Christmas gift box packaging 

Gift box packaging is a powerful marketing tool. Whether Christmas-themed or for general gifting, it proves very popular during the festive season. In this blog we highlight the advantages of incorporating them into your marketing strategy.

First impressions matter

Creating a memorable first impression is essential. Holiday-themed aesthetics can elevate your brand and encourage gifting to others during this special time of year. Seasonal boxes stand out from the crowd and are often perceived as higher value, offering a unique experience for your customers. More than 60% of shoppers say gift-like packaging excites them when received.

Customer endorsements

Customers are key to the success of gift packaging. Often becoming natural brand ambassadors, sharing their experiences with friends and family, or placing your products under the tree for others to enjoy. This increases your brand’s reach and, for the recipient, leaves a positive association. Additionally, visually appealing packaging is made for sharing on social media.

Influencer boxes

Leveraging social media through influencer kit boxes is another effective strategy. These holiday-themed packages are customised and catered to a certain individual or audience. When unboxed and showcased to their fans, they generate authentic engagement and excitement. Successful campaigns, like PR packages shared by beauty influencers, often go viral and create a buzz around new products, especially at Christmas time!

Efficient logistics

There are many benefits to consolidating multiple products into a single container. For common festive gifts like candles or cosmetics, which tend to be curved or round, square packaging minimises empty space between the products and allows for more efficient packing. Some boxes are even designed to go straight in the post skipping a logistical step entirely, making it super-easy for the consumer and ensuring they arrive in time for the big day.
