Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner—are you ready for the rush? More importantly, is your packaging ready? How you package your products for these mega-sales can directly impact your customer experience, brand loyalty, and bottom line.
Want to know how to prepare your packaging for the busiest shopping days of the year? Let’s dive in!
Why packaging is crucial for holiday sales success
First impressions matter
The moment customers see their order, the packaging speaks volumes about your brand. Did it arrive damaged? Does it look cheap? A negative first impression can turn excitement into disappointment quickly.
Custom packaging helps you control that first impression. According to recent studies, 72% of consumers say packaging design influences their buying decisions. This becomes even more important during high-volume sales like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Creating an unboxing experience
Today’s customers want more than just the product—they want an unboxing experience. The way a package opens, the branding inside, and even little touches like holiday-themed tissue paper can create a lasting impression.
With unboxing videos trending on social media, your packaging could be the star of the show! At 105Packaging, we help you design custom mailer boxes and shipping solutions that turn first-time buyers into lifelong fans.
Steps to optimize your packaging for Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Use custom packaging to build brand loyalty
Custom packaging isn’t just about putting your logo on the box. It’s about building an emotional connection with your customers. Use bold colors, holiday graphics, or personalized thank-you notes to make each package feel special.
This attention to detail makes your customers feel appreciated, which can turn a single purchase into long-term loyalty.
And with 105Packaging’s ultra print quality, your designs will pop, ensuring that your brand stands out.
Ensure durability for heavy shipping
Black Friday and Cyber Monday mean lots of orders, and your products will be handled by multiple carriers. Your packaging must be durable to protect products during shipping.
A damaged package can lead to returns, refunds, and unhappy customers. You don’t want that!
