Shownotes

August 2021 was the biggest month for Australia Post ever so it’s the perfect time to maintain your standard of quality, especially your packaging. Even if your business can deliver on its promise, a customer’s experience with your brand could end badly with something as simple as poor packaging.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why packaging is important—how it evokes different feelings for your customers and how you can use the experience to create lasting and positive emotions that will help increase your customer rates and referrals.
