Packaged Emotional Fulfillment

The Flow Market Canned Intangible Needs Provide Inner Peace

— October 15, 2012 — Art & Design
Money can now buy you happiness with the Canned Intangible Needs by Flow Market. With these cans of immaterial emotional fulfillment, you can purchase things like trust, unconditional love, shamelessness, inner peace and self-esteem.

Such empowering and uplifting needs tend to require a lot of self-discovery and emotional maturity in order to acquire them. They are not simply things you can purchase at the supermarket, as they are not tangible items that can be bought or sold. However, everyone could benefit from having the confidence and happiness derived from such immaterial things as the "courage to fail" and the "courage to be me."

While they may be empty, the Canned Intangible Needs remind people of the important aspects of happiness.
Trend Themes
1. Canned Intangible Needs - The demand for canned intangible needs provides an opportunity for businesses to tap into the market of emotional fulfillment.

3. Immaterial Emotional Fulfillment - The rise of immaterial emotional fulfillment highlights the potential for businesses to create unique experiences and offerings that focus on emotional well-being.
Industry Implications

3. Personal Development - The personal development industry has an opportunity to provide resources and tools for individuals seeking to enhance their emotional maturity and self-discovery through immaterial emotional fulfillment.
