The natural foods industry has long been aware of the value associated with vitamin and supplements training for their store personnel. Because the average consumer wants assistance in purchasing vitamins, it is imperative to keep your staff up to date on the latest in the dietary supplements industry.

Vitamer Labs provides this assistance. Our Technical Department offers its service to train your store personnel at your site or store. Our technical staff consists of educated professionals with backgrounds in human nutrition, including Registered Dietitians. Generally, most trainings require a two to three hour commitment. Both technical information and product knowledge about private label supplements are covered utilizing a variety of interactive training styles. The trainer uses videos, as well as training manual, customized to your product selection. Manuals are distributed to each participant for use both during the training and as a future reference tool. The value of private label to your company, an overview of nutrition, products, market, and merchandising ideas for your stores are all presented

Regardless of the familiarity of your store staff with nutrition and supplements, they gain a better understanding of this category through Vitamer trainings. This broader understanding of private label vitamins and supplements improves their ability to assist customers, to answer customer questions, and to promote and display the products in the store set. When more technical support is needed, the participants are encouraged to call our technical hotline for in-depth or ongoing assistance.

Technical trainings provide your employees with a basic working knowledge of nutritional supplements that lends credibility to your store's decision to carry this category. Many natural foods stores compete easily with retail grocery and pharmacy chains because of their product knowledge and their ability to assist the consumer with these often difficult buying decisions. To support a successful private label line, technical training of your staff is critical. By investing time in training your staff, you will be making an investment in increased future sales.
