What Our Clients Are Saying

"It’s such a pleasure to partner with MCE as it pertains to growing our business at Luke’s Lobster. The connections MCE provides with mentors, community building, and industry peers is incredibly valuable to building a strong professional network. The MCE staff is engaging and thoughtful with how they can help our business. And perhaps the biggest advantage to partnering with MCE is their ability to track down data and insights that help steer our business. The data and analysis from MCE’s Maine Seafood and Aquaculture Report allowed us to see key trends, particularly in parts of the country where we do not have colleagues present. This data is typically hard to access and quite expensive for a small business. The information we receive from MCE has been vital to our ability to book meetings and ultimately place products in retailers like Food Lion, Wakefern, Stop & Shop, Market Basket and Hannaford. We are grateful for the data and analysis we receive from MCE throughout the year."

"MarketShare’s mentors and webinars have provided us with great information and feedback on critical areas such as assessing our grocery trade promotion programs, increasing our retailer e-commerce sales, and leveraging our presence at trade shows. This is a great program for companies looking to expand their presence in the grocery and natural food sectors!"

- Colleen Craig, Brand Marketing, Wyman’s

“MarketShare’s Nielsen data, webinars, and workshops featuring speakers from national foodservice, retail, and market analytics companies, have been timely as we develop new ways to increase retail presence and shelf space with our new frozen product lines.”
