The Shopping Bag: The Hidden Marketing Potential of the Secondary Packaging


Product packaging has gone from being simple containers to actual brand enhancers. The trend today has gone beyond conventional boundaries of thought with components such as electronic support units (Example: RFID) and functional elements such as pizza boxes that help to keep the pizza hot for a longer time. It is these changes that are defining the nature and trend of packaging which has brought out its hidden potential and it clearly indicates that the secondary packaging has a lot to it than what meets the eye.

It’s All in the Looks!
PackagingNo one ever considers Shopping Bags as creative advertising and marketing tools when in fact it is the packaging that affects the buyer’s decision. When people underestimate the power of the shopping bags as a powerful marketing tool, they are not wrong. The trend of using interactive, functional and visually appealing shopping bags has surfaced rather recently with the packages themselves serving an important purpose of enhancing brand image as well as generating value for the brand. 

Customers Relate Better to Visually Attractive Shopping Bags!
Shopping BagsIt does not take heavy investments or super creative geniuses to figure out deigns that not only convey effective messages but convey information with a certain humour that everyone seems to cherish. Take for example the image where a shopping bag is depicted as having a digestive system replication. When people use the shopping bag to carry vegetables, it only exemplifies the message that has been printed on it – “Help Cure Hunger in New York”. Now this is a message that everyone can relate to.

Appealing Shopping Bags that Are Functional!
It was but evident that the growing trend of creative and appealing gift carry bags would require an edge to be able to stand out from the crowd. So, manufacturers came up with a functional aspect of the packaging bags that allowed them to be used to serve the products in a better manner. Consider this image depicting a creative shopping bag for carrying coffee. When you open the bag from its latch, it opens up into a beautiful tray so that the coffee can be served right from its package. This is indeed a very useful way of making optimal utilization of secondary packaging.
