This case study is based on "Swiffer Gets in Touch" by Brian Sheehan, detailing how Procter & Gamble transformed Swiffer's packaging in 2011 after stagnant sales. Introduced in 1999, Swiffer's boxed packaging hindered consumer interaction. By taking Swiffer out of the box, redesigning displays, and enabling shoppers to see and touch the product, sales boosted.
