Travel Size Wonders: Why We Can't Get Enough
Travel-size products have many benefits, including:
1. Convenience
Travel-sized products are easy to carry around in a bag or on an airplane. Whether you’re off on a grand adventure or stuck with the in-laws for the weekend, convenience shouldn't be an issue. For brief getaways of just a few days, compact sizes are perfect, whereas for longer vacations of a week or more, opting for full-size choices ensures you're fully stocked until you get back. You’d be amazed how many travel-size toiletries you can fit into one mini makeup bag. Why force yourself to prioritize the essentials when you can bring it all?
2. Price
Travel-sized products can be a good price point, while still offering enough product for daily use. Avoid last-minute emergency purchases by staying organized when buying toiletries. An exploration of price discrepancies between duty-free and traditional retail venues revealed that beauty products in airports frequently come at a premium. Instead, save money by ordering everything you need in advance. What’s more, for the same amount you’d spend on one large bottle, you can justify buying multiples in travel-size. Leave one at work, one in your bag and one at your partner's apartment - it’s a triple win!
3. Sampling
Travel-sized products allow customers to try out a product before committing to a full-size purchase. You’ve heard good things about a new body moisturizer, like this one from Cashmere Moon, but aren’t sure whether to commit. With travel-sizes, you don’t have to! One of the prime motives behind purchasing travel-size body creams, oils, or toiletries is the opportunity to experiment with novel products without the upfront financial investment. Purchasing the mini version of a product you have your eye on allows you to give it a trial run; you can decide later whether the full-size is an investment worth making. Buying a new, high-end cream only to end up with an unfortunate breakout can be so frustrating.
