Startup Looks to Disrupt the Supplement Industry's Dirtiest Secret

Root’d

With the leading gummy and hydration supplements containing over 60% sugar, LA-based startup Root’d is looking to disrupt a $55 Billion industry addicted to sugar and announce a new Whole Foods Market partnership. Root’d, the world's first full-spectrum multivitamin powder infused with sugar-free electrolytes, has announced a new national distribution partnership with Whole Foods Markets, with distribution across over 400 of their stores. Root’d was born to address the supplement industry's addiction to sugar, effectively delivering a long-overdue 3 rd option to supplement users' pill, gummy, and sugar-dominated routines. Root’d is available now at Whole Foods Markets, Sprouts Farmers Markets, Rootd.com, and MOM’s Organic Markets. According to Root’d, the supplement industry has a dirty little secret it doesn’t want you to know. It’s addicted to sugar. Not just a little sugar either, insane amounts of sugar! The leading gummy multivitamins and hydration powders are over 60% pure sugar, one of the world's most unhealthy ingredients, yet most consumers have no idea. Root’d aims to get sugar out and bring health back. Root’d was brought to life by supplement insiders, who obsessed over different iterations and options for two years until Root’d was finally born. They found that when you combine the nutrition of a full-spectrum multivitamin with the hydration power of electrolytes and then add organic superfoods and probiotics, our body's natural flow absorbs the nutrients as one to give a hydrating nutrition BOOST to our day, all without the sugar. According to Nutrition Business Journal, the supplement market represents $55.7 Billion in the US alone, growing at over 14%. With an estimated 70% of North American consumers actively trying to reduce sugar in their diets, and, according to a recent 10-year study conducted by the FDA, a further 20% of consumers having difficulty swallowing pills, a sugar-free powder option was long-overdue. “People trust our industry to help them get healthier, and with all this sugar, we’re failing. Our mission at Root’d is to bring health back and get sugar out!” said, Adams Chimera, Founder of Root’d. “We spent over 2 years crafting the perfect MULTI, and we’re so excited to partner with Whole Foods to give expanded access to a sugar-free powder option to more of the US.” “I am thrilled with how much more energy I have while taking my Root'd daily. It has helped in so many ways.” Said Tara Folks of Indianapolis, IN. “I can honestly feel a difference if I skip more than one day of the vitamin pack. I highly recommend this as an alternative to swallowing 20 or more pills a day to get all of these wonderful, helpful vitamins.” Root’d starts at as little as $30 for a 24 pack, with formulations crafted for the unique needs of Her, Him, and prenatal Mom’s to be. To learn more about Rootd, visit rootd.com, or head to your local Whole Foods or Sprouts Farmers Market. About Root’d As founder Adams Chimera entered his 30’s injuries started to take over his life, putting him on a health journey to eliminate the bad from his diet, most notably sugar. As an existing leader in the supplement space, he was frustrated by the crazy amount of sugar the industry used, with the top gummy and hydration supplements containing over 60% sugar. It had to change. Root’d was born by an obsession to bring health back to supplements and is the world’s first full-spectrum multivitamin infused with a hydration powder, all in one amazing sugar-free drink mix. Root’d gives supplement users a long-overdue third option to their pill, gummy, and sugar-dominated routines, and stays Root’d to their mission to help people and our planet get healthier with sugar-free, sustainable supplements. The Root’d vision is to disrupt this $55 billion industry addicted to sugar by bringing health back, and getting sugar out, one healthy drink mix at a time. To learn more, visit Rootd.com.

Simple Tips to Save Time this Holiday Season

YourUpdateTV

Thanksgiving is by far the most delicious holiday of the year, but if you’re hosting a house full of people — or even just preparing dinner for a few friends — it can be a lot of work. Recently, Chief Business Officer and Holiday Shopping Expert at Shipt, Rina Hurst, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss Shipt’s ‘Thanksgiving Most Forgotten List’ and much more. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Al5gBSOboTc Thanksgiving is the official kick-off to the holiday season, which means days get shorter and the to-do lists get longer. Through their recent Thanksgiving Shopping Survey, Shipt uncovered that a majority of Americans - more than 80% - will be preparing or cooking their Thanksgiving meal this year, which means they need to get their lists in order ASAP. It turns out that more people than we think forget important holiday necessities, in fact over half of Americans (61%) surveyed admit to forgetting to buy a food or seasonal ingredient needed for their Thanksgiving meal. The three most commonly forgotten Thanksgiving food items include: 1. Cranberries (33%) 2. Fragrant spices (such as thyme, basil, etc) (30%) 3. Beverages (21%) Another recent trend is buying ready-made items for Thanksgiving and holiday meals. One quarter of Americans are purchasing elements of their meal ready-made from the store, with over half (52%) purchasing their Thanksgiving bread loaves or rolls rather than baking from scratch. One of the biggest resources this holiday season will be home delivery services, like Shipt. They have a dedicated force of Shipt Shoppers that provide a personalized shopping experience and bring the store to your door - with more than 130 retailers nationwide, which can offer same-day delivery of groceries, essentials, pet items, apparel, office supplies and more. To view the Thanksgiving Most Forgotten List, Shipt users can visit Shipt.com or the Shipt app, where the shoppable list will be available in the shelf category icons.

National Study from Perfitly Reveals Consumers Eager for Online Fitting Room Solutions to Try Before They Buy, Reduce Hassle of Returns

Perfitly

Perfitly, a virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) and AI-powered virtual fitting room solution that is being integrated into the e-commerce platforms of the nation’s leading retailers, today announced the results from its 2021 Virtual Shopping Habits Report. The study examines shoppers’ attitudes, behaviors and expectations from online shopping, and the types of services that would increase the effectiveness of the digital channel and ease shopper pain points going into the holiday shopping season. Conducted by Perfitly, the study surveyed more than 1,200 respondents, representative of consumers in all main geographical areas of the U.S. Key findings show the pervasiveness of online clothes shopping, shaped by the pandemic; the ongoing struggle by the vast majority of online shoppers to find the right, well-fitting purchase; and the high degree of willingness to use ecommerce tools, such as virtual fitting rooms, to select the right garment and reduce returns. The following is a breakdown of top-level data points: Online Shopping Behavior Survey data shows that the majority of shoppers purchase clothing online, motivated by both the ability to save time and the wide selection of options to choose from. More than 53% of respondents purchase at least 40% or more of their clothing online. The majority of respondents have recently purchased an article of clothing online, with 34% making online purchases within the past 2 weeks and a further 25% within the past month. Only 11% reported that they have not purchased clothes online at all in 2021. Online Shopping Hesitations and Returns The largest concern shoppers have with e-commerce is the inability to try on clothing before purchasing. Additionally, the biggest single reason shoppers return garments purchased online is due to receiving an improper fit. 48% say the inability to try clothes on is their biggest concern with online shopping; 3x more than any other cited reason. 73% of online clothes purchases are returned because of the inability to try it on; 7x more than any other cited reason. Outlook on Virtual Fitting Rooms While the majority of shoppers have not used e-commerce tools to help the selection process, they find the ability to choose a correctly sized garment as the most appealing aspect of virtual fitting rooms. More than half of the respondents have used traditional size charts with measurements, while others have used techniques such as sizing questionnaires and AR filters, showing a desire for online fitting solutions. 44% say the ability to find the correct sized garment is why they’d use a virtual fitting room; 3x more than any other cited reason. While only 7% of respondents have used a virtual fitting room, 76% say they would be more inclined to use virtual fitting room technology if it helps their selection experience and to avoid returns. More than half of respondents prefer to see a representation of themselves in virtual avatars. Holiday Shopping Plans With holiday shopping on the horizon, most shoppers are likely to shop for garments online, aiming to complete their holiday purchases by mid-December. 63% are likely or very likely to purchase clothes online this holiday season. 22% aim to complete holiday shopping by late November, and only 4% have already completed holiday shopping at the time of the survey. 21% plan to shop in early December, with 16% holding off until mid-late December. Kash Vyas, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder at Perfitly, said, “Retailers are currently looking at a unique opportunity to increase their online presence and harness the demand for effective and engaging online shopping experiences that provide customers with the ability, and peace of mind, to purchase garments that will fit correctly and match their style expectations. Looking ahead, data suggests there’s a growing appetite for everyday shoppers to find better ways to visualize garments to take online shopping to the next level, one that mimics the in-person shopping experience along with the many conveniences of shopping online.” To learn more, please visit www.perfitly.com.

HowToBet.Com Shares That Male Professional Athletes Earn Exponentially More Money Than Women ― But Not For The Obvious Reasons

HowToBet.com

HowToBet.com outlines the sports pay gap and the reasons behind it in the recent article “Gender Pay Gap: Understanding the Gender Gap in Sports Pay.” The U.S. women’s soccer team has made international headlines with their campaign to bring their salaries and benefits on par with the U.S. men’s team. But the pay difference between female and male professional athletes is not limited to the country’s top soccer stars. In fact, the gap is even larger in many sports, and staggering across the board. The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) highest player for the fifth year in a row is Stephen Curry, with a salary of $45,780,966. Curry earns over $550,000 per regular-season game. By comparison, Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) legend Sue Bird earns the league’s maximum salary of $221,450 per year, or $6,900 per regular-season game. Bird’s salary is matched by just six other top performers in the WNBA league including Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi. To reach parity, the women would need a 20573.27% raise. The NBA’s audience and marketing revenues are famously huge, but HowToBet.com dismantles the argument that women’s professional athletes’ salaries are always objectively dictated. The U.S. women’s soccer team brought in $50.8 million in revenue in 2016 to 2018, while the U.S. men’s team brought in $49.9 million during that time. Merchandise was also selling well, with Nike CEO Mark Parker remarking on a 2019 earnings call that the USA women’s home jersey was the best selling soccer jersey, men’s or women’s, ever sold on Nike.com in one season. Yet, in the 2021 season, women’s players’ salaries ranged from $22,000 to $52,500 while no male players earned less than $63,547 (the baseline for the reserve roster). The average male player earns $398,725 while, according to the National Women’s Soccer League Players Association (NWSLPA) estimates, three-quarters of the women players earn $31,000 or less. Earlier this year, the NWSLPA launched a campaign called #NoMoreSideHustles to bring awareness to salaries below a livable wage. Performance is also not a reason for the soccer pay disparity. The women’s soccer team has consistently far outperformed the men’s team in competition, with a FIFA ranking of #1, four world cup titles, and seven Olympic medals ― four of them gold. By contrast the men's team is ranked #13 by FIFA, has never won a world cup, and has failed to qualify for the last three Olympic games. Even in their losses, the men are better compensated. After winning the World Cup in 2015, the women’s team received a bonus of $1.725 million from the United States Soccer Federation. The men’s team, eliminated in 2014 in the 16th round,earned an extra $5.375 million. Team star Megan Rapino has publicly stated that men are “compensated on the potential that they show,” whereas “women are so often paid on what they have actually done — which normally I would say, we outperform what our contract was.” The issue is not limited to basketball or soccer, but widespread, with the British Open, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship offering men’s first-place prizes over $1 million above the women’s. This takes place despite large viewership and wide sponsorships for the women’s competitions. HowToBet.com looks at arguments like the theory that women’s leagues and high performance competition are relatively new and still maturing as commercial entities. The WNBA was established in 1996, whereas the NBA began in 1946. But this argument for “organic” growth does not account for non-market driven resistance. A major hurdle is attitudes. British tennis player Andy Murray, who advocates for equal prize purses in his own sport, claims that some male tennis players are deeply opposed to women receiving equal pay. Murray said in a CNN interview that some male players he has spoken with would prefer lower first-round elimination checks, for example, than higher ones that were matched by women players. HowToBet.com considers these attitudes and how they may affect the future of the pay gap, proposing that as the women’s teams become better established, their stars will have more bargaining power. Another possible influencer could be the newer niche sports like CrossFit, which have inherently more gender parity. Not incidentally, CrossFit Games has always offered an identical prize purse for male and female competitors.
