Meghan Markle has been urged to not restock As Ever permanently for one major reason. The Duchess of Sussex released the first batch of products in early April – with all of the available products selling out within one hour of the website going live.
The 43-year-old revealed earlier this week that she will restock the brand’s website on Friday, June 20. The newsletter, shared via As Ever, read: “First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise.
“We are pleased to share that on June 20, we’re going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises. More details and exact timing will be shared soon.”
Discussing whether Meghan should continue with various launches or to restock continuously, PR expert Rhea Freeman told the Express : “As for whether or not the products should be available all the time or in drops, we see more and more brands moving towards drops and limited runs.
“This helps to encourage people to buy quickly (and sometimes excessively!) because of the scarcity felt.
“Also, it’s far easier to create hype around a release if something isn’t available all the time – and I think the media content around the launch is testament to this.
“It could evolve into some products that are always available- perhaps the dry mixes – with seasonal drops for ‘fresh’ products like the preserves.”
Speaking of likely products, Ms Freeman discussed Meghan’s use of her Instagram.
She said: “On her Instagram, I feel there have been hints as to what might drop—and I think we’re going to see the return of some products like the raspberry spread (which also says coming soon on the website!), but some new seasonal creations, too.
“I think we could see strawberries and blueberries in the products, and maybe even something like an American-style pancake mix if her social is to be taken literally. I also imagine there will be a continued connection to the garden per the flower sprinkles in the last drop- a lot of her content is slanted that way.”
