After spending countless hours developing and creating your product, the time has come to start thinking about taking it to market. It has the right features, undeniable benefits, and is priced just right – all critical things to consider. But don’t overlook the importance of product packaging.
Here are some tips to keep in mind as you think about the perfect wrapping for your product:
- Research your competitors. You’ll want to see what they are doing – what’s working for them and what isn’t – so you can ensure your design stands out from other packages and competitors.
- Know your audience. Who will be the primary buyer of this product? Knowing who the primary shopper is and what motivates him/her will help catch the eye of the buyer.
- Know your placement of the package on the shelf, or in the store. Knowing if you’re on the top shelf, eye level, or bottom shelf is important because this can influence the design.
- Make sure you grab the buyers’ attention RIGHT AWAY. And that you clearly explain the product quickly. You only have one chance to make a good first impression.
- Understand how you want your product to be perceived. Having a good design can influence the way a shopper views your product’s quality.
- Consider your final cost of goods on the shelf. Remember both package design and materials are part of your product. Staying within a price point is important.
