Real users. Real decoded moments. In their own words.
When you tap Bought / Put back / Just looking in the KiP app, you produce a data point. When you tell us the story behind that tap — what you were looking at, what you saw, what you decided, what your family said — you produce something stronger than data. KiP Stories is where those stories live.
Coming soon — the inaugural stories.
What a KiP Story looks like
Each story follows the same shape: a plain-language headline (KiP / SaK voice), the user’s own quoted words about what happened, the product they scanned with traffic-light data, what they switched to (when relevant) with a link to the I500 Shop Directory entry if the alternative came from an independent shop, attribution (first name + neighbourhood + condition profile by the user’s preference), and a permanent dated permalink that never changes.
Stories are opt-in only. We never feature a user’s story without their explicit consent. The user’s own words are preserved verbatim within the story body — no founder-rewrite, no canonical-voice overlay on the user’s testimony. Anonymity options range from full name + neighbourhood, through first-name-only + neighbourhood, to fully anonymous + region. Whatever the user chooses.
Stories are removed on one-tap request via a “Remove my story” link on each story page. No archive of removed stories. Per the privacy posture.
Tell us about a moment KiP changed what you bought.
We’re not looking for marketing testimonials. We’re looking for honest accounts of the moment a KiP scan made you stop and decide differently — or didn’t, and you bought it anyway and want to tell us why. Both are useful. Stories about products you put back AND stories about products you bought are equally valuable.
By submitting, you confirm you’re willing to be contacted to confirm publication, that the story is yours, and that you consent to it being published on scansmart.uk under the attribution preferences you selected. We’ll come back within 5 business days.
