<p id=”par-1_38″>After launching her As Ever products in April, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a> announced that her collection of raspberry spread, wildflower honey with honeycomb, flower sprinkles, herbal teas, and shortbread cookie mix, completely sold out in less than an hour. </p>
<p id=”par-2_44″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/?swcfpc=1″>former <em>Suits</em> star</a> posted about the success of her first launch via Instagram. But some thought that was misleading and accused the duchess of only producing a small amount that was available for purchase. The actual number of products available for purchase has not been released. </p>
<p id=”par-3_39″>Meghan restocked those items and on June 20, added two new products to the inventory–an apricot spread and orange blossom honey. All of her products sold out for a second time, and the duchess made a video gushing about it. </p>
<p id=”par-4_62″>Some think there’s a script that’s being followed: For every single time Meghan launches more products, the public will be told that they have sold out again. Now, a couple of experts are also weighing in and pointing out that if <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>Prince Harry’s wife</a>‘s products did indeed sell out again, she has shown a total “lack of confidence” in her brand. </p>

<p id=”par-5_69″>On her <em>Confessions of a Female Founder</em>, Meghan <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-makes-major-announcement-future-as-ever-products-stepping-back-comments.html/”>talked about customer fatigue</a> if she released more products too quickly and then sold out again so fast, saying: “Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour, or is that annoying as a customer? … I’m looking at it saying, just pause. That happened. Let’s wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_24″>But she apparently had another fast sell-out and leading PR consultant, Mark Borkowski, told <a href=”https://www.newsweek.com/meghan-markle-lack-confidence-ever-lifestyle-brand-2089254″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Newsweek</a> that shows a “lack of confidence” in the brand. </p>
<p id=”par-7_79″>He said: “Nobody wants to be left with a load of stock you can’t shift. So it shows to a certain extent a lack of confidence in their own product because if they believed in it, they would go into overproduction or a greater production line. It shows they’re still unsure about the very thing that would seem to be quite successful. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of supply and demand would think they are surprised by their success.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_61″>Nick Ede, a U.K.-based brand and culture expert, who used to be friends with Meghan, also spoke to the publication and explained: “Obviously they’ve said they increased the inventory 10 times, but you wonder how large that inventory actually was. You actually want to, as a customer, as a consumer, go onto a website and feel you can buy the product.”</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-duchess-is-gearing-up-for-her-next-product-drop”>The duchess is gearing up for her next product drop </h2>
<p id=”par-9_31″>Meghan is gearing up for her next product drop in what was supposed to be seasonal is now becoming monthly as more items including wine will be available next month. </p>
<p id=”par-10_72″>In the As Ever newsletter, she asked visitors to join the mailing list and wrote: “Our debut Napa Valley rose is launching just in time for summer entertaining. There’s something else we can’t wait to share — our debut <em>As ever</em> rosé. With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining, and will be available for purchase on July 1st.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_19″>And on that date, you can expect Meghan to announce that this drop has sold out as well. </p>
