Company Summary

80% of all grocery products FAIL - and no wonder. With 180,000 new products introduced annually, shorter shelf-time, and risk adverse shoppers, it's nearly impossible for products to succeed. We've teamed with leading companies to test the first-ever Free-Retail store concept where people come to discover & try new products - FREE. We add tech to ads, sampling, surveys, coupons & more in ways that drive shopper purchases & new product success
