5 Critical Factors For Your Vape Product Labels

As the vaping market continues to grow, with competition increasing daily, it becomes even more important to develop packages and vape product labels that are strategically planned and executed for maximum impact. Here are five critical items to assure success with your vape product labels:

1. Target Audience?

First, ask yourself the question "who are you selling to?" This makes a big difference in terms of vape product label presentation style and approach. The same promotional techniques used for older consumers do not necessarily succeed with younger generations. These groups' attitudes, tastes and perspectives vary greatly, especially in terms of visual appeals that work or product formulations that are targeted to certain ages

How Label Design Influences Consumer Purchasing

Want to grow your brand's sales? One of the best ways to do so is through label design and packaging. What your product looks like on store shelves can make a big difference when it comes to attracting shoppers' attention and making the sale.

A great deal of research reveals how effective various facets of product appearance can be, including package shape, label, color, and other elements. Some, like a study in the Netherlands, have sought to understand the relationship between package design and consumer behavior in an effort to influence the adoption of more sustainable packaging. Others have investigated the role of nutritional labeling required by governmental regulations

Effective Marketing Terms to Consider Using on Your Label Artwork

Whatever brand or product you're selling, creating package labels is no simple matter. Just listing ingredients or giving a generic product description is never enough. There needs to be a certain amount of promotional language as well, in order for consumers to even notice what you're offering, and then realize how it differs from all the competitors on the shelf. Without distinctive packaging, attention-getting label artwork and value-focused text, you're essentially leaving shoppers in the dark, with no clue as to why they should choose your product over others.

So next time you sit down to write the verbiage for your labels, here are some helpful ideas for incorporating more sell-worthy marketing material into the mix:

Beer Can Label Art Can Sell Your Brand Big Time

As the craft beer industry continues to boom, competition is getting fiercer - leading to brewers using distinctive craft beer can labels to stand out from the pack. Creativity sells, so beer labels are fast becoming not only a marketing tool, but an art form in themselves. According to Hewlett Packard's Garage blog, some bottles have even achieved status as collectors' items.

The world of packaging is always changing. Your product labeling needs to keep up with the competition, as well as with regulatory issues and other concerns. Here are five ways to check whether those new product labels you have in the works will really do the job in the marketplace:

What's Trending In Organic Food Labeling?

With consumers increasingly looking to eat well and be well, brands wanting to tie into the growing demand for healthy lifestyle choices are reformulating and repackaging to meet the demand. Kraft Heinz, for example, has expanded its environmental strategy, aiming to make 100 percent of its packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. Food growers are taking the initiative, too - New Hope Network, which is known for calling out the most innovative, inspirational and integrity-driven products in the natural products industry, said that regenerative agriculture is one of the new trends.

Bud Light Improves Nutrition Label - Is Your Craft Beer Nutritional Label Next?

As of February, Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light is the first major beer brand to debut new, larger format beer nutrition labels. The Associated Press reported that the beer's calories and ingredients, as well as the amount of fat, carbohydrates and protein per serving, are now prominently stated. This was a voluntary move - the AP said it's not legally required - but it came in the wake of a 2016 agreement by major beer brands to disclose nutritional facts on their beer labels by 2020. Bud Light will very likely be the first of many beer makers to join the larger label movement. Some beers, like Corona Light, Guinness, Heineken and Coors Light, already show calories and other information on bottles or packaging, but usually only in fine print or hidden on the bottom of six packs, with ingredients typically not listed.
