Try Me! Try Me! Effective sampling with GalleryBoard Packaging

Try Me! Try Me! 

Getting your client's attention & focus is never easy, and the challenge increases exponentially when you are trying to convince your target to clear space (whether shelf, warehouse, inventory, or mind) for a new product, service, or approach.

Consider allowing your sales team's sample kit do the heavy lifting.  

In this case study, a well-known consumer nutritional brand introduces line extensions to their trade in a polished, hard working sample kit - one that showcases actual product samples as well as neatly presents product collateral.

It is obvious to the target that the company has been thoughtful about the information a potential buyer will need to know prior to making a decision.  Although the sample kit here is a ready-made style, it has been accessorized with custom fit trays, closure velcros and a handle - and decorated with pantone color art that hints bespoke.  

It's that kind of thoughtfulness that will get your sales pitch noticed - and purchased.

The item E-11 R-23 featured in this case study is just one of the over 400+ ready-made styles in the GalleryBoard Packaging line.  All 400 styles are printed and cut to order in our Houston factory, from 100% recycled content fiberboard, chlorine-free paper cover -  and then assembled and shipped by employees who care.  Allow 7-10 business days from art approval for shipping.  Never out of stock - always made fresh!

Our Random Samples are always no-charge -- provide your FedEx or UPS for shipping - and give us your, or your client's ship-to - and the samples will wing there way to a new home quickly!

Attention Getting Product Launches - Showcasing a Superior Product

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”  Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

What brick walls are you facing today?  

Consider getting around - breaking through - flying over them by taking a new, unexpected approach.  If it is safe - it is probably not going to work.

This product manufacturer chose to present a technically superior product extension in a showcase gift box.  In a category where product launches are typically low-spend, taking an unexpected approach with a buyer meeting resulted in attention given to the performance aspects of the new product that warrant it gaining shelf space.

This Case Study and 100's more are available in our dropbox library of photos & studies.  Email CustomerService@theplatformgroupgallery.com to gain access to the library.  (you can download, view, share with clients).  These Case Studies are the way over, through, around the wall.

Creative Service Agency puts best forward with Best in Show capabilities kit

If you are touting your skills as creative agency, then you want to make sure that your prospecting / capabilties kit shows off your creative talents.  

That sounds like common sense - but how many of us really do put our money where our mouth is?

When you make contact with your clients, are your materials showing off your talents?

Consider taking an inventory of your capabilities, prospecting, self-promotion kits.  How do these collateral pieces represent you? Could you use some upgrading?

Now, offer to do the same inventory for your clients.  Browse what they use to open doors, prospect, tout capabilties, build relationships, thank clients.  Are those materials really showing them off? or are they sub-optimizing their efforts and image?

This Creative Design Agency is showing off capabilties by putting their money where their mouth is - with good, no, great, design.  This mini folio touts a CD hub to place a digital capabilties CD, and every surface is used to project the power of creative design.  

This ready-made item (40-34 R-12) is from the GalleryBoard Packaging line -- and is one of the over 400 ready-made, made from 100% recycled content fiberboard press kits, folios, binders, gift boxes and desk storage in the line.  All made in the USA - decorated to order (in spot or CMYK).

The Case Study flyer is available for your use as a jpeg or pdf.  Other case studies available in our dropbox library (email for permission link) - and in albums on the GalleryBoard Packaging Facebook page.
