112: Terri Goldstein, The Science of Package Design

You have 5 seconds to win the customer in a retail setting. How

can you use neuroscience and smart package design to jumpstart the
customer experience?

The science of package design

Marketing your brand in a retail setting today is more

competitive than ever. The decision to buy is now based on much
more than just quality and pricing.

Brand packaging, as our guest Terri Goldstein explains, used to

be an afterthought- often left in the hands of the ones printing
the labels. Today, executives understand they have five seconds to
win the customer over many other brand choices. Savvy marketers are
using neuroscience to tap into customer emotions and influence
choices.

Smart package design is much more than just making the product

stand out. Brands need to consider whom they are reaching out to.
How do those customers want to feel? How will they use the product
beyond its intended use, or as an expression of their own tastes
and values?

Package designers like Terri use a visual vocabulary based on

neuroscience to create packages that call to us at the store. These
designs connect with us on a subconscious level so we want to bring
them home, live with them, and be seen with them.

So how can you create packaging that speaks to your

customers?

Terri shares some standout examples of highly successful package

designs, and how they create connections strong enough to negate
pricing preferences and break old habits.
