August 28, 202512:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Join DFW CPG for our upcoming Huddle — ” Stop Guessing, Start Knowing: How Real-Time Consumer Validation Can Protect Your CPG Brand from Costly Mistake.”

You’re gearing up to launch a new product. Your team is pumped. Your investors are on board. But here’s the million-dollar question:

Will consumers actually buy it?

Too many CPG founders have learned—painfully—that enthusiasm alone doesn’t guarantee success. When a “sure thing” flops, it’s often because they skipped one critical step: asking real consumers what they think.

Laurie Klein from 1Q will show you how to get fast, affordable, and actionable consumer feedback—without bots, delays, or bloated research budgets. In this session, you’ll learn:

🎯 How to get real-time consumer insights without the cost and delays of traditional market research
🎯 Why consumer validation matters before you invest in inventory, production and marketing
🎯 Real examples from CPG brands using instant feedback to pivot, refine, and succeed
🎯 How 1Q’s platform works – easily validate your product concept, name, flavors, packaging, in store presence and marketing.
🎯 With 1Q, you get 100% human responses, zero survey fraud, and a simple pay-per-response model with no long-term contracts or upfront costs. Want to ask 200 people a question? It’s just $200. Most surveys close in under two hours—so you get answers fast enough to act.

Whether you’re launching a new product, tweaking packaging, exploring new flavors, or validating a bold idea, this is your chance to stop relying on gut instinct and start making data-backed decisions.

Bottom line: You can stop betting your business on hunches. Learn how to validate and optimize with consumers before you invest.
