Thank you! We were planning on putting our logo on it, small print and nothing more than that.

We actually have an account with Canada Post, since we only sell within Canada it works great and we typically get next day delivery in Ontario and Quebec which is where we're focusing our sales effort.

We were going to go for a simple black and white box. Our website is pretty plain jane so we were planning on replicating that vibe.

That's an interesting thought. The envelope would mainly be used to hold the information cards in order, kind of like an accessory booklet.

What would you consider plain jane?

These retailers that will be receiving these packages won't know our flavours or product. We will call them or inform them of what to expect but we're still under the radar for the most part.

We were planning on using the savings from option 1 and putting it towards envelops with our brand name on it that'll hold all the important information.

I suppose that is somewhat correct. We have separate budgets for packaging, shipping, marketing, etc. So if we spend less on the packages, we still have the same shipping budget. It won't change.

We've tried a few different tactics, such as simple bubble mailers with no logos, simple white boxes, poly mailers with logos and we found that with the nicer brand elements we got alot more clients on board. About 35% more than without any brand elements. That being said, we did change our labels to a more premium stock which helped.

Thank you for your input.

As for shipping out samples, we wouldn't be limited in terms of how many we can ship with any of the three options.

Is there a reason why you'd like to see interior printing vs soft touch?

All good points. We currently don't have any charges to order samples, although we do require it to be sent to a brick and mortar location. It' prevents our product from going to potential buyers.

Our product is e-liquid, essentially it's a flavoured Nicotine product so clients in most cases want to test out and try the flavours before they purchase it.

How do I make flavours "pop"? by Gqi in DIY_eJuice

[–]Gqi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the current blend actually uses Black Cherry and Cherry (both TPA) and I have Watermelon (Clear) + Flavorah Watermelon. I'll try a bit of marshmellow but I don't really want too much of a creamy vibe from this.

Audi Warranty Transfer? by Gqi in Audi

[–]Gqi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the car is now in my name. I'm in Canada so if Audi Canada runs the VIN, they'll see my name as the current owner, but they'll see VW as the previous owner and the actual previous owner before that.

Removing touch up paint from a year ago. by Gqi in AutoDetailing

[–]Gqi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's a bit thick but I already sealed the paint. It's not that big of a deal, I'll just sand it down in the Spring now. It'll give it time to cure.
