ECRM announces 2022 Global Market supplier event
ECRM, a global leader in end-to-end product sourcing solutions for retailers, announces the dates of its Global Market: Spring Buying Days event. Taking place from March 28 through April 1, 2022, the event will help U.S. retailers to make wholesale purchases directly from participating suppliers using a new capability launched by RangeMe.
Branded and private label products will be covered at the event, in categories such as Food (including Frozen, Dairy, Deli, Meat, Seafood, Candy, Snacks, and Center Store), Beverages, Foodservice, Health Care, Personal Care, Beauty, Wellness, Baby, Household, Housewares and Pet.
The Spring Buying Days event follows other supplier events ECRM is holding with retailers including CVS, Albertsons Companies, Meijer, Sam’s Club, and Walgreens.
