We’ve all heard the phrase Prevention is better than cure. The original context of which is used while talking about health has proven to be incredibly important in the modern society we live in today. The pandemic has completely redefined what it means to be “safe”.

Consumer Need/ Problem:

The idea of using simple protective material for sanitary purposes is likely to stay on for a while, especially since many countries have mandated their use on a regular purpose. This means that there will be a perpetual requirement of these tools: masks, gloves, and other protective materials.

Masks are the most common remedy to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It is often the most accessible tool available, often even at the low price of 16 rupees, which can be used once and then disposed of. But that is of course not a solution if we are going to need them in the long-term.

While many have developed reusable cloth masks, it is not necessarily the most attractive thing to entice consumers to wear them. As entrepreneurs are our primary concern should be how do we make a protective gear like masks, both trendy and safe, for an ever-increasing, demanding audience who will look to purchase them?

This way it gives the product a personal touch, while not straying away from the objective of making masks interesting for folks who are looking to purchase them.

The Conclusion:

It will require a team of ultra-creatives to pull off these kinds of masks business. Building that team that is graphically inclined, looking to create bold and innovative designs, and is aware of what is trending in the market can make the process simpler to produce.

The important decision here will be to move quickly. Considering that counts as fashion evolves at a speedy pace, it will be important to move fast and cash-in on the trend when you see it emerging.
