“I found your Assortment Styler information last year was very valuable to us as a mid-sized company, like none that I have come across in my experience of working in the industry. I look forward to the new edition.”
From Expert Product Testing to Recipe Testing or Creation to Kitchen Trends Presentations
Our first collaboration with Jane of Smart Kitchen Insights is a project to identify best practices for recipe presentation on an appliance manufacturer’s website. There are many websites that offer recipes and there are many websites that offer recipes specific to countertop cooking appliances such as air fryers and slow cookers and juicers. These products, due to their specific capacities and cooking temperatures need to supply their consumers with custom recipes. Many websites supply recipes in support of their products, but what is supplied and how it is supported vary considerably. We are surveying the field, identifying best practices and recommending partners to enhance our client’s utility to their consumers – very much in line with our Chicago speech topic – “The Sale Doesn’t End at the Register!”
