With summer drawing to a close, autumn and the holiday season are on the horizon. For brands large and small, this means one thing: the holidays are just around the corner. There’s no better time than now than to start planning for them. This holiday season standout with custom packaging, designed by you!
If your small business is thinking of offering special holiday packaging—either for seasonal marketing or as a gift wrap option—an early start will help ensure you get exactly what you need when you need it. Read on to learn about the many benefits of custom seasonal packaging for small businesses, along with how DIYPack can help you bring your vision to life.
Customized shipping boxes help increase your brand value while simultaneously improving the customer experience. These benefits exist all year round; however, seasonal packaging has its own set of unique advantages. If you’re running special holiday sales or campaigns, custom packaging is the perfect way to promote them. The more “buzz” you generate about your seasonal specials, the better results you’re likely to have.
Seasonal packaging is also an additional branding opportunity. It gives you a chance to create custom holiday shipping boxes that reinforce your brand statement, reinforce your relationships with your customers, and build consumer trust.
On a related note, seasonally themed custom boxes feel special to customers and help foster extra excitement for the package and its contents. Personalized packaging is also highly shareable on social media, which further boosts your brand presence with user generated content.
Lastly, seasonal packaging has a practical benefit: it can do double-duty as gift wrap for products shipped directly to recipients. In the hectic holiday season, your customers will appreciate the ease of doing business with you—which also reduces paper waste, too! Having a product that is an all-in-one solution will keep you top of mind for the next holiday season or even their next celebration.
Now that we’ve made the case for custom holiday shipping packages, it begs the question: Where do you get them? DIYPack offers a smart and simple solution. Our online design feature lets you create your own customized package in three simple steps:
Choose the style, size, material, quantity, and printing options.
Select your look from our library of designs and customize with your own pictures and text or create your own custom boxes from scratch.
Place your order and DIYPack will print your boxes and ship them straight to you.
To make sure your custom mailing boxes are perfect, we offer no minimum orders. This means you can order one box as a sample to make sure it’s just how you envisioned it. If needed, make any changes in the design studio, and place your full order. Our no minimum policy also means that you can order in lower quantities so you won’t have to worry about having a ton of leftover seasonal boxes come January.
