First thing to remember when choosing which packing to use for your products is to choose a proper package or bubble mailer that Fits your product a little 'breathing' room is what most products need,Sometimes you may think your product needs to be packaged tighter or needs to be completely stuffed with packing peanuts that Is not always the case I have received an item or two that arrived broken because the packaging was too tight so when the package was being bounced around in the mail room instead of the item being able to have a small amount of 'bounce' room it just smashed up against what was tightly around it & broke.Also ALWAYS remember to mark your package properly according to your products,In big bold black sharpie on the back side of your package you should Always write 'Hand Stamp' (So that the stamping machine doesn't smash whats inside),'Do not bend',or 'Handle with care' on your package other wise your package could end up broken which owning your own Etsy store you do not want to happen because then you lose money having to replace it.
Looking for ways to make your package more exciting for your Customer? Customers love to see pretty packaging 80% of the time your packaging & its contents could be what brings you repeat customers.If you have an item that needs to be wrapped in tissue paper or bubble wrap try finding some Multi colored tissue paper instead of just going with black or white,Try holiday colors for certain Holidays like black & orange for Halloween.Customers also like to know that you care for them as a person & a customer you can do small things such as including a business card or two with special discount codes for the next time they buy,Including extra's gives you a chance that they will pass one onto a friend or family member,Another great way is to Include a hand written or sometimes typed Thank you note or card.Instead of plain brown bubble mailers you can try out colorful bubble mailers which can be found at most stores,99 cent stores & the post office.Remember to shop smart & save money if you check your local dollar store you can find packing supplies such as bubble mailers,document mailers,packing tape,bubble wrap & More.
