The brief availability of many of these packaging campaigns also lends them an exclusive feel.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to try creating some special edition packaging, there are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Have a solid brand foundation<\/b>. Limited editions often work best when they\u2019re tied to a product with an existing brand with a strong following. It\u2019s difficult to get people excited about special packaging if they don\u2019t already have a connection with your brand.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Consider the packaging longevity. <\/b>Many companies create extra durable or robust packages for their special editions to increase their collectibility. If you\u2019re hoping consumers turn your package into a keepsake, keep this in mind.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Time your campaign well<\/b>. You\u2019ll get the most impact if you run your special edition packaging at a time when customers are more open to them. Running a limited edition during a busy shopping season like Christmas or Valentine\u2019s Day may dull the new packaging\u2019s shine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Bold colors<\/h2>\n<p>What better way to draw attention to yourself than through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/how-21-brands-use-colors-to-influence-customers\/\">bold colors<\/a>?
