In simple terms, the way to think about packaging is that it can either shred your value proposition (and sales) or it can leapfrog your product over tall buildings in a single bound. Ok.. well.... not quite that last part but you get the idea. It's super important. Given that your business' financial value (to you and investors) is directly related to sales, improving packaging can make a very big difference. 2018-10-0743 min
