What's In A Package Thomas Hine

Packaging has become key to the success of a product as proven by kellogg’s cereal, many alcohol brands, and almost as many toilet paper brands. Thomas Hine’s article What’s in a Package explains the reasoning behind packaging why it is an influential as it is. Without packaging most products would be nothing. Companies have learned how to appeal to human emotions in order to increase the sales of their products. These are things that the average person does not even realize catches them because it is done subconsciously. Without the amount of time that is put into designing packages most products would not be as informative as they are now. Customers would have to spend more time looking at things to figure out if that is really what they want. With the competitive atmosphere packaging has created it makes shopping that much quicker and rakes in more profits for the companies. Thomas Hine has given people an inside look at how important packaging really is and has shed a completely different like on consumerism

Firstly, we see the word natural in a lot of everyday stuff we use. In marketing it is a common named that is used for selling the product. Advertisers use the word “natural” to persuade people who are looking after their health to buy their product. Like in the product Kettle chips, they use the slogan in the ad “We make our potato chips using the freshest natural ingredients.” Like all natural cheddar or sea salt. The ad features a jingle with the announcer describing the product. They are trying to get the people to buy their chips, by knowing what is in them makes people want to buy it. Also, by thinking it is going to make them more healthier. Knowing that it is made with all natural ingredients and no preservatives. Another ad that

Cultural differences between nations often require a company to have multiple marketing strategies. What may be acceptable in on country may not be acceptable in another country. The cultural differences require companies to develop marketing plans that are suitable for each individual culture. Not being aware of and understanding the cultural differences can create costly and embarrassing errors that may actually offend those in other countries. Cultural differences can affect the colors of products, the graphics used on packaging, and how the product is communicated to the foreign target market.

Frontline documentary The Persuaders discusses the spiritual transcendence and emotional bonds brands can form with today’s consumers. A vast majority of brands use emotional branding as a way to attract consumers into purchasing their products. Emotional branding is an appeal to a consumer 's needs, desires and emotional state. Brands use emotional branding by presenting consumers with advertisements that will create meaning and identity. Emotional branding is not about what the product is, but what it means to consumers. Eyeshadow advertisements “The Blushed Nude” from Maybelline New York and “Colorstay” from Revlon present similar products that create distinct emotional bonds with consumers by presenting images of women with distinct emotional desires. Desires of love, independence, and strength give rise to consumers to find an identity and meaning within the advertisements.

In the essay “What's Natural about Our Natural Products?”, Sarah Federman claims that although many people believe that the word natural on a food label means that a product is healthier than others, natural doesn't actually mean anything, because is an unregulated word. The author describes how marketers use the word “natural” to bait people in to buying a certain product thinking that is better than another “unnatural” product. She says that the word is most prevalent at the grocery store, and gives examples of different products with the word “natural” on their label. Federman explains the difference between the products that don't have “natural” on the label and the ones that do. She states that, often, the “natural” food products are more

Global markets vary about their level of development. Also, the kind of products sold in each of these markets will differ depending on the degree of development. Language and cultural affinity are vital in global markets. Culture comprises everything from the way of thinking and doing business to the consumption arrangements of the people. Therefore, understanding the culture is essential as it accords clues on how to do business in such nations. In some countries, there exists a natural hostility to foreigners as well as foreign business. Also, culture commands the approach to dealing. For instance, in the United States as well as Western nations, they are approaching in communicating their lack of ability to accept the products, whereas, in the eastern nations, they are more circumspect (Havaldar, 2014). Aspects including punctuality, the procedures as well as civilities in carrying out business, the negotiation course, and even dressing differ from culture to culture, and these aspects should be understood to succeed in such a setting.

5. In what ways does the product’s packaging need changing when the product is being marketed in another country?

What Gladwell calls “thin-slicing” or rapid cognition, should be done in context. Examples of the market researches on taste-test of Coke and Pepsi samples, survey of people’s acceptance of Michael Kenna’s music and two radically new TV shows on CBS have been quoted to emphasize the importance of context in thin-slicing. Numerous instances of products that received higher acceptance among the public only because they were packaged differently make it clear to us that thin-slicing is useful only when done the right way. When a product is new and different, it is vulnerable to market research, which in most cases is not done in the right context, thus leading to the product being shelved.

The proliferation of packaging products and poor product education has caused confusion among end users. US consumers have traditionally viewed packaging supplies as a cost-saving resource. Consequently, packaging engineers are accorded high status and influence roughly 40% of material purchase decisions. The US market is experiencing strong growth, driven in part by the growth of the coated and uncoated bubbles segment. However, AirCap's market share remains stagnant (Appendix A).

Changes witnessed over the last few years on mode of packaging and its economic impact.

The packaging was thought out properly: “liquid-bottle form with mini breath strips clearly visible through the clear plastic container.” According to Martin Ross (1995) “sensory brand images would perform well in countries where high individualism is a dominant cultural pattern”, “a product with sensory appeal provides novelty, variety, and sensory gratification” . CMF embodied this image.

After television ads, packaging is the most effective form of marketing foods for children. Packaging attracts kids with color, fun characters that they can relate to, and toy prizes in the box that may cause the children to just want the toy

"The naming of the product, service or company is called branding. A brand or name is the label that consumers associate with your product. For this reason, a brand or name should help communicate the product's positioning and its inherent drama for the consumer" (Roman G. Hiebing Jr and Scott W. Cooper; The successful marketing plan, a disciplined and comprehensive approach; 2003).

Starting a new product is never easy for a company. The difficulties they face are diverse in nature, and often they lack initiatives so that customers are not interested in the product.
