Expo West 2016
March is one of Stanton & Company’s favorite times of the year! Brands from all over the country debut their latest and greatest food, supplement, beauty and household products at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, and our team attends to both support our clients, and to learn about emerging brands. And, we get to meet the amazing people behind all of our favorite products!
S&Co clients were at Expo West in full-force:
Caliwater debuted two new cactus water flavors – Cactus + Peach and Cactus + Berry
Enzymedica introduced LypoGold, a powerful digestive enzyme supplement that can break down up to 22 grams of fat per capsule
Four Sigmatic hosted a book signing with Ultra Athlete Rich Roll
Kathryn Budig taught yoga on Sunday morning with Evolve
Pure celebrates its 10th anniversary
Sambazon announced four new products: two Superfruit Packs (Performance Protein and Supergreens), and two acai sorbets: Açaà + Coconut Creamy and Açaà Chocolate + Chocolate Chip Creamy)
In addition, with more than 2,500 brands at the show, it’s always a great opportunity for our team to spot emerging trends. Here’s a few things we noticed:
Turmeric has made its way into mainstream products, from snack bars to almond milk: check out Califia Farms
Popcorn was back again this year in a big way; we can’t get enough of The Little Kernel
Avocado-themed products were a hit, including Kettle Brand’s new chips made with avocado oil
Kimchi!! Check out Mama O’s Kimchi Kit
It’s never been more convenient to add chia seeds to your diet, even if you’re always on-the-go…Mamma Chia makes it easy
Every year, we stalk our favorite dark chocolate friends at Alter Eco; this year they were kind enough to share some of our very favorite Sea Salt Bars and Bonbons
We always LOVE Lov Teas and their beautiful packaging
Real-life ninjas are the coolest! Our friends Travis Brewer and Modern Tarzan continue to keep us smiling
And, after many long days and a lot of success for our clients, we couldn’t help but find ourselves enjoying fresh Moscow Mules from Reed’s, handmade with their original Ginger Brew.
Our entire S&Co Team is already looking forward to next year’s Expo West!
