Feeling overwhelmed while trying to develop a package
for your product? I'm not surprised. Packaging is the third
largest industry in the country. In fact, there are more

universe before you package anything. That is your first
step because you can't have a product without a package.
Which vendor is right for you? What is your packaging
material of choice? Do you understand the differences between
each material and what value each will bring to marketing
your product? How do you sift through the mounds of information
and resources to set started packaging your product? Here
are 5 easy steps to get you started.

Hi, I am JoAnn Hines the Packaging Diva.
You might wonder why I am considered a DIVA
but I can assure you that its really true. For a start
I have been invited to speak on packaging issues around the
world (including the White House twice) and showcased
on NBC to discuss Packaging "Wrap Rage" and my columns about
packaging are syndicated around the globe.

and Brian at eTAGZ
As you can see here I'm very busy solving client problems
But enough about me. I'm
sure you are here because you have packaging problems to solve or you simply are
overwhelmed by the world of packaging and don't know where
to begin.
I can help you fix your packaging WOES.
Each week I solve dozens of packaging problems whether
it's how to get started packaging your product or to understand
the latest packaging technology and packaging innovations
this is the place to be.
Most importantly I can help you integrate your product packaging
into your brand, teach you how to make your product packaging
to sell or simply get you on the right track with the right
packaging message for your target audience.
Sounds simple right?
But what about some of the packaging pitfalls: environmental
issues, legislation, counterfeiting and product packaging
security? As one of my readers or clients I will keep
you advised. Each week I write on a timely packaging topic
relevant to you and your business; send special alerts about
hot button issues and provide insights on what's new and
exciting in the world of consumer product packaging and branding.
Best of all I do this for free because I love packaging,
I want your product to succeed and it's critical to
get your product packaging right the first time because you
may not get a second chance.

perception from customers or more importantly will consumers really
care? JoAnn will answer these questions and more, include a variety
of case studies in packaging innovation and rebranding, and give
you smart ideas for rationally including sustainability as part
of operations and brand strategy.

Diva on Board
"I need more publicity for my packaging products
and services."
I hear this from everyone - individuals and inventors,
small businesses, nonprofit foundations - even large businesses.
Whether you're working your own guerilla publicity campaign
or paying out hefty sums of your PR budget, you're not
getting as much media attention as you'd like. As a matter
of fact, even the PR agencies aren't getting as much media
attention as they'd like!
I think I've found a solution for many of you... Diva
on Board
Here's how it works:
This program, aptly titled Diva on Board, is designed
for business owners and executives who wish they had someone
to talk with and to advise them about maximizing the company's
exposure through appropriate media opportunities.
Now you can include the Packaging Diva as an adjunct for
your organization ... and for a very reasonable investment.
The Diva has 30+ years of branding experience and can become
your ongoing resource for information and advice on all
aspects of PR for your business.
It's a retainer program where I watch for opportunities
to promote your company and its services. I will help you
craft the correct spin to get the most mileage from every
opportunity. You can also use me to help you assess other
promotional opportunities such as whether to exhibit at
a trade show and which trade shows will give you the most
return on your investment. It's like having a customized
marketing director just for your business!
The difference between traditional PR that doesn't always
work and Diva on Board is me. The Packaging Diva is a
brand name that is recognized around the world. That's
because my success has been built on researching trends
and innovations that affect the packaging industry and
sharing that knowledge with my clients to help you recognize
how your business can be impacted.
I'm able to offer this unique opportunity to a few select
clients in 2007. Sign up today for 3 months of the Diva
On Board and see the effects that good media coverage will
bring for your business.
The fee is $1,000 per month and is payable at the beginning
of each month. Diva on Board will begin accepting memberships
from everyone on January 1, but we're letting the Diva's
readers sign up now because we want to be sure you get
a space. Enrollment is extremely limited, so sign up quickly
to guarantee your place.
