During his three decades in the retail business, Gould has sold top brands to all major retailers: Walmart, Amazon, GNC, Vitamin World, Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, K-Mart, 7-11 , CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, to name a few.
“I have signed deals for major brands in all of the national headquarters of large and small retailers across the country,” said Gould, founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International, a global brand management company based in Boca Raton, in Florida. “I know what retailers are looking for. I know what it takes to launch products in America.

This led Gould to develop his “Evolution of Distribution” platform which helps brands launch products in the United States.
“International health and wellness brands were struggling when they launched products in America,” Gould said. “These companies had to acquire a new corporate culture, open an office, hire sales and support staff, and market their products to consumers and retailers. He overwhelmed many of them.
“By the time they sold their first unit, the brands had wasted tens of thousands of dollars,” Gould added.
Gould was perfectly suited to see the challenges and obstacles faced by product launches due to his long career working with brands and retailers.
“As I understood all aspects of the retail industry – product development, marketing, and the sales cycle between manufacturers and retailers – I had a unique perspective on the issues facing these companies. were facing, ”he said.
Gould said he realized brands needed a simplified, one-stop turnkey solution that focused on speed to market and cost efficiency.
“Essentially, we play the role of the US headquarters for these brands where we import, distribute and promote from one platform,” said Gould.
“NPI and its sister company, InHealth Media, work in parallel synergistically to create brand awareness, because promotion equals speed,” he added. “While NPI imports and distributes, IHM promotes and ensures brand awareness among consumers, which creates a completely holistic approach to the US market. “
