Unboxing | Creating a memorable unboxing experience

What is unboxing?

Over 90,000 people type 'unboxing' into YouTube every month. There are many videos with over 10 million views. Just like the name suggests an unboxing video is exactly that – a video of a product being unboxed. With any unboxing video, it all starts with the packaging, this is what’s first seen, this is what catches our eye and this is what needs to have the wow factor.  Unboxing videos have become a crucial part of marketing for Ecommerce Brands recently and below we will explain a bit more about this and how you can create a memorable unboxing experience for your brand.

Why is unboxing important

We have watched the unboxing trend become increasingly popular, it is a great way for a bit of free marketing and also a way to share your brand's story. Statistics also now show that consumers watch unboxing videos as part of their product research before purchasing.

In e-commerce, you have fewer ways to wow customers versus physical retail in a store. However, an unboxing video is a great way to give you that equal chance to really show off eye-catching packaging and an amazing product virtually. This is where you can show what sets you apart from competitors and creates a memorable experience for your customers. It also encourages social media shares, the more you engage your audience the more people will want to share their unboxing experience, so now is the time to create a memorable unboxing experience for your Brand.

Here are a few tips we think are helpful,

• Choose Packaging that is the perfect fit- We know that choosing the right sized packaging and correct packing material is crucial for the product, not only to keep it safe and secure but also to show it off to its best potential.
