Episode 139: Should I Change My Packaging? ["Is It Worth It, Charlie?" Series]

Welcome to a new style of episode on the Food Biz Wiz® podcast: our “Is It Worth It, Charlie?” series! In today’s show, Charlie helps Karine, the founder of My Guiltless Treats, decide whether or not it’s worth it to change her packaging size.


Tune in to hear them talk through:

🛒 What does Karine NEED to know about her product, pricing & consumer in order to make this decision?

🛒 Where are there new channel opportunities for Karine?

🛒 What things are there to consider around pricing as she thinks through a new size?

🛒 Will she cannibalize her sales if she changes her pack size and price?

At the end of this show, you’ll hear Karine exclaim that she is “mind-blown!” as she gains clarity during her conversation with Charlie. We’re so happy that she came to a conclusion on whether or not it’s “worth it!”

To keep in touch with Karine, find My Guiltless Treats® on their website here, or on Instagram here.

➡️ From there, come join the convo around co-packing in the Food Biz Wiz® private Facebook group.
