A great article that won't make it into this week's newsletter; your packaging can influence what people expect from your product: https://www.bentley.edu/news/tempting-more-taste-buds-how-packaging-influences-chocolate-choices

CPG Fast Track (Consumer Packaged Goods) are offering free reviews of your packaging, live in an online video. The webinar takes place on the 25th February with a recording if you can't make it live. https://riverside.com/webinar/registration/eyJzbHVnIjoibWFya3VzLWthcmphbGFpbmVucy1zdHVkaW8tQWhGdFkiLCJldmVudElkIjoiNjk3Y2FiNjU2OGFkNzczMmU1MTFmNzJhIiwicHJvamVjdElkIjoiNjk3Y2FiNjVmODNlZjZhZjYzNTFhNDRjIn0=

If, like me, you thought China was cheap because of low cost labour, have a watch of this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTy0QlkCq2o/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== (If you're in the fashion industry, check out his video on Shein products too). Another video shows how even the Chinese don't like Temu products. They call them scavenger products, made from low quality parts that don't meet the quality requirements of the reliable manufacturers.
