背景技术Background technique
孩子的诞生往往是父母一生中最重要和最高兴的时刻之一。孩子的诞生给父母带来的喜悦可能会被显著的紧张和焦躁不安所冲淡,对于缺乏护理新生儿的必要技能的初作父母的人来说更是如此。父母往往对基本的幼儿护理方面的事情例如喂养、卫生和发展感到无所适从。由一些方式例如促销、样品、免费用品、小册子、书籍、电视以及其它传播途径获得的过多信息更加强了这种无所适从的感觉。通过将父母自己对幼儿护理的无所适从与他们所获知的过多信息相结合,父母往往基于必要性而非基于对所获信息的分析来作护理决定。The birth of a child is often one of the most important and happiest moments in a parent's life. The joy of the birth of a child can be tempered by significant nervousness and restlessness, especially for first-time parents who lack the necessary skills to care for a newborn. Parents often feel overwhelmed by basic aspects of child care such as feeding, hygiene and development. This feeling of overwhelm is exacerbated by the plethora of information available through promotions, samples, free supplies, brochures, books, television, and other distribution channels. By combining parents' own disorientation about young child care with the excess information they are given, parents often make care decisions based on necessity rather than analysis of the information they receive.
幼儿产品制造商经常开展幼儿成长和发展方面的广泛的研究以便设计出更好的产品。因此,这些制造商拥有有关幼儿和年幼儿童的宝贵而实用的信息。这些信息可包括例如幼儿的特性、发展模式等专题。也可提供基于对幼儿的生长与发展的广泛的研究而作的实践教育与指导。这样的实践教育与指导可包括幼儿护理、喂养、健康、卫生等方面的技巧。幼儿产品的制造课题正将他们的广泛研究和见识传达给父母。Manufacturers of toddler products often conduct extensive research on the growth and development of young children in order to design better products. Therefore, these manufacturers have valuable and practical information on toddlers and young children. Such information may include topics such as the child's characteristics, developmental patterns, and the like. Hands-on education and instruction based on extensive research on the growth and development of young children are also available. Such hands-on education and instruction may include skills in child care, feeding, health, hygiene, and more. The subject of manufacturing products for young children is communicating their extensive research and insights to parents.
幼儿产品的制造商设法实行多种策略从而以实用、吸引人和内容丰富的方式向父母传达他们广博的信息和知识。一个传达信息的常用方式是在幼儿生长的关键点或护理需要时向父母提供信息。例如,在生育机构处,尤其是在以分娩为目的的生育机构处,经常有人向父母提供有关新生儿护理的信息。不幸的是,随着更多的幼儿护理产品的制造商向待在生育机构中的父母提供更多的信息,对父母有更高价值的信息趋于在信息泛滥中丢失。因此,幼儿护理产品的制造商将他们的信息、知识和产品与典型地分配给父母的那些区别开是有利的。Manufacturers of toddler products seek to implement a variety of strategies to convey their vast information and knowledge to parents in a useful, engaging and informative manner. A common way to communicate information is to provide information to parents at critical points in a young child's development or when care is needed. For example, information about the care of newborns is often provided to parents at birthing facilities, especially those for the purpose of delivery. Unfortunately, as more manufacturers of child care products provide more information to parents in birth facilities, information of higher value to parents tends to get lost in the information deluge. Therefore, it would be advantageous for manufacturers of child care products to differentiate their information, knowledge and products from those typically distributed to parents.
幼儿护理产品的制造商用以传达他们的信息和产品的一个机制是通过提供相关的新生儿护理产品例如尿布、擦拭物、配方、油膏剂等的样品。诸如尿布和擦拭物之类的物品的样品在数量上是趋于有限的,结果是提供给父母的探究和了解产品的机会也是有限的。包含1个或2个尿布的样品包装通常不足以让父母探究出尿布所提供的独特的有益效果。况且,对于一些初为父母的人,这可能是他们第一次使用尿布。这些父母可能需要在使用过数个尿布之后才会感到用起来轻松自如。包含少量几个尿布的样品包装可能是不够的。One mechanism by which manufacturers of baby care products communicate their messages and products is by providing samples of related newborn care products such as diapers, wipes, formulas, ointments, and the like. Samples of items such as diapers and wipes tend to be limited in number, with the result that opportunities for parents to explore and learn about the products are also limited. A sample pack containing 1 or 2 diapers is usually not enough for parents to explore the unique benefits that diapers provide. Also, for some new parents, this may be their first time using diapers. These parents may need to use several diapers before they feel comfortable using them. A sample pack containing a handful of diapers may not be enough.
幼儿护理产品制造商在传送鼓励父母持续地使用所述信息的信息方面还没有取得完全的成功。教育性小册子、邮件和传单常常被丢弃。由大众媒介传送的信息常常被遗忘并且不易溯回。样品产品使用后即被丢弃。Manufacturers of child care products have not been entirely successful in delivering messages that encourage parents to use said messages consistently. Educational brochures, mail and leaflets are often discarded. Information conveyed by the mass media is often forgotten and cannot be easily traced back. Sample products are discarded after use.
鉴于以上确定的缺陷,本发明提供一种可持续地向父母传达内容丰富的讯息的产品。具体地讲,本发明涉及向父母提供包含在存储盒内的幼儿护理产品的套盒,所述存储盒具有存储物品例如与幼儿相关的纪念品的次级用途。存储盒内也可包含教育性信息以向父母提供指导与建议。In view of the deficiencies identified above, the present invention provides a product that consistently conveys informative messages to parents. In particular, the present invention relates to providing parents with kits of child care products contained within a storage box that has a secondary use of storing items such as baby-related memorabilia. The storage box may also contain educational information to provide guidance and advice to parents.
