By implementing effective marketing campaigns, Blender Bites seeks to differentiate itself from competitors and highlight its 1-Step product line. Management anticipates that the Sales Broker's involvement will significantly contribute to long-term retail growth in the US by helping the Company capture a share of the growing US smoothie market, which is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.40% from 2024 to 2033 to reach $9.86 billion[2].
