According to Nielsen, 3 in 4 new SKUs fail to generate £100K sales in their first year of trading. The UK’s top 4 retailers have delisted at least 7500 SKUs in the past year and the number of branded and private label launches is decreasing. According to the latest Newton report, discounters with just 1,350 SKUs are convincing customers that they have more innovative products than at a big four supermarket, which averages closer to 35,000 SKUs.

We’d love you to road-test Vypr, give us your feedback and enjoy the benefits of better product intelligence. We’ll connect you to 1000s of consumers and you’ll get unlimited opportunities to test your latest innovations or iterations.

If you love Vypr, we’ll get you an annual licence set up. If you don’t, we’ll leave you be. Vypr works best on low-consideration purchases such as FMCG, fast fashion, small consumer durables.
