Blog 3 - Question 4

I couldn't think of many brands that offer both natural and conventional OTC products, however, I do think Fleet brand still makes natural enemas, which I have used before.   I know standard Fleet Enemas have a lot of chemicals in them that aren't good for you to use frequently.  The Fleet Natural product was comparable to conventional Fleet enemas and was cost comparable.  I'm not sure that Fleet still makes natural enemas since I haven't seen them in stores recently, but this was an example of a natural product that I have actually tried from a conventional OTC company.    Since Fleet is mostly known as a conventional brand, I think it adds value to the the brand to have natural options.

    Thanks! Can you tell me a little more about what kind of value it adds to the Fleet brand to also offer a natural version? For example: By offering natural versions of its products, Fleet is able to ___... do what?

      I think it shows that Fleet is aware of its customer base and their needs, but that they also understand that customer's needs can change as they become more aware of chemical ingredients in products. By offering natural versions of its products, Fleet is able to expand its product base and appeal to customers searching for more natural ingredients.

Blog 4 - Question 1

I definitely think vitamins and supplements are especially appropriate to buy as a natural product because I believe they are better fortified to nourish the body versus those that are more conventional.   I try to buy natural vitamins as often as I can (and if I can afford it). I'm not sure that any healthcare categories are least appropriate to have natural options.  I think it is good for all healthcare categories to offer some kind of natural options for those who may be sensitive to ingredients in the standard OTC products or just want to use a more holistic approach to their health.

Blog 4 - Question 5

I am a big fan of the idea of the Natural Whole Body Care products listed...  I like that the ingredients include 'time tested' ingredients made to support the body AND mind.   The Herbal Stress Support stood out to me as the one I would most want to try.  I would also be curious to try the herbal sleep aid as sometimes I have trouble with insomnia, but I don't want to take heavy duty OTC sleep medicine. A.   If this came from a new brand, I would definitely be open to try it as long as it wasn't too expensive.  I would probably try one of the products (probably the stress relief formula) to see how it worked before trying the other ones.   I suppose coming from a new brand that isn't established, I would be curious to try the product and/or search for reviews online or ask my friends if they have tried them. B.    I don't know that I could see One A Day doing a whole all natural, holistic line like this or if I would support i...

Blog 3- Question 5

In CVS, I found the natural products mixed in with the conventional products - the natural cold medicine mixed in with the conventional cold medicine, the natural laxatives mixed in with the conventional laxatives, etc.  I would prefer that all the natural medicines be located in one section together and not mixed in with the conventional OTC products.  To me, it makes finding all natural products simpler as it can be a bit of a scavenger hunt finding the all natural products when they are mixed  in with the conventional ones.
