We had the opportunity to collaborate with Phillip Akhzar, Founder and CEO of Arka , for an interactive session on using custom packaging to generate brand awareness and loyalty. If you didn’t get a chance to watch it live, feel free to check out the recording above. In the session, we covered: 

• Why fulfillment and creating personalized experiences will create winners and losers among SMBs and large ecommerce marketplaces.
• Consumers wanting brands to use sustainable packaging and what that means for revenue growth.
• How to choose the best packaging
• Creating custom packaging experiences
• Marketing strategies incorporating packaging (solid ideas for holiday marketing )

Start viewing packaging as an “owned channel” and extend brand engagement beyond the product experience. Many brands are missing the opportunity to give customers “one more thing” to talk about in an area of the customer lifecycle that can be out of our control. To increasing your brands value, generating UGC from unboxing videos, exclusive branded packaging for VIPs, really give packaging a second look when you’re crafting your marketing strategies.
