Free and negatively priced products aren’t limited to water — they can transform entire industries, from food and transportation to EV charging, hygiene, and even cannabis. By layering advertising, data, and engagement onto everyday goods and services, companies can eliminate cost barriers and scale impact globally. This model turns essential products into platforms for revenue, philanthropy, and innovation across every sector of the economy.

BVRE and AVRE are the two core business models that make free and negatively priced products possible. BVRE uses the physical packaging itself as valuable advertising space to fund the product, while AVRE layers in digital experiences, apps, and interactions to generate additional revenue. Together, they create a powerful blueprint for making almost anything — from bottled water to premium services — free or even profitable to give away.
