How to Turn Large Rubber Duck into a Higher-Value Product
I’ll never forget the day a marketing manager from a major retail chain called me in a panic. They had just dropped $20,000 on a batch of rubber ducks for their grand opening, only to find out they were all the same, boring yellow. The ducks ended up in the trash, and the brand’s new…
