Packaging for consumer products can be regarded as a psychological stimulus, deliberately designed to influence how the customer reacts to it and decides whether to add it to their shopping basket. Consumers develop an attitude about a product based on all the stimuli provided by the product packaging. In this blog article, we will talk about how packaging can affect the psychology of customers.
Just Like a Gift
The excitement associated with unwrapping a recently purchased product is comparable to that experienced when receiving gifts. Captivating product packaging is a fantastic method to raise consumer interest in a product and can even boost sales. This is why it is crucial to make a good first impression, especially when it comes to product packaging. The packaging of a product can significantly affect the consumer's emotional connections to it, whether or not they are aware of it. When it comes to initial impressions, details such as quality and color are significant.
It is scientifically proved that colors influence human psychology to a great extent. However, it should be noted that they may have different associations depending on cultural backgrounds. While some colors are associated with negative impressions in one culture, they are associated with positive impressions in another. Therefore, it is essential for brands to select colors for their product packaging based on more than just how appealing and appropriate they are for the product; they also need to consider whether those colors have any significant cultural impacts in the market where the products are sold.
Moreover, some research shows that how a product is perceived also depends on the shape of the packaging. In general, harder lines and edges are seen as "tougher" and more male, whereas softer, flowing lines are seen as more feminine. But there are some notable exceptions as well.
