Peanut Keepaway - A curated travelers kit for peanut allergies
After several months of incubation, research, competitive analysis and acquisition I’m proud to announce my first private label product for Amazon FBA. Peanut Keepaway!
For the longest time, my wife has suffered with a deathly-allergic airborne peanut allergy that makes her extremely vulnerable on aircraft and in restaurants.
As a customer experience designer I knew there was a problem here ready to be solved.
After many encounters with rolled-eyes from flight attendants and impatient, uneducated waitstaff at restaurants i chose to inherit the allergy to take on the persona and understand first hand how I feel as this is occurring vs. watching my wife experience this.
I wondered how can i immerse myself in this experience as well to understand where i could create value!
What i found is this is a real issue, without a good solution. Most flight attendants and waitstaff exude a sense of hubris and uncomfortableness when dealing with this issue because they are untrained and uneducated.
This was a problem to solve. So i developed Peanut Keepaway! A travel kit for in-flight travelers with peanut and nut allergies. When comfort and anxiety impact travel, we can ease the tension. Curated kits made in USA.
Each Kit Contains
I realized that I needed to create a kit that would house not only the peanut allergy issue but perhaps additional accessories for traveling companions as well all inside a wonderful reusable TSA approved Quart Sized bag.
“After all how many times have you gone to the airport and not had a clear bag for your toiletries? I have many times”
I realized creating a bag of essentials with all the right fixin’s was most definitely needed on our trips.
I wanted to use the 5 senses rule.
As an allergy prone person in social situations especially travel what is going to irritate me the most by not having it. and this is what I came up with.
