On winning the 2023 Naturally Good Award, Buderim Bioactive Ginger Plus Product Manager Millie Mae says: “Winning the 2023 Naturally Good Award has not only been a huge honour but a pivotal moment for our brand. The award has amplified our presence in the functional beverage space, opening many doors to partnerships and new distribution channels. We’ve always believed in the power of our product as a natural and safe remedy, and this award has resonated that belief to a wider audience. It created trust from both our partners and consumers and overall increased our brand’s reputation. As a fairly new brand on the market, this has been very important. Naturally we have seen growth, both in sales and brand loyalty, however, this award has propelled us further in our mission to make ginger’s natural benefits accessible and enjoyable to all.
“Thank you, Naturally Good Awards, for recognising our dedication to health and wellness. We are passionate about providing our customers with natural solutions that truly make a difference in their lives”, she said.
