How Packaging Completes Your Brand with Julie Rotuno

A customer can fall in love with your store before they've even made it to the register. But what happens when they walk out the door?

The bag they carry, the tissue wrapped around their purchase, and the little details that make an experience feel special all have a part to play. Your brand doesn't stop at checkout, and your packaging can help carry it further.

So how can independent retailers make those details count?

Julie Rotuno, CEO of Mid-Atlantic Packaging, explored that question with Cathy Donovan Wagner on the Richer Retailer podcast. Their conversation digs into the role packaging plays in brand recognition, customer experience, and creating a shopping experience that customers remember long after they've left the store.
