š« whatās everyone elseās thoughts on this?
I honestly feel a lot better since I had this little rant to myself in the car š
recognising how weāve got to where we are and our constant chase for the consumers attention.
It WAS easier back in the day when there was so much to go after, everything was so new and uncharted and the consumer was hungry (literally) for these new convenience products that would make life so much easier, and hello Chicken Kiev!
And now? The consumer is hungry for convenience which is whacky, crazy and share-worthy & will give them a story to tell (and something for us to all talk about too š
!)
When I say it was easier I donāt mean it was easier to launch products, that was harder as it was all so new but identifying the consumer need was more obvious, the world has gone slightly mad (possible understatement?!) so we are all seeking more fun and things that cheer us up, I get it, but anyone else feel like itās going to far? And at what cost, i dont believe thee products are setting the world alight from a commercial perspective and I fear wastage is very high, so, what is it acheiving?
