The great premiumisation of everything: When ordinary isn't enough
Everyday items are getting fancy stories. Biscuits now have terroir, like wine. Detergent claims botanical credentials. Water gets a provenance tale. Even the most ordinary products need an origin story to sell. Premiumisation is touching everything. For business owners, this means customers today expect a background for what they buy. If you sell a basic product, consider what makes it special, but make sure your story is true.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Biscuits are now associated with terroir, a term previously used for wine.
- Detergent is being sold with botanical credentials.
- Water brands now emphasize provenance or an origin story.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you sell everyday items, think about whether an honest origin story could appeal to customers, but do not make claims you cannot support.
