Video Product Testing
Share
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
