Flow Debuts Augmented Reality Mirrors At Expo West

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Flow Alkaline Spring Water, the premium alkaline wellness water brand, launches unique augmented reality mirrors as part of their innovative in-store demonstration program. The technology, powered by memomi , will be the first of its kind in the grocery space. 

The experience will bring to life Flow’s summer campaign of the “Superpower of Alkalinity” and help allow consumers tap into their own super powers. The interactive AR experience with customized memomi Memory Mirrors® will track the customer’s face to add super power illustrations that coincide with Flow’s original alkaline spring water or one of the brand’s six organic flavors to create an immersive experience that can then be shared on social media. 

“What inspired me first and foremost to incorporate the technology into our product experience was our five million customers,” says Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder & CEO of Flow Alkaline Spring Water. “We hear all the time from them how amazing our super water makes people feel and wanted to bring that feeling to life in a fun way.” 

At in-store demonstrations, the team on the ground often takes photos and records the customer’s thoughts on the product and it’s been a source of data and inspiration for Flow. The brand wanted to deepen that experience for our customer and add a new element of excitement into an otherwise routine trip to the grocery store. At the same time, the brand can learn more about our customer, listen to their needs, share offers and invites, and better engage with them. 

“This is the first time we have created an experience like this for a CPG company,” says Salvador Nissi Vilcovsky of memomi . “I am thrilled to see our AR technology in the grocery space and am happy that our first foray into this new endeavor will be with an innovative wellness brand like Flow Alkaline Spring Water.”

The technology will be revealed at the 2019 Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA this March and will launch in participating grocery stores with Flow product demonstrations in May 2019. 

Flow naturally alkaline spring water is of the highest quality and is sourced from a family-owned artesian spring in South Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. The water comes from a limestone aquifer where it naturally collects healthful, essential minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium that give the water an alkaline pH of 8.1 to keep the body in optimal hydration. Flow’s water comes straight from the earth into the package, no industrial processing necessary. 

Flow recently launched the first organic flavored premium alkaline water to the market. The 100% naturally alkaline certified-organic flavor options are ideal for consumers looking for optimal hydration and amazing taste. Six refreshing flavors are now available: Cucumber + Mint, Lemon + Ginger, Strawberry + Rose and Watermelon + Lime, and new for 2019, Grapefruit + Elderflower and Blackberry + Hibiscus.
