Running a Giveaway within your organization is a great way to increase engagement. No matter what your goal is, generating excitement and energy for your brand should be good for the company overall. Just don't leave the giveaway Packaging to the last moment.

We often talk about the importance of packaging on this site--unsurprisingly--but the truth is, packaging matters. Especially when you want to make a good impression. At Sunrise, we know a lot about promotional packaging. And whether the ultimate goal is to gain new leads, reward current clients, increase employee productivity... Well, the gift packaging is key to truly making the promo feel like a reward.

Sometimes, it's easiest to put yourself in the shoes of someone else. Let's say you win tickets to an exclusive event. Or an incentive trip. And when you go to collect your prize, how would you like to see it presented?

There's the throwaway packaging. An envelope, or plain brown box, something with zero sentiment or doesn't induce a single emotion.

And on the other hand, we have a well-crafted box. Like the example to the side, which was created for Hellas Construction.  This box was used for a ticket giveaway. We're a big fan of it as a great example of not just promotional packaging, but as a giveaway box as well.

Emblazoned with the logo and branded with the colors and aesthetic of the company, there is no question regarding who is the giver of this product. It's designed with the purpose of not only to convey a prize to the winning party, but for the giver to stick in the mind of the recipient as well. Magnetic boxes with soft touch lamination send a message. The kind of message that says, We don't skimp corners in any area of our business.

Which one would make you more excited: a plain brown box or this mag box?

The Choice is Clear

Creating engagement should be embedded in the crafting of your giveaway campaign. From the messaging to the platform to the giveaway itself, everything should be in place to maximize relevancy to your audience and generate excitement.  Your promotions should include the Giveaway Packaging. And that, in and of itself, should be treated as your most potent marketing tool throughout the strategy execution.
