Common Window Mistakes
- Wrong window for product — No window for a lipstick = customers can’t see shade
- No sample approval — Window doesn’t line up with product
- Window too big — Product rattles behind the window
- Wrong film — Frosted film for a colorful lipstick = shade looks dull
- No window on retail — Full packaging hides the product = lost sales
