I've got a couple MRPs in the works and I was wondering what type of packaging you preferred... There are pros and cons to both. Let me know what you think!

I've been advised by some who have a great deal experience working for some of the biggest supplement companies out there that packets are a must, or else "laypeople" won't accept them as a meal replacement, as opposed to just a protein powder.[b said:Quote[/b] (mikeynov @ April 29 2003,1:28)]8-->

the only thought is that packets might have a more marketable appeal to laypeople though...maybe.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]I guess that no matter what we prefer, and no matter what others tell you, you should probably choose the packaging that sells better. Most online stores have a list with their top-10 products, so if the market says 'packets' then it's a no-brainer.
Yeah, I think it’s feasible. Maybe not right at the beginning, but later I think it would. I will probably go with bottles at first...seems to be what you guys would like. Then packets later just for convenience. Packets cost quite a bit more to produce simply because of the extra packaging involved.[b said:Quote[/b] (Lil Popa Pump @ May 08 2003,1:55)]Don't some companies do both?
Packets for the less informed and jugs for those who care to read the labels.
Seems like I have seen a company or two do it this way, but I cannot remember who....Optimum, maybe?
Is that feasible for you?
