Stretch your brand awareness with ElastiTag

In today's ultra-competitive retail industry, it is not enough for brand owners to simply promote their products. A clever multi-dimensional marketing strategy incorporating a solid on-pack campaign that integrates with new media platforms is essential for brand survival. As a key ingredient in the marketing mix, brand owners need to look at the on-pack devices they are using to promote their goods. Price is important, but value for money is fundamental to the consumer's positive perception of the brand. In tough economic times, value-added on-pack drivers such as competitions or coupons are important, but equally vital are devices that act as brand enhancement tools by improving the general perception of the brand.
