I was sad and frustrated when I started this thread. I was amazed that young fashionable consumers were raving about a product I designed and willing to pay good money to get it. I was even thinking about getting product liability insurance again and making some good money. It was taking me awhile to get over it, along with the lovers of my product that won't get one.
Then this happened.
A person who was given an expensive sample product for free came over. She asked me to look at it. It looked fine, exactly as it did when it was made. She implied it "felt" different. I assured her that it was made that way. She frowned. Then I remembered that's why I moved more into commercial work the last years I was in the business. I found retail consumers tend to be spoiled by the"satisfaction guaranteed" stores.
It a lot of fun making things people love, but it only takes one unreasonable client to burst that bubble.
