Reminder: Quarterly Executive Trends Index Report Survey Released

The first Quarterly Executive Trends Index online survey for 2014 was sent last week directly from Cleveland Research. Based on your feedback, in 2014, this report is also being made available to manufacturer members. The survey was sent to the main contact of each NAFCD member - both distributors and manufacturers. Make sure you check your Inbox for the survey link to respond.

All survey responses are anonymous and confidential with responses aggregated only to identify key trends in the industry (sales growth for the industry, inventory levels, changes in operating costs, etc.). If you did not receive your survey link, please contact Michelle Miller at mmiller@nafcd.org.
