The San Antonio Spurs are one of the oldest teams in the NBA that has somehow managed to fight for championships year after year in a game that emphasis young talent.    Somehow, despite having one of the older rosters in the league the Spurs rank first with the least games missed to injury.

Their secret may finally be out of the bag!  The answer may just be cold pressed juice.

Spurs staff creates special cold-press drinks for their players to help with fatigue and the injury process.  Kawhi Leonard, who is currently having an MVP caliber season, has a custom juice made by Spurs staff named “Kawhi-Zilla”.  The drink includes flavors including strawberry, lemon and chia seed.  LaMarcus Aldridge, a perennial all-star has a concoction of including pineapple, orange, strawberry and spinach.

Aldridge, a perennial all-star, who came over from the TrailBlazers two years ago says his former team, “did some things for extra nutrition, but we didn’t do the whole cold-pressed juice thing like this.”  The advantage of cold-press juice when compared to centrifugal juicers is that cold press juicers maintain much more of the essential nutrients.  This is because cold-press juicers don’t use heat or blades which destroy the essential nutrients of the juice, but instead use pressure which maintains the integrity of these essential nutrients.

It is easy to see how the Spurs use cold-press juice as a first line of defense against fatigue and injury.  Point guard Patty Mills says, “It’s nutrients, veggies, fruits, you know, to replenish what you’ve spent out on the court.”

Get with the trend with our newest and smallest cold-press juicer, the FS 8.5 Countertop Juicer which makes cold-press juice easier then ever!  Call (1-800-997-5352) or e-mail (info@drinkfreshlysqueezed.com) us to learn more!

To succeed in the juicing industry it is a must to be aware of the newest juicing trends to gain incite on your customers, and how you can adjust to improve sales. Here the Freshly Squeezed shortlist of important trends to be aware of:

1) Unmixed-variety-specific juicing concoctions a big hit in Europe.
In Germany over 25% of respondents over 16 said they purchased juice made from specific fruit varieties, because of the perception they are buying high quality products with a traceable source. For example Amecke has a “My Favorite Apple” line which includes unmixed varieties of Golden Delicious and Cripps Pinks apple juices.

2) Juicing carrots? Your leftovers may be the next big fiber!
Scientist at Brandies University have found that dried carrot pomace – the pulp left after juicing the vegetable could be used as a fiber in food production. Studies show that it provided the benefits of fiber without common problems, like indigestion.
http://www.fooddive.com/news/carrot-byproduct-may-be-the-next-big-fiber/424215/

3) “Homemade” and creative mixes are bringing new sales
“Beverages carrying the title “homemade” increased 15 percent on limited-service restaurant menus during the 12 months that ended in November, according to market research firm Datassential. The growth in these drinks since 2012 is 46 percent.”

4) 3 trends to watch in the 100% juice market
Favorite tastes are always changing from year to year as well as a greater consumer knowledge of the roll and source of sugar in products. How can juicers adjust their strategy?

In earlier editions of Steps for a Successful Juice Bar we covered Buying a Juicer 1st Edition and A Well Displayed Product 2nd Edition.  In this 3rd edition  we will cover the importance of a properly trained staff.

A well-trained and professional staff is important to the success of any business and essential to any juicing business.  It requires a little bit of an investment of time and energy, but having a training plan can have major effects on your bottom line.

A well trained staff knows how to get the most out of your machine

This includes both extending the life of the machine and getting higher yields from your produce.   A broken machine can be a big expense in parts and service and lead to lost profits in dead time.  From our experience up to 90% of broken equipment comes from user error, which can be prevented.

• * Most machines come with user manuals. This should come with any juicer you buy and it is important to make sure everyone who uses the machine is knowledgeable in the manual.
• * See if you can get a live demo for hands on experience on the proper use of your machine. YouTube videos can also be great tools for this as well.  We keep our YouTube channel packed with important videos of demos and proper use of almost all of our equipment.
• * Some equipment requires regular service (for example Nutrifaster & Sammic CKE machines need regular blade sharpening, belts can wear out on most machines). Don’t hesitate to ask what these regular maintenance routines are, and make sure to set regular reminders as they can lead to major problems if ignored.
• * Know your warranty – most new machines come with a warranty of a year or more, and even some used machines have distributor warranties.

A well trained staff can better serve your customers

A staff that is knowledgeable in your product can help promote your products in store.  If for example they can explain the health benefits of different juices on your menu it adds value to your customer.

In an earlier edition we covered what goes into the decision of what machine to buy CLICK HERE.  In this 2nd edition of “Steps for a Successful Juice Bar” we will cover how to properly display your product.  Small changes in display can have major effects on customer decisions, leading to more sales:

Displays:

These are special presentations of your products used to attract and entice your customers.  This can include signs, menus, props, and how your product is set up for sale.

They should be clearly visible, within customers
reach, clean and well lit. This is self-explanatory, but also the first step to any successful display. Make sure that your display fulfills these minimum requirements before going forward.

Keep to a theme:  If you are organic; consider a display with earthy tones complete with lush natural fruits and vegetables. Remember to stay focused on a singular theme as you do not want to be too cluttered.

Signs & menus: Figure out who your target audience is and make sure your signage speaks to them. Are they health nuts and find nutritional information important or is organic the most important thing?  Are most of your customer’s college students or business professionals?  Different customers respond better when you speak their language.  Also, make signs stand out, and use a font and size that are easy to read.

“No Barrier Access”: Remove all barriers to your product – this allows the customer to reach out touch, and feel your product, and removes unneeded steps to your customers purchasing decision. Learn more HERE.

Product:

Clear Bottles and Labels: Using clear bottles is an easy way to improve your product’s image leading to more sales.  This is because customers can see the quality of your juice first hand.  If it looks delicious and ready to eat, it will encourage customers to buy.  Remember to use labels that show your logo and use words and imagery succinctly to give the message you are trying to convey to your customers.

Show off new products, not only your best sellers: Mix it up, and try and introduce some of your regular customers to new concoctions.

Ask about our bottling and labeling options

Machines:

Make Visible: Customers love to see their product being made in front of them, it adds to the perception of freshness and makes the experience more fun. Show of your juicers whenever possible.

Keep it clean: It is always important to keep your machinery clean and in working order. Most juicers include cleaning instructions that will explain the best way to keep your product clean without damaging the equipment.

Spice up your juicer: Some juicers offer designer wraps and covers to spice up your juicer.  We offer a beautiful wrap for our Zummo Z-40 complete with your custom logo (photo on left).

The Zummo line of automatic juicers is already celebrated for its reliability and exceptional juice yield. But there’s another area where Zummo truly shines—the taste test, which is arguably the most crucial benchmark. It’s a common misconception that even the finest produce guarantees a superior juice experience. Yet, an overlooked detail is how an automatic juicer might be affecting the flavor of your juice, specifically through peel contamination. This can introduce an unwelcome bitter taste to your juice (which is far from desirable).

Zummo stands out with its innovative squeezing technology. Unique to the market, Zummo juicers feature a patented system that separates the juice from the peel right into the juice container, ensuring the juice remains untouched by the peel. This not only preserves the pure, refreshing taste of the juice but also enhances yield and extends shelf life.

We invite you to see this technology in action. Watch our video for a live demonstration and explore the product pages for more details.

Fruit infused water is the new craze in the health food world, and can be an easy cash cow for juice bars, bottling operations, restaurants, health food stores and supermarkets. This article will explain how easy it to make as well as all the benefits for your customers.

Making fruit infused water is simple!

1. 1) Use cold or room temperature, filtered water (See Apiqe water system). The same rule in juicing applies; you want to avoid any heat as it destroys essential nutrients in the fruit.
2. 2) Select the fruits you wish to use. Almost any fruit can be infused, and you can either create your own mix with your favorites or search for ideas online. Most fruits can be cut in any way, except that hard fruits should be cut thin, and leafy greens should be torn.
3. 3) Place the fruit at bottom of pitcher, and weigh the fruit down with ice. Add water and allow the fruit to “infuse” for no more than 2 hours, as after this point bacterium may start to form.

The health benefits of fruit infused water are many, making it one of the healthiest beverage choices.
Water is the most essential item in any diet. Most people are simply not getting enough. The amazing flavor and beautiful presentation help your customers get all the advantages of having enough water in your diet.

• Water makes up 60% of our bodies, and every cell needs water to function properly.
• Drinking water naturally boosts your metabolism
• Loss of just 2% of water can lead to a noticeable effect on athletic abilities
• Boosts both brain function and mood
• Helps the body flush toxins
• Helps with digestion
• Helps keep your skin looking young and healthy and slows the aging process
• Reduces muscle fatigue
• Raises metabolic rate
• Drinking water before a meal helps you feel more satiated

In addition to the many benefits of water, fruit infused water has many added benefits, including:

• Adding essential nutrients to your diet
• Gives the body more nutrients, replacing sports drinks.
• Adds great taste, which makes drinking your daily requirement of water easier

We recommend our Apiqe water system to get the high quality filtered water to start the process. The Apiqe water system uses the Actifilter Six which combines state-of-the-art mechanical separation, chemical and physical reactions to provide an effective barrier against contaminants while keeping beneficial minerals in your water intact providing refreshing and delicious drinking water. We also have alkaline options available. Talk to one of our experts to learn more!

The Zummo Z06 automatic citrus juicer is the best automatic citrus juicer on the market for small to medium juicing operations with a squeezing speed of 11 fruits per minute.  Because of its patented squeezing system, Zummo juicers ensure that the juice does not come into contact with the peel and its oils, which allow for longer shelf life, unbeatable juice taste, while producing higher yields when compared to the competition.

The Z06 is perfect for citrus fruits with a diameter of 1 3/4” – 3 1/2” which include most oranges and lemons.  However, did you know that with the small squeezing kit you can easily juice smaller fruits including limes, tangerines and smaller lemons?

The small fruit squeezing kit accessory allows for the squeezing of smaller fruits including limes, tangerines and lemon (sized 1.77”- 2.36”) with installation as easy as 1-2-3.

Offer your customers variety with the same easy mechanics of your current Z06 today!  Contact us at info@drinkfreshlysqueezed.com to learn more.

The presentation of your product and its accessibility might seem insignificant at first glance, but they play a crucial role in shaping the perceptions and actions of your customers. The importance of product display is particularly pronounced in the juice industry, where “no-barrier access” can be a game-changer.

This concept, though simple, can lead to a dramatic increase in your conversion rates and, consequently, your sales. No-barrier access means eliminating any physical impediments that stand between your customer and the product.

For instance, a door on your display case, while seemingly innocuous, necessitates an additional action on the part of the customer, which can significantly influence their decision-making process. Removing such barriers not only simplifies the buying process but also brings several key advantages:

1. It grants customers the ability to directly interact with your product. They can reach out, touch, feel, examine, shake, and even hold the product in their hands. This tactile interaction can significantly enhance the customer’s connection to the product, making them more likely to make a purchase.
2. Barriers such as doors or windows can obstruct the customer’s view through fogging, scratches, or smudges. An open display removes these visual impediments, ensuring that your product is seen in the best possible light.
3. Physical barriers can also hinder the shopping experience by making it difficult for more than one customer to access your product simultaneously. A door that only allows one person at a time to interact with your products can deter others who may not want to wait, potentially leading them to abandon the purchase altogether.
4. By eliminating these obstacles, you streamline the customer’s journey towards making a purchase, making it more convenient and appealing for them to proceed to checkout.

Creating a “no-barrier access” environment is straightforward with the use of open display cases, such as those offered in the Infrico Grab-and-Go and Air Curtain series. These units are available in a variety of sizes and colors, with options for customization to perfectly match your brand’s aesthetic. Contact us today to speak with one of our experts and discover the ideal model to enhance your business’s display strategy.
