Prototype mobile commercial cold immersion tub unit
EF 2024-25 · 2025-01-02
Résumé
The cold immersion product market is growing quickly, as is the competitive landscape. Many outdoor wellness events and athlete-related activities are prime marketing opportunities for cold immersion and other wellness products (e.g., consumer sampling, sales engagements, brand exposure). Public events require the use of commercially compliant tubs to ensure the health and safety of each user. Currently, there are no commercially-compliant mobile tubs available on the market. We will be the first in Canada, possibly in North America. This prototype will be used a) to test the market; b) to provide grass roots sales and marketing opportunities for IWBC; and c) provide another revenue stream for the company.

Description (French)
Le marché des produits d’immersion froide connaît une croissance rapide, tout comme le paysage concurrentiel. De nombreux évènements de mieux-être en plein air et activités liées aux athlètes sont des opportunités de marketing de premier ordre pour les produits d’immersion froide et autres produits de mieux-être (par exemple, échantillonnage auprès des consommateurs, engagements de vente, exposition de la marque). Les évènements publics nécessitent l’utilisation de baignoires conformes aux normes commerciales pour assurer la santé et la sécurité de chaque utilisateur. Actuellement, il n’existe pas de baignoires mobiles conformes aux normes commerciales sur le marché. Nous serons les premiers au Canada, voire en Amérique du Nord. Ce prototype sera utilisé a) pour tester le marché ; b) pour offrir des débouchés de vente et de marketing à l’IWBC ; et c) pour fournir une autre source de revenus à l’entreprise.
