PG Webcast: Leveraging Packaging to Differentiate and Better Serve Shoppers
With an estimated 50 percent to 70 percent of purchasing decisions made at the store shelf, each product only has a few seconds to shine. Because of this, packaging of consumer goods can be a key factor in a shopper’s decision to add it to his or her basket. And with private label brands playing an increasingly significant role in grocers’ assortments, packaging of these products is becoming a key contributor to successful merchandising. In this interactive webcast, sponsor Sealed Air’s Cryovac Food Packaging will join forces with Daymon Worldwide to discuss the top ways packaging can be used to differentiate a grocer’s products and to better meet shoppers’ needs.
Among topics to be discussed:
- How private brands are defining their role in the marketplace
- Using private label design to catch consumers' attention
- Packaging media's influence on sales
- How packaging differentiation intersects private-label strategy
- Three prominent points of packaging differentiation
- How packaging prolongs freshness, drives convenience
