IBWA: THE VOICE OF THE BOTTLED WATER INDUSTRY The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) is the authoritative voice on all issues concerning the bottled water industry and the leading resource for bottled water information and facts. Founded in 1958, IBWA’s membership includes U.S. and international bottlers, distributors, and suppliers. IBWA works with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates bottled water as a packaged food product, and state governments to set stringent standards for safe, high-quality bottled water products. Since 1961, IBWA’s bimonthly magazine Bottled Water Reporter has been delivering to its readers bottled water industry-specific articles that educate and inspire. Bottled Water Reporter is the only trade magazine in the United States that exclusively targets the bottled water industry. That means when you advertise in Bottled Water Reporter your products and services are seen by the buyers and decision makers in the bottled water industry. IBWA also offers e-advertising on its revised Online Buyers’ Guide (www.bottledwater.org/buyersguide) and its weekly e-newsletter, IBWA News Splash.

Word-of-mouth recommendations on the Internet, both good and bad, have the potential to go viral, elevating—or harming—your business. Research has shown that what people say about your business online has a direct impact on your bottom line. For example, the star ratings that consumers can anonymously provide on the Internet can drive your revenue up or down, according to new research published by the Harvard Business School. In Reviews, Reputation, and Revenue: The Case of Yelp.com, author Michael Luca notes that a one star rating increase on the review website Yelp will lead to a 5 to 9 percent increase in revenue.

Americans Drink Up!
• Bonus distributions occur three times a year at IBWA’s Annual Business Meeting and Trade Show, the IBWA Winter Board and Committees Meeting, and the IBWA June Board and Committees Meeting.
Drink Up—the collaboration between the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) and PHA Honorary Chair Michelle Obama, which IBWA has been an active supporter of since its September 2013 launch—continues to encourage consumers to drink more water more often. Last December, Drink Up hosted its first Twitter chat with Sam Kass from Let’s Move!, New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson, and many Drink Up supporters—including IBWA. The chat focused on the health benefits of drinking water and the importance of staying hydrated, especially during the winter months. For 2014, Drink Up has many exciting events planned. Last February, the campaign participated in two high energy promotions: Sweaty Saturday, 6

which brought together New York City’s finest fitness studios, health brands, and wellness experts to offer nutritional advice, and the kickoff of Taking Back the Streets, a year-long celebration of street art in honor of Drink Up. WAT-AHH!, a kid-focused bottled water brand, launched Taking Back the Streets as a national art campaign that intends to reclaim the space where kids live by replacing the information and visual stimulation that bombards them every day with new messages about healthy hydration. From March 12-14, the PHA will hold its “Building a Healthier Future Summit,” a gathering for leaders working to end childhood obesity. This event provides business and industry representatives the

opportunity to network with their nonprofit, academic, and government counterparts and discuss “actionable solutions that will help to make the healthy choice the easy choice.” (PHA is offering IBWA members a 15 percent discount to attend the Summit. To register, visit, ahealthieramerica.org/summit/ registration, select “Attendee” under registration type, and then choose the “Trade Association Registrant” option and enter “IBWATADISC1”.) In addition, Drink Up merchandise is now available online via a new Amazon store launched by the PHA. This store will carry Drink Up logo glasses, as spotted in the Oval Office (see photo at left), water bottles, filters, bottled water, and other products sold by more than a dozen Drink Up supporters. A portion of all proceeds will go towards supporting the PHA and its Drink Up initiative. To purchase, go to http:// astore.amazon.com/yoarwhyodr0b-20. If you are promoting healthy hydration on your company’s social media platforms (and you should be) and looking for examples of healthy hydration messages to share, type #URH2O or #DrinkH2O in the search field on Twitter.com and review the other posted tweets. IBWA members can also email water@ahealthieramerica.org to learn how to become a supporter of the Drink Up initiative.
