Getting someone’s attention in today’s noisy online world is hard. Getting their attention offline can be just as hard.
However when you ship someone a parcel you have their full attention right at the point they decide to open their package.
You know that feeling right?
Your parcel arrives, you tear it open and you look at everything inside the package.
At this point in time, the company has your full attention!
As a business owner, this is a critical time when you should promote your business, share other related products, content, offers, events or whatever you want.
Remember you have their attention.
The “opening the box time” is memorable. The time when the customer is thinking only about your business, thinking about what they ordered and usually it’s a moment of happiness they are experiencing.

If you ship physical products try creating Thank You Cards as shown in the video below.
Encourage your customers to share their orders on social media using a hashtag of your choice and hopefully, they will return online to make another purchase using the discount code.
