Hello,
Just a quick post to say a big thank you to you all for your custom, friendship and support!
I’ve been meaning to put this up for a little while now, but just keep running out of time!
Thanks to you guys we’ve been able this year to donate some money to Surfers Against Sewage through our 1% for the Planet membership. We also took the opportunity to match the donation with the equivalent in product for them to either distribute or use as prizes etc. for more fund raising.
Together we can help make the UK shoreline and surrounding waters clean and usable. 
So, thanks again.
Everyone @ Bio Nutrition
It’s really hard to believe, but it has now been two years since Bio Nutrition made its debut on the world wide web. Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday that I was writing a blog post to tell you all about the new site.
We’ve seen quite a few changes over the last two years, as well. Since launch day – which was actually 1 July 2008, so I’m a little late with this blog post – our main site has undergone quite a few changes, in response to feedback from customers. We’ve seen a number of changes in design, as well as changes in functionality – all of which have been done in our ongoing effort to make the site as easy to use, and simple to navigate, as possible.
We’ve also added more content to the site as we’ve gone along, to the point where now for each product there’s detailed information about what the ingredients can be used for, as well as full formulations. Buying from the site has been made as quick and simple as possible, but without sacrificing security.
Social media has also grown significantly in the last two years, and we’ve tried to keep on top of that too. Bio Nutrition has a Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/bionutrition), where we publish quick little snippets that we hope you’ll find interesting, as well as a Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/bionutrition) and a Facebook Group (www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=74207770224). Join any of these (or all of them) and you’ll also get access to exclusive discounts and special offers.
And we’re also contributing back to the world around us with our membership of the 1% For The Planet organisation. This is an initiative where member companies commit to giving 1% of their gross turnover per year to environmental causes. So by buying our products, you directly contribute to improving the world around us. This year, we’ve given our contribution to Surfers Against Sewage – being based on the sunny South Coast, clean beaches and seawater are something that we feel strongly about.
So, in all, it has been a busy two years. Roll on the next two!
Sorry to start talking about this now, but with the festive season fast approaching I thought I would just do a quick post to let you all know that we’ve now added some new functionality to our website.
From today you will be able to buy the special people in your lives a Bio Nutrition ‘Gift Certificate‘! It can be for any amount you like from £5 (even £12.62 if you like!)
They can use the whole amount in one go, or the online system can keep a track of what is used and spread the amount over several orders. It really is up to them!
So, are you stuck for a gift idea but know the person uses supplements? Why not give them a Bio Nutrition Gift Certificate and give the gift of health?
Remember, we also donate 1% of our turnover to environmental causes, through the 1% For The Planet initiative.
Happy shopping
Bio Nutrition
for the planet, that is!
You may have noticed over the past few days, maybe even week or so, that the look of the Bio Nutrition website has been changing.
This is being done to hopefully reflect our feelings toward the world in general and the environment especially, whilst maintaining a natural feeling of health and happiness.
We hope that the look ties us in nicely with our partners like 1% for the planet, and we also hope that it appeals more to our core audience, in other words you guys! We’ve spent a lot of time and effort asking you and holding focus groups on how we get across our core values and you’ll be seeing the results rolled out over the next few weeks, including new labels.
So please, tell us what you think, have we got it right or are we way off the mark? You can be assured you’ll still get our great value, high quality products and you may even see a few more being added.
We look forward to seeing Bio Nutrition moving forward as a brand and promoting health and happiness without impacting on the environment!
Thanks for all your help so far!
For those of you that have read our Green Policy you will have noticed that for the past few weeks we’ve been in the process of signing up for ‘1% For The Planet‘.
Well, finally that’s all now finished. We can display their logos and also help promote the movement!
We’re proud to be a member of the 1% For The Planet movement, which is a scheme set up to bring much needed funding to environmental projects all around the world. Every member company commits to contributing 1% of their annual turnover to the scheme. 1% may not sound like a lot, but because it’s based on turnover not profit there’s a much bigger fund to start with. For instance, a company that turns over £1 million may only make £75,000 profit; if they paid 1% of profit, they’d contribute £750 – but 1% of turnover means a contribution of £10,000!
It also means that when you place an order with us, you know exactly how much we’ll be giving to 1% For The Planet! And the scheme is fully audited and closely scrutinised so you can be sure that whenever you see the 1% For The Planet logo, 1% of the company’s turnover is going directly to help environmental projects in the UK and all over the planet.
For the first few years at least we’ve decided to make our donations to UK based schemes, but after that we are open to suggestions.
So if you have a local environmental charity we could help by making donations to, let us know. Please take into account that they must be recognised by the 1% For The Planet organisation and be registered with them. If our experience is anything to go by this is a relatively easy and painless process and could be well worth their while!
So why not help the planet and keep yourself fit and healthy?
