In this confusing situation, we are left wondering over the company's marketing plan. Although companies often change their packaging, this specific case begs issues regarding the moral nature of their strategy. The lesser number of tablets in the new, bigger bottle appears like a frantic effort to make consumers feel as though they are receiving more for their money. Among consumers who expect a specific amount depending on the size of the container, this kind of packaging deception can cause annoyance and disappointment. The business almost seems to be depending on the belief that consumers would not notice the disparity. Such actions not only erode confidence but also cause bad ratings and a loss of client loyalty. Brands should be careful how they offer their products in a time when consumers are more aware and discriminating than ever. Maintaining a good connection with consumers depends on marketing's openness and honesty.
