working out. Most people that I spoke to were educated about the benefits of antioxidants on the body. Many women knew about the benefits of the anti-aging process and for those that didn’t, I was able to properly educate them about oxidative stress and anti-aging benefits.” Matt, New Mexico gym
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
• Cool / fun product – requesting more and more – Chico State
• “One girl had a 13 mile race one day and she had been doing a week of endulgence prior. She was worried she would not do well in the race, so (Kip) gave her a few packs. Turner out she did great and credits Rebootizer for her success.” – Kip, Oklahoma State
• Love the logo!“People that experienced Rebootizer on SWAT (spring break sponsorship) LOVED the product and were really happy to see (Alon) with it!” – SDSU, Alon

• Many people forget to consume the packet because you are supposed to drink it right before bed. – UCLA
• Pouches bursting in mail • “One girl told a guy not to drink the sample I gave him because
it tasted horrible. She said it was one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted. I tried to be nice and talk to her about her negative experience with it, and tried to stop her from spreading negative ideas.” – Lindsey, CU Boulder

it.” – UCLA, Daniel• More promo items – specifically sunglasses! – CU Boulder• Make Rebootizer apparel more fashionable – CU Boulder• “Get an iPad with the internet so we can place orders immediately from
the location where we talk to the customers, and it also looks professional and boosts the company’s credibility.” – Lindsey, CU Boulder

the morning! – New Mexico

TASTE
• “Though many people that didn’t like the taste of it still are believers of what it does and would buy the product.” – Brian, Boise State
