You want your customers to like it and you want it to work well for your business model. But, there’s no cookie-cutter way to create a great strategy.

During any given shopping trip, consumers can be exposed to thousands of products on the shelf. As you can imagine, this often triggers intense decision fatigue, described as the “feeling of being too tired to make choices and wanting, instead, to opt for the familiar.” While Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies have already become successful in developing heuristics through traditional packaging and design, there’s an on-pack factor that’s become ever more popular: third-party certifications
