Create Memorable Unboxing Experiences

UNBOXING EXPERIENCE
Are you giving your customers something to talk about, or share, when they buy from you?
The unboxing experience is now more important than ever before with the explosion of ecommerce. This is now a prime opportunity for brands to engage with consumers in the unpackaging time, and win more when the experience is shared with friends and followers. Think about it, when you’re with friends and they have something new, you may ask them where it came from. What’s the most regular answer?... “I bought it online”. It’s not a good enough answer for all the brands, marketeers and online retailers that spend their lives marketing and even remarketing to make sure that they get in front of you at the right moment online. Busy gaming Google, playing a digital game of snakes and ladders, only to discover the algorithms have changed and you tumble to the second page.
In the days of shopping on the high street you knew where it had come from, and it was an experience, but things are changing, and online retailers will have to change too. Kudos Giftwrap operates an in-house studio, for design and sampling, and we manage production, storage and logistics from our own distribution centre in Norfolk. We have worked with a number of retailers to improve the unboxing experience, and we understand the security issues for some industries, the importance of the safe transit for goods. But above all we understand the opportunity there is to capture this moment for brand engagement, so consumers know and remember where they purchased from.
Call us to discover more how we are helping online and traditional retailers to create great customer experiences - that will build a stronger business.

TISSUE PAPER
Increase awareness of your brand whilst fulfilling the desires and aspirations of your customers by opting for fully customised tissue paper, designed to enhance your unboxing experience.
Subtly branded tissue is never considered advertising. Within prestigious brand culture, such packaging is simply the done thing. And when your product is given as a present, branded tissue will let the receiver know that your brand is one that the giver would recommend and like to be associated with.
Tissue paper adds to the excitement of receiving a gift, implying to the recipient that what’s inside is precious and important. Give your customers this exclusive experience at a very cost-effective price. Due to minimum order quantities for printed tissue paper, the unit cost is often very low.
