ORGANA International is moving forward with its U.S. retail expansion after gathering feedback from retail buyers at the ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session, held Sept. 14-17 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The Springville, Utah-based wellness company used the event to showcase its nearly three-decade history in the natural wellness market, its expanding product portfolio, and its merchandising approach designed with retail environments in mind.
"ECRM provides an opportunity to introduce retailers to ORGANA and learn more about what they're looking for in their categories," said Larry Mills, CEO of ORGANA International. "The conversations and feedback from these meetings give us valuable perspective as we continue working to expand the ORGANA brand across the U.S. retail market."
A key focus of ORGANA's participation was its new Mineral Shots, presented in a colorful point-of-purchase display. The display was designed to show retailers a highly visible, ready-to-merchandise format for counters, shelves, and other high-traffic locations. It served as a tangible example of how ORGANA considers packaging, presentation, store placement, and merchandising as part of retail opportunities.
"Retail expansion involves more than simply having the right products," Mills said. "Packaging, presentation, merchandising and how a product fits within a retailer's assortment are all part of the conversation. That's an important perspective for us as we continue developing our retail strategy."
ORGANA also highlighted its broader portfolio, including Fulvic Acid Trace Mineral Drink, Liquid Oxygen, Essiac Tea, magnesium creams, and other natural wellness products. Founded in 1997, the company has continually evolved its offerings as the natural wellness marketplace has changed, giving it the ability to approach retail opportunities with a diverse range of products rather than relying on a single category.
"We've been building ORGANA for nearly 30 years, and we're still learning and evolving," Mills said. "The feedback that comes from conversations with retailers is part of that process. It's about continuing to refine our approach and looking for the right opportunities for ORGANA."
ORGANA products are already available nationwide through Amazon and OneLavi, providing an established U.S. online retail presence. Consumers can explore and purchase ORGANA products through the company's Amazon storefront and on OneLavi.com. The company's participation in ECRM represents another step in its strategy to introduce ORGANA to additional retail channels and build awareness of the brand and its product portfolio within the retail community.
"ECRM was a valuable opportunity for ORGANA to continue building its presence within the U.S. retail marketplace," Mills added. "We'll take the insights and feedback from those meetings and use them as we continue moving our retail strategy forward."

The implications of ORGANA's efforts extend beyond a single trade show. As the natural wellness market grows increasingly competitive, the company's emphasis on retail-ready packaging and merchandising could help it stand out on shelves and in online marketplaces. By listening to retail buyers and adapting its approach, ORGANA aims to secure a stronger position in U.S. retail, potentially increasing access to its products for consumers nationwide. The company's nearly 30-year history and 5-star BBB rating may also bolster its credibility with retailers considering new wellness brands. If successful, ORGANA's strategy could serve as a model for other natural wellness companies seeking to bridge the gap between online presence and physical retail shelves.
