Why Your Company / Product Needs Custom Packaging

Is your business shipping products to your clients? How unique is your packaging? If you don’t have a package that stands out, then you may be losing business.

Why Great Marketing Requires Unique Custom Packaging

Competition is fierce in the shipping industry. Most have common brown or white boxes that can get lost in the crowd. However those brand names that have flashy boxes that stand out, get noticed and are easy to pick out from the crowd. Zappos, Chegg and Amazon have boxes and brands that get noticed.

Your clients may never get the chance to stand out in a UPS building. Yet they will have many opportunities for average people to notice your packages.

* Sitting outside a dorm, house or an apartment.
* Sitting at someone’s office desk, coffee table or in someone’s kitchen.
* They can see your package on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram or they just got their package or one of their pets are playing around in the box.
* In a post office or UPS store.
* There are still other ways that customers will see your package and you want it to catch their eye, to stand out so they will remember it.

Packaging is a great marketing strategy that you can do to bring more customers to your business. It puts your brand and your website link in view of repeat customers.
