Does Your Packaging Speak Human ?

Information overload. We see over 3,000 advertising messages a day. It takes about 2.6 seconds to make a purchasing decision at retail. So why would anyone buy your product over the competition? You will find out here and learn the insiders’ secrets of "human speak" and how to connect your product to your consumer.

In this special report you will find out how to:

  1. Effectively influence the consumer.
  2. Recognize how “warm and fuzzy” translates into more sales.
  3. Identify how you can “connect” to consumers.
  4. Understand what turns off customers.
  5. Recognize the knowledge necessary to hear your package and see your product through the eyes of the consumer.

Got Soap? How To Package It Simply, Effectively And Within Budget

 

Whether you plan to sell on the Internet or in a retail outlet, do you know the one thing that you need to know to ensure your products success? You guessed it, THE PACKAGE. I know how hard it is to have a great idea or product, and then to have to dig through mounds of information to learn how to package it. The information you need to know to get it right is overwhelming.

Packaging is complicated, one mistake and you could be back to square one. When that happens, unfortunately you may have lost a lot of money in the process. So, it pays to do it right the first time and understand the problems before they become insurmountable. That's why I have created my special report presented at the Soapmaker's Convention April 29 in Burlington VT, “Got Soap? How To Package Your Products Simply, Effectively And Within Budget.”

So don't wait till its too late. Packaging is a complex equation. It IS the sales person. It IS your brand. It IS your company and if you haven't given it the consideration it deserves it will fail or most certainly not live up to its expectations.

Packaging Your Invention To Sell by JoAnn Hines Read The Packaging Diva BlogPackaging Diva

Even if you have a great invention without a package it will never sell. Lets face it consumers are a fickle bunch. It doesn't take much to turn them off. If fact, you only have 2.6 second to turn them on to your invention through your packaging. Yes, your package is your number one salesperson and once you have lost the opportunity you may never get it back.

People always contact me whenever they are in trouble. Most of the time it is after the fact and they want the quick fix to their packaging woes. Well, it doesn't work that way. Packaging is a complicated intricate process. Understanding it requires time and consideration. It’s not just about getting the product there. It’s also about getting the product to SELL.

That's where the unique role of packaging comes into play. Packaging is a complex equation. It IS the sales person. It IS your brand. It IS your company and if you haven't given it the consideration it deserves it will fail or most certainly not live up to its expectations. It’s a tangle of information out there and what you don't know CAN get you into trouble. Learn why you should always make packaging your first thought not your last.

Diva on Board

"I need more publicity for my packaging products and services."

I hear this from everyone - individuals and inventors, small businesses, nonprofit foundations - even large businesses. Whether you're working your own guerilla publicity campaign or paying out hefty sums of your PR budget, you're not getting as much media attention as you'd like. As a matter of fact, even the PR agencies aren't getting as much media attention as they'd like!

I think I've found a solution for many of you... Diva on Board

Here's how it works:

This program, aptly titled Diva on Board, is designed for business owners and executives who wish they had someone to talk with and to advise them about maximizing the company's exposure through appropriate media opportunities.

Now you can include the Packaging Diva as an adjunct for your organization ... and for a very reasonable investment. The Diva has 30+ years of branding experience and can become your ongoing resource for information and advice on all aspects of PR for your business.

It's a retainer program where I watch for opportunities to promote your company and its services. I will help you craft the correct spin to get the most mileage from every opportunity. You can also use me to help you assess other promotional opportunities such as whether to exhibit at a trade show and which trade shows will give you the most return on your investment. It's like having a customized marketing director just for your business!

The difference between traditional PR that doesn't always work and Diva on Board is me. The Packaging Diva is a brand name that is recognized around the world. That's because my success has been built on researching trends and innovations that affect the packaging industry and sharing that knowledge with my clients to help you recognize how your business can be impacted.

I'm able to offer this unique opportunity to a few select clients in 2007. Sign up today for 3 months of the Diva On Board and see the effects that good media coverage will bring for your business.

The fee is $1,000 per month and is payable at the beginning of each month. Diva on Board will begin accepting memberships from everyone on January 1, but we're letting the Diva's readers sign up now because we want to be sure you get a space. Enrollment is extremely limited, so sign up quickly to guarantee your place.
