As a market leader in sport nutrition solutions in the vending space, we take our role as innovators very seriously. The Nutrivend business model does not allow us to be content with merely filling our vending machines with any products we can get our hands on and leaving it at that. We understand that being a market leader requires that we act like one.
Among the key components of our mission and philosophy is a genuine desire to be innovators. We are already shaking up the vending world by integrating traditional vending machines with sport nutrition. We were one of the earliest adopters of sport nutrition vending in the UK, and we seek to continue being the first name in what we do.
We believe that the core principles for innovating sport nutrition solutions are as follows:
Continuing Nutrition Education
The Nutrivend staff cannot possibly know what constitutes high-quality sport nutrition without being educated. Therefore, we believe in the idea of continuing nutrition education. We are avid students in all things sport and nutrition, with the goal of always being on the cutting edge of the industry. We read, we experiment, we ask questions, and we blaze the trail.
Knowledge of the Customer
Next, it is imperative to the success of our business that we know our customers inside and out. We need to know the core essentials of their business models. We need to know what is important to them in terms of engaging with their own customers. We also need to be aware of how they use their space in relation to the kinds of vending machines we have available. In other words, we have to be as knowledgeable about their day-to-day operations as we are our own.
Knowledge of the Audience
The customers of our customers – i.e., the retail buyers of vending machine products – are known in marketing terms as the 'audience'. Being an innovator of sport nutrition solutions ultimately means having a good knowledge of what the audience is looking for. If retail buyers want certain kinds of energy drinks, we need to find a way to provide them. If they want better protein bars than they currently have access to, it is our job to make it happen.
Willingness to Think Unconventionally
Finally, being an innovator of sport nutrition solutions requires a willingness to think outside of conventional boundaries. Nutrivend did just that when we decided to marry vending with sport nutrition. We continue to think unconventionally with every new partner we sign and every new product we investigate. We do this because we know there is not a single innovation that was ever developed inside of conventional boundaries. By definition, innovation must transcend the conventional.
