Period Products—The New, the Old, and the Old-New
Wednesday, October 25th, 11 am EDT
Heidi Beatty, CEO, Crown Abbey, LLC
This webinar will be a deep dive into Period Products, looking at the technologies as well as the change in attitudes that have driven the industry, to enable us develop better products for the future.
Looking at this fascinating category from the eyes of Product Development, what can the past teach us about the future? Traditionally, it was challenging to innovate in a ‘silent’ category, when no one wanted to talk about period products.
For the future, how can the latest fibers, formats and consumer trends all fit together to build a Product Roadmap for your brand?
Which products being used today are an echo from previous generations? …what we refer to as the “Old-New.”
Have we done enough to break down the taboos around Periods, and what more can we do?
- Innovating in this changing category
- Are companies doing enough to break the Historical Taboos around Periods?
- Using past information to drive new Period Product launches for the future
