After shipping 7,118 designer handbags, here's how to make your packaging and box one of your top sales tools: 1. Use a quality box: Get a good deal on your boxes, but be sure they are the right size and quality for what you are shipping. If you use recycled boxes, make a sticker explaining how you are helping the environment. 2. Keep your labels straight! It seems simple, but every little bit leaves an impression on your customer. Your shipping labels should be perfectly straight and in the corner of each shipment. 3. Use great inner packaging: Craft paper, bubble wrap, sealed air—whatever you use, think about how the customer will feel when they open your box. Avoid Styrofoam peanuts at all costs. 4. Send a message: Include a thank-you note with each order. Your note should include a photo of you, your team, or whoever packed the shipment. Make it personal. 5. Coupons: You want a direct relationship with your buyers. Offering a discount on their next order, ideally via your website, helps build your customer list. 6. Subscribe: What incentive can you give them to subscribe to your newsletter? When we shipped CE products, we offered to double their warranty if they subscribed. 7. Stickers on boxes (inside or out) are a great way to build your brand. I also like this ink-roller idea that came up on my Instagram feed today. Your box is your salesperson for future sales. Use it to build credibility and loyalty. Make sure your Out of Box Experience is impressive! Cheers to your success!

I flipped trucks like this in college. We had a secret weapon that gave us an unfair advantage. There was a publication that came out each Thursday called the EZ-Ad. You might have something similar in your area – Penny Saver, for example. This was pre-web. No one was selling cars online. This text-only publication had all kinds of stuff for sale, including cars and trucks. We would scour the EZ-Ad for anything priced below the local market, mostly trucks, because they were in demand. Our unfair advantage was that we got access to the EZ-ad hours before anyone else. A random phone call turned us on to this unfair advantage. Thursday morning would come, and two of my buddies and I would drive all over town looking for the latest EZ-Ad. We wanted to find the deals before anyone else did. But it took a ton of time, and it was random. So, I finally just called the EZ-Ad offices and asked them when the deliveries were made. They couldn’t tell me. But before I hung up, the receptionist made this seemingly innocuous comment: “We put the latest edition in our office lobby at 9 AM.” Wait, what?! Guess where we were the following Thursday at 9 AM. In the lobby of EZ-Ad HQ, of course. This went on for 3 years. We would get the EZ-Ad early and call sellers who had trucks priced low. We would immediately drive to the seller’s location and bring cash. But that wasn’t enough. We found a local guy who could paint these trucks for us. Cheaply We painted every truck white with a grey stripe along the bottom of each side. White and grey were hot sellers, and they made these trucks look newer than they were. After three years, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t see multiple white and grey trucks driving around town. It was glorious.
