Review and Upgrade Your Packaging:

• Assess your current packaging materials and design. Consider if they are robust enough to handle increased shipping volume and potentially rough transit.
• Upgrade to sturdier materials if necessary to ensure your products arrive in excellent condition.
• Incorporate eye-catching designs that reflect your brand’s values. BoxUp’s custom shipping boxes are designed to not only protect your products but also enhance your brand’s visibility.

Leverage Packaging for Promotions:

• Use Q4 as an opportunity to engage customers with limited-time offers or holiday-themed designs. BoxUp has tons of pre-made templates you can use for your boxes.
• Consider custom branded packing tape to add a festive touch or convey special messages. This can make your packaging stand out and encourage customers to share their unboxing experiences on social media. Plus it’s budget-friendly!

Plan Ahead to Avoid Extra Costs:

• Anticipate the surge in demand and order your packaging materials early to avoid the stress and extra costs of rush shipping. Many of BoxUp’s small business customers place their holiday packaging orders in September to take advantage of their economy shipping options.
• By forecasting your needs and ordering in bulk well before the peak season, you can secure better rates and ensure timely delivery of your packaging supplies.
• Planning ahead will keep your stress levels low and can prevent shipping delays for your customers. 

By preparing now and investing in quality, customized packaging, you’ll be well-positioned to impress your customers and boost your sales as the year comes to a close. The super helpful team at BoxUp can help you make the most of this Q4 with packaging solutions designed to enhance your brand and streamline your operations.
