Sales packaging is the epitome of marketing strategy. The psychological strategy of packaging design is a very logical marketing idea. It not only attracts specific consumers in the auditorium to produce the expected purchase behavior, but also captures the excitement of consumers from the psychological point of view. Buying desire. To sum up, consumers generally have the following mentalities when shopping:

First, seek psychological customers shopping for convenience, such as transparent or window-packed food can be easily selected; modular packaging of gift baskets can be easily used; flexible packaging drinks, such as portable speed, packaging, convenience and ease of use to add goods Attractive. The foreign popular "barrier-free" packaging, such as pull-type identification discriminates the type of detergent with a zigzag logo in the identification package; in the canned food, the "automatically-identifying logo that proves that the cap blank has not passed the shelf life" is set, etc. They were originally developed to meet the needs of the elderly and the disabled. The result was widely enjoyed by consumers. It is clear that seeking convenience is the consumer's psychology.

Second, realistic psychological products, including packaging, its design must be able to meet the core needs of consumers, that is, must have real value. In the cultural groups of all ages, the elderly are most concerned about simplicity and reality, but now the various health supplements for the elderly are generally overpackaged in the form of “more than content”. Even if these products can attract occasional gift purchases, it is difficult to win the loyalty of consumers and lack the motivation for long-term development.

Third, the new psychology Especially for high technological content of products, packaging, materials, processes, styles and interior design should reflect the advanced nature of technology. For example, three-dimensional packaging, aseptic packaging, anti-theft packaging, and the like produced by the concave-convex technology can reflect the outstanding achievements of science and technology through novel and unique packaging and reflect the superior performance of the product.

Only when the temperature of beer refrigerated is optimum, the lively little penguin will show up and guarantee to the consumers that it is genuine and satisfying. The letter seeking psychology.

Fifth, the United States psychological product packaging design is the crystallization of decorative arts. The exquisite packaging can stimulate high-level social needs of consumers. The packaging with deep artistic appeal is a kind of enjoyment for package buyers, and it is to promote potential consumers to become apparent consumers and become long-lasting types. The driving force of customary consumers. Most of the world famous wines are very elegant. The glow from the bottle to the box is artistic - this is one of the most elegant and successful packaging promotions.

Sixth, seeking psychology People need to be relaxed and humorous in particular in a stressful life. A company in the United States printed various interesting riddles on the can lids of the biscuits it produced. It was only after eating biscuits that they could find answers in the absence of secrets. The products were very popular and welcome. China's children's food "Qi Duo" corn crisp bag is accompanied by a small circle, a certain number of small circle can be made into toys, the more small circle, the more beautiful the toys to fight, the results charming a large number of small customers. Curiosity can often drive them to repeat purchases.

Seven, seeking for differences

Young people in particular like to be different, like to seek differences, find curiosity, seek new ideas, and strive to find opportunities to express themselves. Targeting such consumption as the target market, product packaging can boldly adopt taboo colors, break through tradition in terms of styling, and advocate “new generation choices” in logos, in order to guide trends and create fashion. However, such consumers have unstable and elusive minds, and the trend is fickle, so their package promotion is a high-risk, high-return attempt. Consumer psychology can also be subdivided according to criteria such as ecological psychology and gender psychology. The multi-level segmentation of the consumer's psychological market determines that packaging promotions must also be conducted from multiple perspectives.

With the improvement of the material and cultural living standards, people’s consumption concepts are constantly developing. Today's fashion may be outdated tomorrow. Therefore, the sales and packaging of goods must continue to improve, seeking balance, harmony and unity in inheriting tradition and creativity.

A successful packaging promotion is the producer's mindset, the creator's mindset and the buyer's demand psychology. Commodity sales packaging only grasps the psychology of consumers, caters to their preferences, satisfies their needs, and stimulates and guides their emotions. Only in this way can they stand out in the fierce business warfare and secure their success.
