On episode 7, Jack speaks with our Global Product Line Manager, Mike Schumacher. Mike will give the audience an overview of the consumer trend of Cost. We’ll explore what we mean when we talk about cost, what factors are influencing the cost of raw materials and hygiene products, what some producers are doing to reduce their costs, and how suppliers like Bostik are working to support producers in managing their own pricing strategies.

Many variables impact the cost of producing disposable hygiene articles and setting the selling price. It can be challenging to put all the logistics together, set a price that consumers will actually pay, keep your business profitable, and never let competitors’ products and their pricing strategies out of your sights. In this episode of “Attached to Hygiene,” host Jack Hughes and Bostik’s Global Product Line Manager Mike Schumacher uncover some interesting aspects of costs, price points to reach business goals, and keeping consumers satisfied.
