I really wish the sellers would create labels with more unambiguous information about the liquid. Few suggestions:
1) Always include the nicotine content in mg numbers. Your "XHigh" may not be the same as other supplier's "XHigh". Print "XHigh/24 mg" instead.
2) Print either the expiration date or production date on the label. Or both. When you print dates, don't use "02/12/2010" format. Different counties have different date styles -- one person may interpret this as February 12 and another as December 2. Use "02-Dec-2009" or "Feb-12-2009" instead. Or use just month and year, for example "02-2009" or "12/2009" or "Feb 2009". Most everyone will understand such dates.
3) Print your "brand" or "store" name on the label. I might want to order the same liquid again, but if I don't know where it came from, the chances are it will not happen. And no, I can't tell where the "RY4" came from just by looking at the bottle.
4) When you change formulation of the flavor, don't sell the new formula under the old name. If, for example, you change your standard "Tennessee Cured" liquid formula, sell the new flavor as "Tennessee Cured B" or "Tennessee Cured - Memphis" or "Tennessee Williams Cured." You get the idea -- be creative. But don't just change the flavor formula and sell it under the same name.
Remember the lesson Coca-Cola learned when they improved Coke formula: people liked the old formula better! It is possible that your customers will like the original "Tennessee Cured" better too. There may be a reason why Coco Chanel named her famous fragrance "No 5" and didn't try to pass the fragrance as "No 1"
Please add any other suggestions...
