Insight
The consumer insight behind the Canned Nootropic trend
For consumers, accessibility is a key factor in the purchase decisions they make. Whether that's in cost or in understanding a product, consumers are less likely to test out a new item unless the products they're being sold contain familiar elements or enhancements. Introducing products to a broader consumer base involves addressing needs--like the promise of lifestyle enhancements--but also ensuring that the product experience is something that most would be able to enjoy.
