I can’t see anywhere about any samples being sold, if there is then sorry about this post
I often see a lot of comments, posts etc. that people are put off by the fact there are no proper sampling methods. I’ve seen on yFood that they have a taster pack for their powders and bottles. See products here - yfood Tasterpacks
Surely Huel can do something similar?
I understand you want people to feel the longer term benefits, for the powders at least you could maybe offer a 14 shake sample pack so people have a 2 week window to test out flavours and start to feel some of the benefits of Huel. You could charge something like £30-£35 for these packs, roughly £2.14-£2.50 a shake, or less, up to you, even at that point it’s still cheaper than grabbing a meal deal! But this means users can then figure out which flavours are right for them, and lock into those and get that longer term savings with subscriptions etc. You could probably do something similar with the H&S and adjust the pricing as needed. This would help everyone save money and not waste any product, and I’m sure, bring in more customers.
The build your own bundles and singles options (including retail) have kind of rendered sample packs redundant. Sure, the RTD’s are smoother and a littler creamier than the powders, but the taste approximation is there.
Previous experiments with Huel samples doesn’t really support that. You kind of have to take your chances with it. If you went into a restaurant you had never been in before and have a kind of food you’d never tried before – you wouldn’t ask them to try a few mouthfuls before you commit to buying a full meal
The simplest options with the powders is to try the neutral flavoured ones first - like Vanilla or Original. At least that way, if you don’t like the taste, you can modify it by adding flavours you like, or if you don’t like the texture – use it as a base in blended smoothies or even ice cream – I’ve done that before and it works really well, so there would be little to no reason to waste it if you don’t like it ‘as is’.
I find that buying a whole bag or ‘bundle’ (such as a pack of however many instant separate meals come in a pack) can be awkward when you need to be cautious with certain ingredients for various reasons.
I was unable to easily use all the single packs of the individual flavour I tried, and had to modify it (sieving the pot and using the powder to season packets of unflavoured noodles and giving the seeds to my husband to put in soups
agreed.
gave one portion to BF, hated it, wtf is this level.
fast forward 2 years, wanted to become healthy, he went through one bag of BE. first day, same, second day, same, third day he started to get the hang of it. also his stomach.
To save this happening in the future of course the answer would be samples I know but in the short term you can find all the ingredients on our page. This can allow you to dive into a product before you purchase it if this is something that could work for you?
reading the ingredients isn’t always as easy as it might be. And sometimes it isn’t clear what form the dried veg might be: whether or not it is possible to actually separate out the unwanted bits from the acceptable.
When it comes to specific problems with ingredients we have a fantastic team here who can answer all your questions and help find the right products that work for you?
