Direct to Consumer Expansion: A Game Changer for CPG Brands
At Consumer Connection, we are seeing a clear shift across the CPG industry. Brands are investing more heavily in direct to consumer models to build stronger relationships, capture first party data, and grow revenue beyond traditional retail. As this shift accelerates, having the right talent in place has become essential, and that is where our food and beverage recruiters play a critical role.
Why Direct to Consumer Matters
Direct to consumer strategies allow brands to connect with shoppers in more meaningful ways. Personalized online experiences and subscription models help strengthen loyalty and keep customers engaged over time. Direct relationships also give brands access to valuable first party data, allowing teams to make smarter decisions around marketing, product development, and forecasting. In addition, D2C models often support stronger margins by reducing reliance on intermediaries while maintaining control over the full consumer experience.
