Will your next line of pot and pan handles be an entry, medium or prestige-level? The choice of the target market is extremely important as the final features and appearance of the product depend on it.
The product category is determined by several factors such as material, thickness, type of cookware body, coating and of course handles. As we know, handles and knobs play an important role since they are a fundamental plus of the cookware and an element of evaluation by potential buyers. Customers in each group will look for different things in their cookware, and handles will need to be different for each consumer group, for example, higher level lines will likely appeal to a more demanding audience, while a basic or mid-level line will attract a broader market.
Entry, Medium and Prestige Level Handles
An entry level pot will probably feel lighter to pick up than a medium or prestige-level one.
Anyhow, It’s possible for an entry level collection to have a trendy handle. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to be attractive and highly functional, too.
Medium-level pot will give the sensation of being of higher level in quality and heavier than an entry-level one. Its handle will need a fuller, sturdier appearance that clearly indicates these features to the consumer before they pick up the product.
At the prestige level, pots and pans are the strongest in appearance and materials thickness. This type of premium product needs a high-quality handle to support its additional quality and feature look.
Pot Handle DESIGN
Once the matter of the product’s target market has been defined, the next decisions that need to be made revolve around the specifics of the handles design.
The difference between the entry, medium and prestige level pot handles is in the design, size, structure, shape and embellishments that can be added.
For example, as the quality level increases, the cookware handles themselves become robust and more solid . While an entry line of pot handles may be relatively plain, as you move into medium and prestige level, you will see more elaborate embellishments appearing among available options.
