Do you want to give your competitors a 20% head start?
When Gaia Herbs implemented a transparency program, their sales skyrocketed 3x over the next four years.
Which was a smart move. Because one in five of U.S. consumers choose a transparent brand as their first choice.
This begs the question:
Are you ready for a wave of new customers?
Knowing this fact and other critical insights about transparency’s value to your company is just one of the key reasons to get this new report:
The ROI of Transparency: A Consumer Market Research Study.
Even more valuable is that your transparency efforts will be guided with data-driven implementation methods.
You’ll learn what transparent practices to do first — real actionable steps — for the greatest return on investment.
And here’s the good news for you (and why you need to start now).
Everybody — consumers, industry, trade groups — is talking about transparency, but not many companies are actually doing it.
How much your brand takes transparency to heart directly impacts your customer relationships, and your future earnings. Why wait before others get that 20%? Or the additional 26% of consumers who look for transparent brands when in the store? Or the additional 27% who consider transparency as one of their buying variables? When you add all three groups, that’s 73% of the population.
This report answers those questions and gives you tools to make an action plan.
