Paper tissue has become a very common and ordinary product, and its use is very frequent. Moreover, a lot of different tissues have already been released, such as recyclable tissues, tissues with different smells etc. Now tissues are even used in ads, with companies offering designed packs to their customers. Today, the most important difference that can be seen in these products is in the difference of quality or the difference of perfumes, so it seems difficult to innovate a lot or implement new properties to this type of a product. Nevertheless, for all the consumers, properties of the tissues is not the main element that has an influence on the consumers' buying decision.

There is not very innovation possible, or if there are some, productions costs would be so high that the tissues would not be sold, because price can't be high for this kind of product. The main opportunity solved is that there is a solution to produce high quality tissues with a low price which could be a combination of all the aspects researched for this kind of products Product range The product would be proposed in 2 sizes: - Classical format: a pack of 10 tissues 210x210 millimeters - Box of hundreds tissues 210x210 millimeters As those tissues are in the launching phase, the choice of offering a small product range is strategic.
