exercise helps my mood immensely, secondarily because I just plain want to be a bit stronger and thought it would be better to get some training in a supervised environment instead of hurting myself on my own. I was amazed at the number of responses that, explicitly or implicitly, said that I was doing it for my weight. Some were outright warnings not to "get too into it," because I would start looking "masculine" if I gained too much muscle mass. Some were comments like "Why would you do that? You already look great!"

Note one thing in common here: while both situations were framed as being about my health, neither really ended up having anything to do with my health. My "health" apparently consists, almost exclusively, in how attractive I look. This, I think, is the important point. Our society frames healthy in terms of what it thinks is attractive. These need to be divorced from each other. The most obvious connection is in eating disorders, but this affects all of us. Health is a complex thing, and we are almost expected to sacrifice it for the sake of beauty. In closing: take care of yourself, sisters, no matter what body shape you have, and don't let anyone tell you that you are healthy or unhealthy based on whether you are thin or fat.

Oh, and, feel free to discuss more ways this affects heavier-weight women, women of color, etc. Like I said, I am naturally thin, I'm sure there's plenty of effects that I'm missing here.

Sweaters were my best friend when I was having eating issues. I really didn't want the more unsightly aspects of that time to be visible, to myself or others. Some of my friends were worried regardless.

Even though I know I shouldn't care, I can't help but think of my appearance whenever I think about my health and weight. My figure (what little of one I have) is important to me. It frustrates me, because I'm all about being accepting of different body types, yet at the same time I want the 'ideal' figure for myself.

I see this all the time. I'm overweight, but I'm not unhealthy. I mean this as in I go to the doctor and my BMI registers as obese (what a loaded term). But then you look at my other indicators (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc,) and I'm in the normal range. I'm 5'3" and 185 lbs for those of you familiar w/ US measurements.

I now eat (mostly) healthy and I exercise for one hour 2-3 times a week, in a high intensity cardio setting. In addition, 2-3 times a week I exercise leisurely in walks or swims.

However a few years ago my blood pressure was getting disturbingly high for someone in their 20's and I had to admit I wasn't exercising hardly at all. So I started these activities that I now love. And of course, when doing these activities, I got the feedback that, "Oh I'm sure you'll see the pounds just come off soon!" Or "don't go shopping, you don't want to buy clothes that will be too big in a few months."

But it couldn't be about weight for me anymore. If I want to be healthy, I have to get my mind in the right place first...meaning I have to accept my body as is. When I didn't, I was too ashamed to try things...like yoga or kickboxing, which are actually great fun for me now.

I totally agree. Thank you for sharing. The "will to health" is such a powerful moral imperative in our society and I've seen very few feminist analyses of what that means for women's bodies, which are always policed to meet the ideal beauty standard (whatever that is).

As a woman recovered from an eating disorder, I look back now and see how frighteningly easy it was for me to cover up my illness because I was doing what was "healthy" (in terms of diet and exercise).

I'm now in your situation, too. I strength-train to improve my mood and feel stronger. (Plus, it's good for your bones if you have had an ED.) And I get the same comments! I really wish people would stop warning women away from strength-training.

Thanks for posting so honestly about your experiences.

I've had similar issues regarding the assumption that thin=healthy, and that people only pursue health because they are trying to lose weight.

I work out every day for half an hour, and a lot of people will make comments like, "You don't need to work out, you're already skinny!" --as if weight loss is the only reason for exercising. Actually, I'm trying to get some nice biceps because I think strong arms are sexy. Weight loss has nothing to do with it.

A few days ago, a dude at a cafe said, "Why would you want green tea? You don't need to lose weight!" and I was infuriated. I don't even believe that green tea has an effect on weight loss. I drink it because it's a kickass antioxidant and tastes good.

My respect for women who go against the cultural status quo and build some muscle is enormous. I don't think that there's anything masculine about it, especially given how much harder it is for women to bulk up. I also have much respect for women who do real pushups.
I am baffled by the cultural pressure that women are under to avoid becoming stronger. It is totally awesome to have your girlfriend able to carry her end of the couch. There is so much pressure on women to accept that they are weak and should be weak, and that sucks in a bad way.

Yes, exactly, agreed, well-said. I went to a nutritionist when I came home from Peace Corps, because I wanted to start a habit of eating well. And that's what I told her. Within ten minutes, she said, "We'll get that weight off you." and I was majorly taken aback--because I never said I was there to lose weight. She just assumed.

Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves head to Bollywood for 'Price of Beauty' - Examiner

Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:09 PM PDT

Just days after appearing on QVC with her new fashion collection, celebrity pop star Jessica Simpson and BFF Ken Paves are headed to Bollywood to shoot for her new, upcoming show The Price of Beauty.

The star tweeted her and hairstylist Paves were off to India for another filming segment of the show on her Twitter page and posted the picture below of the two before take-off. 

After breaking up with ex-boyfriend and Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson faced more downers when she packed on the pounds, lost her dog to a fierce coyote attack and was made fun of on FOX for weight she'd already lost.

But nothing seems to be stopping Simpson, who's been delving into her work, supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and making a new show that puts a price on the beauty of women around the world.

"All around the world women are going to extreme lengths to feel beautiful," Simpson said. "But natural beauty should not be overlooked."

The show has already been filming, putting the star in scary sleeping situations and lists executive producers as Jessica and her dad Joe Simpson as well as Chris Coelen, Claire O'Donohoe and Greg Goldman for RDF USA (Wife Swap, Secret Millionaire). The show is set to air on VH1 in 2010.

NPA Questions USDA's New Dietary Guidelines Draft - NPI center

Posted: 17 Jun 2010 05:05 PM PDT


NPA Questions USDA's New Dietary Guidelines Draft
2010-06-17 - Natural Products Association


The Natural Products Association (NPA), the nation's largest and oldest non-profit organization dedicated to the natural products industry, expressed concern about the direction of the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion's "Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010," a draft report released yesterday assessing revisions and recommendations to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines. When finalized, the report will form the basis for the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which will be released at the end of the year.

 

Driving NPA's concerns are troubling statements within the report such as "...a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement does not offer health benefits to healthy Americans."

 

"When less than 25% of the U.S. population eats the recommended serving of five fruits and vegetables daily, how are Americans to get the vitamins and minerals they need?" says NPA Executive Director and CEO John Gay. "Advice to cut off a reliable and safe nutrition source, such as a daily multivitamin, doesn't seem logical or responsible." The agency is accepting public comments on the report from individuals and organizations through July 15, 2010 and oral testimony may be provided at a public meeting to be held in Washington, D.C., in July. "The Natural Products Association will be weighing in vigorously," said Gay.

 

About Natural Products Association

The Natural Products Association (NPA), founded in 1936, is the largest and oldest non-profit organization dedicated to the natural products industry, representing more than 10,000 retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of natural products, including foods, dietary supplements, and health/beauty aids. As the leading voice of the natural products industry, the NPA's mission is to advocate for the rights of consumers to have access to products that will maintain and improve their health, and for the rights of retailers and suppliers to sell these products.
