PUTTING PACKAGING AT THE HEART OF YOUR NPD
On October 10th were staging an essential seminar: Putting Packaging At The Heart Of Your NPD.
As you know many new products fail because they just don’t get the trial [let alone the repeat purchase] to reach the sales hurdle rate.
New product introductions [both in-store and off-screen] are all about try me and buy me …. again and again, and we have to be way ahead of the pack to stand any chance of success.
So the theme of the day will be how really good packaging can create tomorrow’s iconic products to deliver sales over and over and over again.
We will deep-dive into newer brands like Illy Espresso and Pom as well as familiar brands such as Ferrero and Absolut to see how to create visual equities that sell and sell.
We’ll be hearing directly from the marketers at Cravendale, Birdseye, Cold Press and others about how they created award winning innovations using a killer combination of packaging and process, and one of the world’s busiest packaging expert Andrew Streeter of Datamonitor Pack-Track has agreed to chair our meeting.
He’s drawn together a top team of gurus and case studies to motivate and inspire us.
