Xperience 2020 Topics:

The Future of Amazon

Speaker: Brent Lindberg, Fuseneo 

A lot has changed lately when it comes to packaging for Amazon. Vendors are running to and from, hair on fire, trying to figure out testing and certification. Brands are abuzz with questions of “why,” and “what’s next?” Brent Lindberg of Fuseneo shares the perspective and expectations of one of Amazon’s closest packaging design partners. 

Understanding Packaging in an E-Commerce Process 

Speaker: Jared Butts, Hershey’s Company  

This will be a discussion of packaging constraints and areas of differentiation in direct-to-consumer and traditional (e-tail) e-commerce. More specific use cases of Amazon’s ship-in-own-container and Hershey’s cold-ship challenge will also be discussed. 

E-Commerce Dynamics & Their Impact on Corrugated Demand  

Speaker: Ron Sasine, Hudson Windsor, LLC

This session reviews the overall direction of e-commerce, the anticipated growth of its three key distribution models, and the impact of this growth on the corrugated packaging market. Ron's thesis is that increasing consumer adoption of purchasing through mobile apps will dramatically shift the size of individual purchase baskets (items per transaction), alter the cadence of shopping events (more transactions, yet fewer store visits) and drive corrugated consumption via the growth of pantry purchases. 

Understanding Your Customer's Customer - Packaging's Influence at the Doorstep  

Speaker: Andrew Hurley, Professor, Clemson University  

Great packaging designs influence attention and emotion, both on the shelf and on the doorstep. Facial expression data collected during unboxing experiences can be invaluable in helping provide a positive lasting influence. Learn how as Dr. Andrew Hurley shares his experiences and explains how to use that data to reduce negativity, facilitate use, and nudge proper disposal of packaging, all while furthering positive brand equity.

Speakers: Paul Chambers and Paul Jarrett, Bulubox  

With unboxing videos rising in popularity, it is now more important than ever to focus on providing consumers with a first-class experience from the time a box arrives on their doorstep.

Leveraging examples, they will discuss how to maintain a competitive edge and exceed customer expectations.
