Companies are looking for unique ways to resonate with consumers and keep their brands relevant. Limited edition offerings and packaging stimulates appeal, renews anticipation, and increases desirability. By employing this strategy, brands can tap into consumer’s emotions surrounding a time of year, nostalgic scent, a charity, or a need for exclusivity. These offerings and designs solidify a long-term connection with customers by keeping the brand alive, fresh and memorable, while also delivers the potential to drive incremental sales and introduce their products to new consumers.
