Win-Win for Adagio Teas is that they created a useful tool for their customers that compliments their product line.
Secondly they get valuable insight on the timer users preferences through the sign up process. They they will be able to build a focused list to offer rewards to "customers" or incentives to "not-yet-customer", timer users
I wonder if they take the timer one step further by tracking which tea types are being timed and by whom, creating further "by customer" intelligence to offer customer specific incentives, suggestions and offers based on their tastes?
