Verb Energy recently rebranded and revised its product line, introducing a fresh new look and ingredient list that now appeals to urban Millennials and women rather than college students.
While Verb Energy sold bars in the past, the newly refreshed range now focuses on bites, which provide as much as much caffeine as a shot of espresso. The 90-calorie energy bites are free from artificial ingredients and boast a simple ingredient base of organic green tea caffeine, gluten-free oats and organic quinoa crisps. The Verb Energy bites are offered in three flavors: Salted Peanut Butter, Simply Cocoa and Maple Blueberry.
In order to better connect with its target demographic, Verb Energy is now using a text-to-order platform that allows it to directly communicate with customers.
