    Default Need some quick feedback on new NPA label

    Forum Folks,
    Please have a look at the above label template from LaCroy. They are proposing to use this for NPA from now on and want some feedback from regular users. What do you think? To my taste it is a bit too psychedelic, but if you like this style don\'t be afraid to say so. I want to know what you folks think.

    Thanks in advance,
    Bruce

    I don\'t like it either. Nothing against the American flag, but it remembers me a bit too much of the \"red, white and blue\" theme. The psychedelic thing is OK with me.

    Well, just my €0.02 [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

    I think it\'s a bit too psychedelic, too.

    Well apart from the typos...

    Maybe they could do for him/for her versions.

    It isnt that bad, think of it on the bottle. Maybe it does need calming down a bit though.

    I\'m not really sure why LaCroy feels the need to spruce up the label anyway. My experience is that the label ultimately gets wet and the writing on it tends to get smeared off fairly quickly anyway. Or, in the case of NPA, I usually tend to remove the label anyway so I can see how much product is in the bottle. So, in the end the label really doesn\'t matter to me one way or the other.

    But, with that said, I do think the background is a bit too busy for my taste. Something a bit more subtle for a background would look better to me.

    Yeah, actually, just a label on the bottom as is done with e.g. lipstick tubes would be better than all that all over the place so you can\'t see your product.

    Especially since (I believe) these products are mostly sold on line - they\'re not sold on eye appeal but for their contents. So why muck up the bottle with too much information -- tends to be indiscreet as well, many people wishing to keep their \'mone use on the DL.

    Default Thumbs Down

    Why add fake sizzle when people are looking for the steak? No one is buying this stuff for the label and this label will make few extra sales.

    That said, it could be a lot worst but I wouldn\'t be proud to show a bottle with this label to anyone. Pheromones have a credibility problem already - people think it\'s a scam or a juvenile fantasy - this label just reinforces that perception. I say make it look as technical and as scientific as possible.

    Hi Bruce:

    I think they should just keep it simple. When I first looked at it it seem like something out of a new Star Wars movie.

    My two cents

    my 2 cents,

    I agree with most of the people in this thread. Esp. USD and FTRH. FTRH\'s idea of a label at the bottom of the bottle is a better idea, I think.

    Why would they want to waste money on an elaborate label anyway ? Esp., as FTRH pointed out, since most of this stuff is sold on line.

    With that said, I, too, think the label is a bit too busy and psychadelic.

    I appreciate the effort to make the bottle more attractive and it doesn´t look bad either. However it is not very discreet is it?
    Plus NPA is an additive and is thus not normally used by itself straight from the bottle...
    Hmmmm I do have at least one other suggestion to make about NPA: I find the eye dropper very inconvenient to use and difficult to dose I would much more prefer very thin/small pipettes/dropper like AE now has too.

    One other thing too I reckon products shouldn´t be labelled with `for men` or `attracts men /women´ etc it´s very misleading and incorrect. And I mean if guys are using Copulins... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

    A couple of additional thoughts came to me while reading all these posts.

    First, the subtlety factor for the product does make some sense, not wanting to actually draw attention to the bottle. Something wild or flashy isn\'t the best thing. If they want to draw attention to the pheromone bottle, they might as well put some European coeds with red lipstick on the bottle, to hearken back to some earlier threads. So, for me, understated and classy is better.

    Second, the suggestion by FTR about a label on the bottom is a good one. Or, they could do like Stone does and just place a smaller label on it...one that is either shorter...or preferably one that doesn\'t encircle the entire bottle so you can at least have a clear place on the bottle to see how much is in it. Othewise, if they keep the same size label, I\'ll just continue to remove it anyway.

    Bruce - I agree with FTR\'s POV. UPSIDEDOWN also has a good point about trying the Stone Lab\'s label method. With the latter of the two, the label is small, the letters don\'t rub off and you can still see how much is left in the bottle.

    Simple in this instance is better for LaCroy pheromone products no matter which of the two methods you choose.

    I don\'t know why they want to put a flashy label on the product if it\'s mostly sold online for what\'s inside. Unless they plan to sell this in department stores, then I can see the logic. It\'s not a bad label, I just don\'t think it\'s necessary.

    The label is good, even so the most important is to know the amount of product

    UpSide, FTR and you are completely right! The most important is to know the amount of product in the bottle. Days behind I got scared when I saw my NPA in the end. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

    If the bottle was designed to make the lady horney, it would matter, but since it doesn\'t...who cares what the bottle looks like. It not like we\'re waving it in the ladies face saying, \"Yoohooo! Feeling kind of horney now that you\'ve seen this bottle?\" If someone stops buying the product because it comes in a hot pink bottle....so be it!! Tater!!

    As I have to keep some pheros where others may see them, I wind up removing the parts of any labels that refer to pheromones, anyway -- and just writing down TE or AE or NPA, or APC, etcetera...

    Make out special labels consisting only of mathematical equations for Whitehall.

    Actually I sort of agree. I like the chem set labels. they\'re discreet. But that\'s just me.

    I agree its one of the few products that actually not sold by what the label look like. Infact, its more of an obstacle and uninvited attention getter. Labeling at the bottom and instead have some kind a measurement scale on the side that shows how much left (in ml etc) would make more sense.
