Premium and Functional Merchandise: Neoprene Twin Bottle Sleeves

One of the most common ways of selling wines is just placing them on stands where clients can see the variety of wines offered. This is always a great idea as customers can visualise the whole bank of wines we are selling. However, if we are selling wines of different quality and values, we sometimes need to think about how to present them to our customers in order to send out the message that the wine is of high quality. We could do this by using high-end packaging in order to give our clients the visualization and image the wine deserves.

How does packaging help clients visualise the quality of wine?

Nowadays, in marketing campaigns, we always need to find a way that customers will really go: “Wow! What an amazing packaging, I wonder what the product is inside?”. Many product providers may think that the product and its performance is more important than what the packaging looks like. This is not entirely true as the packaging can play a role in the success or failure of the sales of the product.

Thus, how a product is packaged may be what attracts the consumer to take a look on the product as it sits on store shelves. Therefore, it is fundamental to conduct extensive research on special designs and coloring of the types of product packaging that is the most appealing to attract our consumers.

At the same time, while offering this kind of packaging, we can also include some other promotional products like bottle openers to increase the value of our brand and the wine we want to sell.
