containers Inventions That Save Lives

I just returned from speaking at an invention show on how to package your invention to sell. I saw a lot of great, innovative products that had a lot of merit. Some of them could become the next, new, "hot" buyer product. However, what struck me the most was that every person focused on what they were developing not either it would appeal to the consumer. They seemed to even ignore a buyer need for their product.

I watched American creator while I was in away and that same judgment was reinforced. Population invented things that had in fact no store potential whatsoever. Not matter how clever, catchy or innovative the containers might be to lure the buyer into the purchase, it can't save these inventions from an unmitigated disaster.

It got me to thinking about unfulfilled or unmet needs of the consumer. These are needs that we all face -- either we know it or not. How does the package play a role in satisfying a buyer need or creating buyer satisfaction?

Look at the growth of the ready or ready to eat market. All these new food products have been developed because the containers allows the goods to be created. Without the package, the goods couldn't even exist. The consumer's lack of time is a major unfulfilled need and buyer goods fellowships are creating products that address that demand

Take an everyday item such toothpaste. Where would we be without the package? Consumers never even think about why that goods package was created and how it works to contain and dispense the goods while retention it sanitary. The toothpaste tube fulfilled a need.

The next great wave of containers innovation/inventions will come from problems not yet resolved or ones that haven't hit the buyer awareness button. Be aware of issues such as security and integrity of the products we buy and consume. Look at all the modern flourish of goods recalls and contamination issues: pet food, peanut butter, coarse everyday items that could kill you or your pet. Are consumers getting worried and paying attention? You bet! Just from the pet food issue alone there has been a slow down of pet food sales and an onslaught of Population making homemade pet food.

Getting back to toothpaste, have you read about the Chinese counterfeit toothpaste that is here in the Us? It's quite definite (according to what I saw in the news) that by seeing at the containers (misspellings and so on) that it's not a legitimate goods (that is only definite if you read the package, of course). The warning signals are there for the buyer to see. But what if the containers looks general and the goods inside is contaminated? In the next wave of innovation, the package may tell us if the goods is bad, contaminated or counterfeit. Seriously, the package may talk, change colors, or do a myriad of other things to clue the buyer to be wary.

A containers company just sent me this incredible statistic. "Product tampering at the retail level is growing at more than 13 percent each year." That's scary. So, what is your containers innovation that could nip that in the bud or prove that the goods had been tampered with before the buyer purchased it? That is a huge an unmet need. It is an foremost one because most consumers don't identify until it's too late. Remember the Tylenol poisonings? That created havoc, after the fact. It created a whole new type of goods containers "tamper-evident."

So think about time to come buyer issues. goods security is going to continue to grow. We have just seen the beginning of the consumer's awareness to it. Can you create a containers innovation that will inspire trust and create peace of mind? Think about the untapped store potential and occasion for the next containers invention that can save lives.
