Including Packaging in Paid Ads

Advertising has been used to boost packaging and product appeal and has done so for many years. You need to make sure that the product, promotion, price, place, and product packaging are there, especially when marketing.

Advertising costs a lot, and every single brand is trying to make it so that they reach the most customers with the least amount spent.  Packaging is a good way to offer this, so they can properly identify it, and then they’ll be able to talk about you once they get it. 

Virtual Unboxing 

One good way to make your paid advertising pay off, and boosting ROI, is virtual unboxing. 



This is a way for you to show the unboxing of the product, and some visuals, and you can use this on Facebook or Instagram posts that are sponsored. 

This provides customers with a good feeling on what brands are selling, how this looks, and the packaging, including what this holds. 

With unboxing, you’ll be able to make every day, normal sorts of products into something that’s very exciting, and quite fun. 

Did you know that less than 30% of people are actually read by users, so gifs are how you want to communicate. 



New Design Experimentation 

Even before these customers see the designs that you have, you’ll be able to show them how these packaging products and the like are then received by other customers. 

You might wonder why you’d ask customers about this, and if it’d be better to do this through social media, or organic posting.  While they do work to a small degree, the paid ads provide a level of reach that neither method normally does.  This gives customers a chance to target this and are better than just hoping that someone finds you in an organic manner. It’s actually a huge way to drive business to your company. 

For instance, some companies may have their initial designs that are there, but as the brand changed, they added different visuals that are there. 

One company kept a bit of the original identity of the brand, so that customers could find them, and were able to identify these products. 

Subscription Box Product Showcase s 

Finally, you can use packaging to showcase subscription boxes.  For some companies, packaging is very important for them to find these products.

Ecommerce as well is god as well, because there is a limit to the amount of contact that you get to have with customers. That means, you need to make sure that the presence is the highest tier that it can be. 

With the correct packaging, you’re building the first impression that clients have, and is something that a lot of customers will start to see. 

You want to make sure as well that you have the right types of budgeting that you can get for this.  If you don't have a large budget, don't worry.  You can boost this growth rate as things get better. 

Provide Good Information and Visuals 

When you’re building an ad campaign, two things that you need to make sure that you do, in order to get your packaging to advertise for you, is to have good copy, content, and visuals that really pop.



You want to make sure that customers get everything they need without having to do a google on just who you are. 

Provide this information in the sense that the next step of the customer would be to get them to press the shop button and buy something off the website. That’s the ultimate goal, and if you hit that, you win the game of ecommerce.

Packaging Trends Shaping the Industry

 E Commerce is a growing and thriving type of industry, but it also is becoming more oversaturated with different sellers. While there are a lot of great strategies, the details are a big part of it.. You want to focus on all facets in order to boost the experience, making sure you set this apart from the rest.

With that said, what are the current and latest trends in the realm of ecommerce? Here, we’ll go over them, and tell you what you should be aware of in order to boost your  business. 

Sustainable Packaging 

Probably one of the biggest ones is sustainable packaging solutions.  This is because it’s something that customers look for.



Below are some of the new innovations that are being used within the packaging world to create better packaging solutions: 

  • Biodegradable items: this is important because it lets you switch out from plastic to let you have something that’s easier on the planet, and also on your wallet too 

  • Paper based items, such as paper BublĂ© paper protectives will help with protecting the items you have during transit, and reducing the plastic that’s used 

  • Better packaging designs, to reduce the amount of materials that are used. This inevitably saved a lot of money while also reducing the impact on the environment 

  • Organic types of packaging, such as fungi, mushrooms, and even cornstarch. They’re biodegradable, and are more ethically sourced than a plastic or paper type of packaging 

Customized Packaging 

There are also new ways to customize the packaging that you have than ever thought possible. 

Below are some of the newest trends in customized packaging design: 

  • The logo, which allows you to incorporate all of this there to make sure that customers remember just who you are, and the brand associated with you for your next session 

  • Colors, especially bolded colors that really stand out, and are used to craft a more cohesive, better branding image 

  • Instructions, especially special instructions for opening and handling. Customized packaging ensures that the items are best handled with the right care and attention 

  • Social media additions, as they allow you to make sure that people follow you after they get the packaging, providing a better update on the product releases that are there 

Better Protection 

Another popular trend that is becoming more important is getting better protection while also not sacrificing the financial costs associated with this, and also for protecting different products such as metal and other items. 



VIC paper for example, is one of the few that’s created a barrier for a lot of items. There are desiccants too, which create barriers of air around this to prevent water, oxygen, and even dirt from touching those products as they’re being transported. 

Oxygen and water are used to stimulate rust formation in some metal items, and this can cause a major disdain for the customers.  It also boosts the return of products which you don’t want. 

VCI packaging is good for protection of brand images, and also ensures that customers are satisfied too. 



When choosing the right product packaging, you want to make sure that you consider these trends. There are a lot of great ones to choose from, and a lot of options to decide on. If you’re looking for a new and improved packaging experience, take a moment to look at the trends, and from there, decide if any of them are made for your needs, or if you need something different for you to work on instead, in order to create the ideal packaging protection and experience possible.
