Speak your mind to marketers of packaged goods
Whether it be due to arthritis or some other ailment, we have all experienced difficulty in opening packaged foods, medicines, etc. Manufacturers selling their products as packaged goods have options in selecting the design and function of the package and they may not always consider options which can make the process of opening their package easier for seniors, a market that is very large and constantly growing.
Participate in sending petitions to companies to make sure they are aware of the difficulty their packaging presents to seniors. We can not only raise awareness of the problem faced by seniors, but acting as a group we may even have the strength to create change. Marketing departments will pay attention to a group that can negatively impact sales and we have the power to get their attention.
Attached are forms which have been created to send to the marketing department of each company that has been identified as having non-senior friendly packaging. Select the forms for each company that you would like to advise of your dissatisfaction with their packaging. Merely add your name to the bottom of the letter - do not include any other information such as address, phone number or e-mail address. Letters will periodically be forwarded to the respective companies as signatures are accumulated.
If you have other products you would like to add to the current list, please let us know and we will do the research to find the right person to receive the letter.
