Ms-Tique Corporation must introduce aerosol packaging because it has
            
 distinct advantages when compared with tube packaging. For one it has
            
 already entered the market which means competitors have taken a step into
            
 this direction and Ms-Tique might be felt behind if it fails to capture
            
 this market. Secondly, it has also been noticed that aerosol cans are more

 have enthusiastically embraced aerosol cans introduced by other firms and
            
 Ms-Tique is likely capture an even bigger market share once it enters the
            
 aerosol can section provided it keeps its manufacturing costs down. Aerosol
            
 cans will also help Ms-Tique meet additional demand and may also eliminate
            
 the need for tube gels once the aerosol can sale gains momentum.
            
 We must remember that packaging plays an important role and it has two
            
 distinct functions to perform: After all, packaging, says Davis, has to
            
 perform a dual role: "It has to be attractive to the consumer and
            
 communicate the right brand messages, but at the same time it has to be
            
 functional. It must carry and protect the product and be easy to fill ...
