Herbal Purpose

Brands that offer indoor planters enhance their purpose, and therefore value

Implications - Indoor planters are being designed with alternative or added purposes that go beyond simply growing herbs. Whether specially curated cocktail herbs or designed to boost the mood of users, the incorporation of added value to such products offers a point of distinction in an oversaturated market.
Workshop Question - How could your brand add a higher purpose to one of its products/services?
