Funnels: What They Are, Where They Came From, and Why Most Are Built Backward

A funnel is not a website. It’s not a single email. It’s not an overpriced software platform someone tried to sell you in a webinar. It’s the journey someone takes from “Who are you?” → “This is interesting...” → “I need this in my life” → “Take my money.”

How to Make a Lasting Impression on Customers Through Product Packaging

Starting a product based business is stressful enough. You have to brainstorm ideas for a product to sell, figure out how to bring it to life, develop a marketing strategy, and basically leave the space left on your calendar wire thin.

More often than not, packaging is the last thing you’ll think about because, let’s face it, it’s simply just a way to deliver the product to the hands of your customers, right? Wrong.

In the world of online transactions, the packaging your product comes in may very well be the only physical interaction your customers have with your business, so it’s important to make it a great one.

The time may come as your business grows to invest in some branded packaging. We’re not talking about when you have your own warehouses across the country and are rolling out hundreds of orders per day. In this day and age, branded and unique packaging can be more affordable than you might think.

Keep reading as we dive into the effects of product packaging in today’s world and how to use it to communicate your brand messaging and impress your customers!
