The rapid growth in the share of digital shoppers demands creativity on behalf of eCommerce businesses. This is important to:

  • Keep customers loyal and engaged
  • Deliver more value for money and have a competitive advantage in a crowded market

Creative packaging for e-commerce goods can help your business get an advantage and preference over your competitors.

For a customer ordering online, the first moment of contact when they receive your product after much anticipation can make or break their relationship with your brand.

Perceptions of the presentation and condition in which a product is delivered can play a key role in overall customer satisfaction and credibility of your brand. This makes getting your custom e-commerce packaging right important for customer retention and brand loyalty.

E-Commerce Packaging

Why does the unboxing experience matter?

The unboxing experience creates an emotional pull towards the brand and product and adds to the theatre and experience. Although the unboxing experience has changed over the years, brands are more aware that keeping the unboxing experience simple, yet effective, is important. Considering the impact of cardboard, how much is used and how recyclable it is.

There’s excitement and nervous anticipation to finally receive the product as to whether it will meet the quality expectation. Customers are very impressionable in the first few moments of receiving their package. The package often reflects the brand and the quality of the product.

This presents e-commerce businesses with a unique opportunity to win some brownie points with customers by giving them an unboxing experience to remember. Something to add to their excitement while reassuring them of their purchase decision and of course impressing them with the quality.
