Description
We created a unique label that helps to rapidly cool the beer in an effortless way. To develop it we used a special absorbent paper to which we included a specific amount of salt. Thanks to its particular physical properties the salt turns out to be a crystal that absorbs heat. Therefore when placing a wet bottle of Mr. Monk in the freezer, it reacts and absorbs the heat.
Execution
To manufacture Mr. Monk’s Cooling Label we boiled a solution that contained 230 grams of salt for every liter of water during 20 minutes. We waited for the water to cool down to place the already printed special absorbent labels. We soaked them for 10 minutes to ensure that the particles of salt were absorbed. After this process they are left to dry at room temperature and then they are manually placed in each bottle. Once a bottle of Mr. Monk is bought just wet it and place it in the freezer. In icy environment the water acts as a transmitter between the bottle and the label, the salt reacts and absorbs the heat around, that in our case is the liquid inside the bottle. Thus the beer cools in a much faster way.
Outcome
Thanks to this idea the brand experienced a great awareness growth. Brand’s perception has improved significantly and it is now seen as young and innovative. We received hundreds of product request through the web site, not only from consumers but also from large supermarkets’ chains. We managed to position Mr. Monk as a real alternative to industrial brands. But what’s most important, with a minimum investment we were able to cool the beer 35% faster than other brands.
