Tracking Time Was Never So Easy
We are into the glooming 21st Century and are slowly moving from paper pads to notepads in every segment in various industries.

Job Interviews: Make Yourself An Application Cheat Sheet
It is so easy to sit down to complete an application and suddenly your mind blanks. You can't remember dates or names or telephone numbers.

Welcome to part II of our 3 part series entitled "The Psychology Of Packaging."

In the first instalment we focused on some of the products and their packaging and why they're packaged in that manner. In this instalment we're going to focus on some other packaging schemes. You'll understand why these people are paid so much money to come up with this stuff after reading.

Let's start off with candy bar wrappers.

Take a good look at these things, and there are plenty of them to choose from. Candy bars range from the pure milk chocolate type such as Hershey's, and Nestles to the candies that are usually filled with something, like Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Mounds, Kit Kat, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and so on. If you take a very good look at the packages they are VERY colorful. Butterfingers are a nice yellow package with blue lettering. Reeses are kind of a reddish orange package with yellow lettering. Nestles Crunch Bars are 3 colors of red, white and blue. Guess there's something patriotic going on there. And then you open up these very pretty wrappers and take out this mono color, not very appealing looking hunk of chocolate. The candy never looks as good as the wrapper. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups actually look like light colored mud you'd find out in the street. But boy, that pretty wrapper. Yes, candy bar manufacturers really earn their money from the packaging department with these gems.

So we don't get too hungry, let's move on to a different kind of packaging.

Copy paper.

I mean, have you EVER seen the package that Georgia Pacific copy paper comes in? The wrapper is brown on top, blue on the side and white covering the remainder except for a photo of a woman working in an office. Oh and underneath in big numbers is the number of sheets in the package, brightness and weight of the paper. I guess they don't want us to miss these important specs. This is some of the most beautiful packaging you'll ever see and then you open up this gorgeous packa

This is some of the most beautiful packaging you'll ever see and then you open up this gorgeous package and inside is nothing but white paper. Since this is something that we buy because we need it and for no other reason, did they really think that if they just put the paper in a plain brown wrapper that we wouldn't buy it? Amazing.

Now Xerox, is a little different. See, they are a very big name in the copy business so their packaging is much plainer, usually one color. What is prominent about the package is the name, XEROX, right up there in big bold letters. It seems that's all anybody needs to see and they're sold. After all, if it's Xerox it has to be the best.
