PROTOTYPE AND PILOT

Within 6 months, Island Abbey had prototyped and piloted multiple formulations and flavorings for the customer to seek approval through their marketing, sales, and leadership.

9 MONTHS TO ON-SHELF

The concept was finalized, approved by Island Abbey and the customer for manufacturing, and on-shelf in 9 months. Island Abbey also identified multiple potential line extensions, including minor formulation modifications, to address different consumer segments and lead to the rapid deployment of subsequent products.
