Packaging : how to improve the customer experience?

Consumers and pet food brands have been focused on ingredients and targeted diets because today’s consumer demands personalised treatment. A requirement that may be a sign of far-reaching changes in buying behaviours. Ekaterina Paltsyna, Logistics & Distribution Manager, explain to us what outsourcing challenges in pet food packaging and co-packing her company faced.

Thinking ” out of the box ” has become the rule. Today, the consumer is looking for meaning and pragmatism. The challenge is to offer him a useful and successful experience. It’s up to us to be smart and innovative to get rid of the superfluous. Our aim is to really create a connection with an impulsive and demanding consumer. Practical, personalised, secure, tamper-proof… we are looking for solutions to meet these requirements, improve the customer experience and optimise our logistics activities. Our brand image and our reputation depend on it. For example, with our logistics partner, we develop customised kibble packs for a unique little dog. From the name of the pet to any specific advice and veterinary recommendations, we offer a unique packaging. Ultra-personalisation is an essential part of our premium positioning. It is a key success factor and an undeniable differentiation in our market.
