Why should Happy Hours Market become the Young Belgian Marketing Company of the Year?
Happy Hours Market has developed a smart solution for fighting foodwaste.
We probably all know too good to go; however Happy Hours market’s solution is unique in its kind :
- It works local : Within a selected customer area of +/- 10 km with a minimum of 20.000 habitants, a truck collects the food amongst the local food retailers
- They build a local community of Happiers who have daily access to unsold products at a 50% discount via the app or the website. People can pick up their food beyond the traditional opening hours at a given truck stop
- HHM combines environmental, economic and social value :
- Economic value : People buy food at half price and retailers receive a % of the sales
- Environmental : all collected food is either sold or donated to local charity organizations. Nothing is being lost
- Social : unsold products are given for free to individuals and families who are in need i.e. don’t have enough money for buying fresh food
- The solution is scalable via a franchising formula
- It’s a combination of BTC and BTB. HHM collects data and delivers consultancy to retailers for a smarter stock and supply management.
The Jury very much appreciated the smartness and the entrepreneurial spirit of this team.
They’ve presented their case with a lot of energy and passion.
In any case Happy Hour market is in good hands for becoming a success.
