The blueprint for your value product.
| Parameter | Recommendation | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Material | High-density, thick-walled PETG or Acrylic plastic | Addresses the negative sentiment of products feeling like cheap plastic. This material mimics the weight and clarity of glass, providing a premium feel that exceeds expectations at a value price point, as customers appreciate durable materials. |
| Capacity | 5ml and 8ml options | Balances portability with usability. While 3ml-5ml is common, offering a slightly larger 8ml option caters to users who want a bit more product without being 'too bulky for smaller purses', a noted pain point for larger sizes. |
| Dispensing Mechanism | Leak-proof, fine-mist atomizer with a screw-on cap and an included mini-funnel | Directly addresses the critical failure of leakage and the frustration of difficult refilling. A fine-mist is a noted positive feature, and including a funnel provides a simple solution to a major negative insight, enhancing user experience. |
| Leak-Proofing | Silicone gasket seal in cap and precision-threaded closure | A reliable, leak-proof design is a primary driver of customer satisfaction and trust. This dual-seal approach provides extra security against spillage, a major pain point. |
| Packaging | Individually sealed in a protective polybag within a small, sturdy cardboard box | Customers highly value secure packaging that prevents transit damage. This ensures a positive first impression and reduces returns due to scratches or cracks. |
| Color Accuracy | Utilize Pantone-matched colors with strict QC against approved samples | Solves the common complaint of color discrepancies between online photos and the actual product, preventing customer dissatisfaction. |
