Consumers who choose to buy artisan and independent brands are prepared to pay a higher price for smaller batches with more natural ingredients and a more ‘home made’ feel. How do you, as a brand owner, preserve your brand quality? How can you ensure that your products are consumed at their best once they leave the retailer?
Due to their higher prices, it is tempting for the consumer to keep artisan products and use them right up to the last mouthful. Not being able to remember when you bought (or first opened) a product is risky. The sniff test does not work on bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli and listeria, which are all odorless.
There is a solution.
The UWI Solution
The UWI Timer allows your customers to tell at a glance the open life of a product, ensuring that they always consume the product at its best, improve their fridge management and save money by reducing food waste.
