Tasting and other events

Tasting events where consumers and chefs in India try your product

We gather consumers along with chefs and bartenders and serve your product. How they would use it at home, how it stands against competitors, how they take the price. What we hear, we turn into a sales strategy.

OUTCOMES

What you take away from a tasting event in India

Afterward we hand you a record covering the profiles of the participants, the situations they would use the product in, how they took the price, and the comparison with competitors.

01

Consumer Reaction

We ask participants who fit your intended customer profile what they would use it for at home, how it compares with competitors, and what they think of the price.

02

The professional view

We ask chefs and bartenders whether it is easy to work with in their venues.

03

The next move

Which customers to sell to, at what price, and with what message. We write up a proposal based on the comments we gather and hand it to you.

04

The next sales channel

Products that drew a good response go straight on to pop-ups and trade shows.
