Packaging
Imagine going to the village and your parents have arranged two beautiful brides for you, they told you about their good manner, hard work, caring and all the other good features you want in a wife.
So you are eager to see them, you rush to the room where they are, open the door and behold your two .....
What You See, Feel Determines Your Perception
This is the exact reason why people sometimes run from a brand that has higher quality but poor packaging.
Because they find it hard to believe that any good thing can come from a badly packaged product.
If you marry a short or ugly woman, the perception is that, you are likely to give birth to a short or ugly baby.
People think like the computer, garbage-in, garbage-out.
No One Likes Ugly
Effective Rebranding Cannot Ignore Repackaging
This is why packaging is often regarded as the first advert a buyer sees when he holds a product.
The Japanese have a saying “A good product sells itself” but most brands, not well packaged will never get the chance if they are not attractive enough to draw initial interest.
No matter how rugged your product is, no matter how much you want to concentrate on quality, never forget the compelling power of packaging.
