YOUR WORLD....SMARTER...SAFER!

DRINK WITH YOUR HEAD

INTRODUCING EASY TO USE, DISCREET & AFFORADABLE BREATHALYZERS FOR THE CONSUMING PUBLIC. 

Introducing the SipSmart Straw.... The SipSmart Straw provides everyday people with an easy to use, safe and reliable tool that helps introduce the concept of breathalyzing every time you drink.  The goal is to help people make better decisions by letting them know when alcohol consumption has impaired their decision making.  The SipSmart Straw uses a breath sample to provide a pass-fail result when a preset blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level has been met.  They are small, discrete, inexpensive and can be carried with you anywhere you go. They can be ordered in various BAC levels – typically 0.08 in the United States and 0.05 in Canada.  

FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF YOUR NEXT DRINK ….blow into the SipSmart straw and immediately know how your alcohol consumption has affected you!  Are you over the limit? 

Purchase the Straw for your own personal use or for a gift to a family member or friend that you care about…

Always have one on hand, just in case….. 

 

Introducing the SipSmart Straw....DRINK WITH YOUR HEAD.

Our Story

For the SipSmart Straw to change the way society drinks, it needs to come out with a big splash, supported by big names and players.  We need you to join us in raising awareness and funds, so that we can bring this out in a fashion that facilitates adoption by many, so that your peers are using this when they drink. 

This is a marketing challenge – and we have the connections – but need the capital to do two things:  launch a massive social campaign that tells people this technology is cool to use, and upgrade our product and manufacturing so that we can keep our costs down at the same time.

We’ve been in the alcohol awareness business through other products for 8 years.  Always offering top end –law enforcement grade -products for the general consumer.  This has helped us! The challenge has always been price and creating demand.  Now....finally....an affordable, easy to use, discreet product is available to really make the difference!

What We Need & Why..... 

Our financial goal will allow us to focus on two key issues.  

First we need to be able to bring the SipSmart Straw technology to market at a reasonable selling price to our customers.  And that takes capital to improve the technology and ready it for mass production.  

Secondly and of equal importance we need to build awareness to the consuming public about both our product...the SipSmart Straw and our mascot.  

We want everyone to become familiar with the SipSmart mascot.  Every time anywhere you see this it will remind you to "Drink with your Head". 

What You Get....

You get to be the trend setters – taking part of a changing social movement that alters peoples perceptions about how they make decisions after they have been drinking.  You will be among the first users of the SipSmart Straw!  You get to tell all of your friends and family about the best new technology coming to market.....  AND...you get great perk packages full of supplies and accessories to help you spread the word about how to "Drink with your head".  The more funds raised, the sooner we will be able to get to market in a large way at a price we all can afford!  

 The Impact 

It goes without saying that a world without the fallout of drinking and driving will be a vastly happier and safer place.  The old adage of "Just say no" isn't enough anymore.  We believe that educating those that consume alcohol through technology is the only solution!  We live in a world where the two largest industries are beverage alcohol and hospitality.  These industries employ many of our family and friends.  Alcohol is the part of many people’s everyday lives. 

The SipSmart Community brings all stakeholder groups together to support educating consumers on responsible drinking: beverage providers, servers, consumers, police agencies, advocates against drunk driving. 

The SipSmart Community gives people the tools – and really cool ones we might add – to know how what they drank affects them no matter where they choose to drink.  Better yet, we give everyone who joins the SipSmart Community the power to become part of the game-changing solution to eliminate drunk driving.

We believe the answer lies in educating people delivered through an affordable and accessible medium....technology – the SipSmart Straw!!
