The Duchess of Sussex's new strawberry jam soft 開始する，打ち上げる is a 'weird 戦略' that 欠如（する）s 'authenticity' - and she must '拡大する her outreach', brand 専門家s said today.

Meghan Markle 開始する，打ち上げるd the first 製品 from her new 商売／仕事 投機・賭ける American Riviera Orchard this week, sending influencers and friends a jar of the jam.

Parenting 選挙運動者 Kelly McKee Zajfen, Argentine socialite Delfina Balquier and stylist Tracy Robbins are the three to have so far 地位，任命するd a picture of it on Instagram.

But PR guru 示す Borkowski said: 'It's either hubris or else very weird 戦略. What's in it? What does it taste like? There's no story there, nothing on the 支援する, just a label - and even that looks like it's peeling off.'

Meghan could have 設立する inspiration from her father-in-法律 King Charles III who began selling 製品s such as jam from the Duchy of Cornwall 広い地所 in the 1990s.

Prince William took on the Duchy 広い地所 after Queen Elizabeth II 's death in 2022, with Duchy 有機の strawberry jam on sale at Waitrose?蓄える／店s for £2.80 per jar.

And Mr Borkowski told the Times: 'It's a （疑いを）晴らす karaoke of what her father-in-法律 has been doing for a couple of １０年間s with 広大な／多数の／重要な success - but with far いっそう少なく authenticity. Do we really think Meghan has been stirring the jam pan herself?'

Meghan's jam had the American Riviera Orchard logo and 'Montecito' underneath - the celebrity 飛び領土 in California where she lives with Harry in a £12million mansion.

This is the 最新の 開始する，打ち上げる まっただ中に a 傾向 of celebrities 転換ing their own food 製品s - with Julianne Moore , Will Ferrell and LeBron James の中で those selling honey from their gardens through the Flamingo 広い地所 brand for up to $250 (£200) per jar.

And brand 専門家 Ronn Torossian, 創立者 of 5W Public Relations, told the Daily Mirror: 'She's 逮捕（する）d 消費者 attention with this approach to 初期の 製品 introduction, however she'll need to 拡大する her outreach between now and an 公式の／役人 消費者 開始する，打ち上げる of the jam.

'伝統的に, Meghan has used a stealth approach to 事業／計画（する） 告示s, knowing she's 絶えず under the watchful 注目する，もくろむ of fans and critiques alike.

'But there is a difference between 逮捕（する）ing attention and 生成するing sales. She'll have to find a marketing approach that 焦点（を合わせる）s on the value of 購入（する）ing these offerings.'

一方／合間 a collectibles 専門家 said that the value of Meghan's jam jars will likely 増加する in the next few weeks but then はっきりと 減少（する） in the longer 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語.

Daniel Wade, from Paul Fraser Collectibles in Bristol, told 表明する.co.uk: 'I'd 推定する／予想する to see values for Meghan's 限られた／立憲的な 版 jams etc to rise in the very short 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 as excitement around her new line is at its 頂点（に達する）.

'However, in the months and years to come, I 心配する values dropping 意味ありげに. That's because everyone has the same idea - 'We're going to 持つ／拘留する on to these, keep them in 広大な／多数の／重要な 条件 and sell them in 20 years'. So they're not going to be 特に rare.'

He （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that collectibles relating to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William, the Princess of むちの跡s and Charles are 'all ahead of her', 追加するing: 'If you're looking for a 王室の 投資, much better to go with the late Queen.'

It comes after Meghan 発表するd her new 商売／仕事 投機・賭ける last month with an Instagram teaser ビデオ, showing her cooking and arranging white hydrangeas and roses, 地位，任命するd to the new American Riviera Orchard Instagram account.

Also commenting on this week's jam was 王室の 専門家 Kinsey Schofield, who told GB News: 'I believe she's trying to build an empire. I don't know if that was what she was going 初めは to do when she left the British 王室の Family - remember they told us that she was going to be living a life of service?

'Did they have to go 負かす／撃墜する this path? 基本的に using Netflix to create content to build this empire of gardening and what's going on in the kitchen, but also giving Netflix 最終的に what they want which is that reality show element - that was their only 商業の success, with the Harry & Meghan docuseries.

'So this is her dipping her toes still in reality TV but also having cameras in her 直面する and 存在 able to 押し進める her own 製品.'

Yesterday, branding 専門家 Nick Ede told MailOnline that Meghan 分配するd the jam to her friends as a way of 最高潮の場面ing her new 商売／仕事 投機・賭ける by giving them a 'personal 現在の' that she likely produced herself with 成分s sourced from Montecito.

Mr Ede said the jam 'will have most likely have been sourced in Montecito and produced by 手渡す by Meghan herself to make them feel special and thought of.'

Speaking about the 開始する，打ち上げる today, Mr Ede told MailOnline: 'The 創造 of 個々に numbered jars of jam sent to a selected group of 影響力のある people is 正確に／まさに what I tho ught that Meghan would do.

'The whole 前提 of her new brand American Riviera Orchard is to 最高潮の場面 the 質 and origin of the 地元で sourced 成分s and how they have been lovingly made into jam.

'As a way of getting the brand out there and in keeping with the home-made, straight from the home aesthetic that she has gone for it 作品 really 井戸／弁護士席.'

Mr Ede also pointed out that Meghan was 'filming a new cookery lifestyle show for Netflix which will show her making things that she loves and wants to 株 with テレビ視聴者s and fans'.

He continued: 'It's not known how much the jam will cost and if it will even go into 集まり 生産／産物 but as a way of creating 利益／興味 it's also 最高潮の場面ing the brand rather than Meghan, which will be her 戦略.

'She wants people to buy into the ARO lifestyle not just her own personal brand. The look and feel of it is very home made with a stylish crest and almost handwritten brand 指名する to keep it feeling like it's a personal 現在の.

'The idea that she's only sent it to 50 people shows that the 在庫／株 is 限られた／立憲的な and creates a 需要・要求する too and 利益／興味. As a 開始する，打ち上げる its low 重要な but in keeping with their new softer, homely approach to their celebrity status and lifestyle.'

Mrs Robbins 地位，任命するd a picture of Meghan's jam, which had the American Riviera Orchard logo and 'Montecito' underneath - the celebrity 飛び領土 in California where Harry and Meghan live in a £12million home. The label also had the words '17 of 50'.

'It also creates intrigue as to who has been lucky enough to receive the jam. I am sure Meghan will have thought long and hard as to who to send her first （製品，工事材料の）一回分 to.

'個々に numbering shows that the send out was 限られた／立憲的な 版 but it does also make those who didn't get the jam feel left out perhaps too.

He 追加するd that there was one major difference in that for 'all the celebrity owned brands, when they send out to people of 影響（力） to 地位，任命する on their social マスコミ, there is a call to 活動／戦闘 to 購入（する）'.

Mr Ede continued: 'With ARO there is no 機能（する）／行事ing website just a 持つ／拘留するing page and an email 登録 which means that people who want to know more have no other （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） and I think that this could be 失望させるing to 可能性のある purchasers and fans who want to know more.'

Speaking about where Meghan will have sourced the 成分s from, Mr Ede 追加するd that this was likely to have been 地元で.

He said: 'Meghan is a very authentic person and the whole 前提 of ARO is authenticity and 地元の.
