Among the many projects that VegeProject works on, our common, unwavering goal is to create a society where vegan and vegetarian options are always available. For this end, our collaboration with companies is not simply to award vegetarian and vegan certifications, but to provide a range of services including consulting, helping with product development, dissemination, and sales promotion.

We would like to introduce two such recent initiatives in this article.

【Organizing Taste Testings for Product Development】
Vegan & gluten free shumai (steamed dumplings) taste testing

Getting consumers to choose vegan has much to do with putting out quality vegan products. Vegan products should be aimed beyond simply the vegan consumer to target the general public, but as the core consumer group, it is also important to get feedback from vegans, vegetarians, and those interested in that lifestyle. VegeProject is able to use its extensive network in the vegan community to collect feedback from vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians.

Depending on the project, we do everything from collecting respondents, creating the feedback form, doing follow ups, and analyzing the results.

For this project we helped with a vegan shumai taste testing.

Look at our Instagram post for details.
We have finished this project, but for those interested in participating in future taste testings, please follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and our VegeTime Facebook to get notified when we do future taste testings. For Facebook, be sure to set us to “favorites” under follow so that you never miss a post from us!

【Sales Promotion, Campaign Advertisement Collaboration】

To celebrate their one year anniversary, Solid&Strong BAG STORE, which uses only natural plant-based ingredients to make their custom-design bags, is organizing a giveaway. Building upon their brand of custom design, this giveaway is designed so that each participant submits their ideal design via Instagram post, and the winner gets that bag custom made.

To enter, there are just two easy steps:

  1. Follow Solid&Strong BAG STORE’s official account @solidandstrong.bagstore
  2. Upload your idea for the bag you want made with the hashtag #solidandstrongなトートバッグ and tag @solidandstrong.bagstore

Be sure to check out the details of applying at our Instagram post here.

We hope to continue supporting businesses so that better vegan products can come out, and help them connect to the right consumer demographics.
