“Getting it on the shelves so customers can try it is not enough, we want to see velocity growth.”

– Merchandising Director, Grocery Chain

“To win in functional drinks, you need to build such overwhelming customer awareness and pull.”

– VP Sales, Distributor

“New products in this category die on shelves unless people are coming into the stores looking for them ”

– VP Merchandising, Grocery Retailer

The “Operating System for Life” campaign gave us a successful way to talk to the TRADE about Neuro, but…

“They could be the next vitamin water. Cool names and distinct packaging are a big part of their appeal”

– Store Mgr Chevron

“The packaging looks attractive and powerful…customers are intrigued”

– Store Mgr Walgreens

“The design of bottle and its functionality help set it apart from the rest.”

– Distributor

“We’re only at the “Functional Beverage 101 stage.”– Sean Seitzinger - Symphony IRI -2011

What we heard from consumers

“An Operating System For Life”

is very serious and yet the bottles are so colorful and

fun. It just feels weird to me.”

- Bob, LA

“Does the product do what it says it will?

I love what it says, but how do I know

it will really work or is it just more snake oil

being sold to us based on our wish to find the perfect solution to our need.”

- Maria, NYC
