at Amazon.com or Dollar Tree.
I purchase OTC products at different locations
because of price & selection. I typically shop
monthly or as needed for my OTC products.
My shopping process is the same for
conventional vs. natural OTC products.
My selection is a lot bigger for natural
OTC products, than conventional OTC products.
It usually takes me only 5- 10 minutes to
shop for conventional OTC products. I usually
spend 15-20 minutes shopping for natural
OTC products. I spend more time shopping
on Amazon.com compared to Dollar Tree.
I consider only 1 or 2 options for conventional
OTC products. I consider several options for
natural OTC products, because of the different categories.
I do not talk to anyone. I will buy sometimes
on deal or sale. Depending on the product.
When shopping at Amazon.com I choose
between brands based on the ratings. At
Dollar Tree I choose based on availability.
The magnesium & Iron minerals catches my eye.
If I bought a new-to-you natural OTC product
it would be the mineral magnesium. Because, it would
enhance my body & mind.
Vitamin D-3 is not for me because, I get vitamin D-3
from the Sun & the sunlight.
Ginkgo Biloba is not for me because, the dietary
supplements is in my brain health supplements.
It's good they offer both conventional & natural products.
It shows the brand is commited to effective health care.
The Vicks brand is known mostly for being a conventional
brand. The value it adds is options for the consumer.
I found the natural products in the OTC health care
section. The location makes sense to me. Because it
makes shopping easier & faster.
Stores should put natural products next to conventional
products. It makes comparison shopping easier
& more effective.
Hi Manuel,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts on your shopping experiences. I wonder, why does it take you longer to shop for natural products? What does it entail that shopping for OTC conventional products does not?
Also, how do you know that Vicks brand is comitted to effective health care because it offers conventional and natural products. Which of their products offer this, in your opinion? Will you please say more about how you formed this opinion of Vicks?
Thanks for your time!
I consider several more options for
Deletenatural OTC products. That's why it takes
me longer to shop. Also, because of the
different categories of products, it takes
me more time to read labels and compare.
I do not know that Vicks brand is comitted
to effective health care. My opinion is, if
a brand produces a product that is also a
natural OTC product, that's a sign of being comitted.
Vicks Dayquil of course, is a conventional
OTC product. Vicks Vaporub, is a all-natural
OTC product.
Thanks, Manuel.
