Video Product Testing

A modern take on Consumer Reports focused on supplement testing, delivered through short-form video content across social platforms. The business would build trust through scientific testing and transparent reviews, eventually launching their own supplement line.

Key Components:

  • Content Strategy:

    • Create short-form videos (15-30 seconds) testing supplements
    • Use TikTok-style format that can be posted across all social platforms
    • Focus on scientific testing of product claims
    • Compare stated vs actual ingredients/effectiveness
  • Trust Building:

    • Position as independent, trusted source for supplement information
    • Conduct scientific testing that consumers can't do themselves
    • Verify product claims (e.g., protein content per scoop)
    • Create shareable, educational content
  • Revenue Model:

    • Initially build audience and trust through content
    • Eventually launch own supplement line
    • Position own products as "the ones we wish existed"
    • Follow More Plates More Dates/Huberman Lab business model
  • Market Opportunity:

    • Consumer Reports does $289M/year as a nonprofit
    • JD Power does $240M/year in product testing
    • Growing supplement and wellness market
    • Lack of trusted, modern voices in supplement testing
  • Differentiation:

    • Modern video format vs traditional written reviews
    • Appeals to younger audience
    • Content optimized for social sharing
    • Scientific approach with accessible presentation
