7. Packaging strategy selection points. The role of product packaging is to protect the product itself, to facilitate consumer use, beautify the product, increase product added value and sales promotion. Reasonable product packaging strategies have a very important influence on the company's product marketing activities. Specific attention should be paid to the following points:

(1) Points to note when changing the shape of the package. In general, the shape of the package is determined by the geometry of the product, but in some cases, special considerations are needed, for example, to specifically reflect the inner beauty of the product, companies need to change the external shape of the product. If companies need to change their original packaging, they must first understand consumer spending and usage habits. Do they have conflicts with them? Also pay attention to consumers' line of sight habits. Do you agree with the circular packaging consumers? Why do you like flat or square packaging?

(2) Whether using family packaging or individual packaging, so-called family packaging means that all product items use the same or substantially similar packaging. The advantage of this is to reduce the design of the packaging, printing costs; because of the promotion of a product project will drive other products, can reduce advertising expenses; can also use the company's successful product projects to drive the sale of other product projects. However, the disadvantage is that if one or several products have problems, it will also affect other product projects. If a single package is used, packaging costs and promotion costs are high, but it will not have a concomitant effect on other product items due to a problem with a product project. This requires companies to decide based on marketing goals and marketing risk.

(3) Use a combination package. Within the same package, the packaging series is the associated product, which is a combination package. A toothpaste and a toothbrush are packaged together; a set of cosmetics are packaged together and so on. The advantage of combination packaging is that it can increase the sales volume of the company's products. When customers need to purchase related products, they do not only recognize the products purchased by one company. In most cases, they buy the products of several companies. When using a combination package to allow customers to buy a series of products, try to buy the company's products; at the same time, it also adapts to the customer's purchase for the purpose of gifts;
