Shopify: Creating a Memorable Experience with Ecommerce Packaging

Shopify’s article on how ecommerce businesses can use packaging to create a memorable unboxing experience for their brands emphasised a lot of the points that have drawn business to our custom products for years.

As Shopify noted, “Repeat customers will spend more with your business, and investing in retention and loyalty marketing can move you off the acquisition treadmill where you’re always trying to find new customers.” Custom printed ribbon is an affordable and simple solution, ensuring your brand stays front of mind with consumers.

Your packaging shouldn’t just be about making the customer feel special, but should be an experience that connects them with your brand in a meaningful way. Custom printed ribbon and tissue is one of the easiest and cost effective ways to add both branding and a premium feel and to packaging.

How your products are presented to your customer matters enormously, not only to provide a memorable brand experience and encourage repeat orders, but so your customers become ambassadors of your brand by sharing the experience their friends.
