Brands and consumers alike are searching for the next best solution that will change the way make up is applied. Innovation is a term that is used frequently to describe the latest, cool product.
Brands are searching for key differentiators that will set them apart and make a connection with the consumer. As we are looking for trends that pave the innovation path for 2013, there are different ways to engage the consumer.
NPD Group reports growth in the industry as highlighted in their recent 2013 Beauty Prediction report. Premium products are expected to be on the rise, particularly in fragrance, make up and skincare. Consumers are also looking for “lower cost options, items offering fun and fashion. Brands are trying to win gains by offering novelty, innovative packaging and new application methods.”
Color is a great way to make a difference – designing something that will appeal to various audiences. Tying seasonality and incorporating ‘hot’ media trends into the product design is another great way to gain consumer interest. Brands often try to expand their reach by creating unique products that make an emotional connection.
As reported in the Beauty Packaging article, On-Trend Packaging in 2013, it is reported that “packaging is being utilized to draw attention to products.” Creating a distinction through packaging can set a brand apart in the marketplace.
