What were the top 100 over-the-counter and health and beauty care product brands that generated the most dollar sales in 2000? Here's the pecking order as compiled by Information Resources Inc., a Chicago-based market research and software firm. IRI came up with the data by scanning 11,450 supermarkets, 7,600 drugstores, and 300 mass-merchandisers.
How does IRI define brand? If a product comes in a tablet and liquid form, IRI tracks these as two different entries; they are not aggregated into one single brand. Are your sales similar to this national scoreboard?
