Psychology of Packaging In this final edition of our packaging series we’re going to look at some more marketing strategies of packaging where what you see on the outside is not necessarily what you get on the inside.在这最后版本的包装系列我们要看看一些更多的市场营销战略的包装在你看到外面的不一定是什么你在里面。

When you think about it, some of the most interesting packages are those that are actually part of the product itself.当你想想,一些最有趣的包是那些实际上是部分产品本身。

Take deodorants.采取除臭剂。

There is one in particular that is so fancy looking you have to wonder if what’s inside is not only going to keep you from stinking like a pig but also cure your baldness and pop a genie out of a bottle.有一个特别是这样的幻想期待你不得不去想,如果有什么内部不仅要保持你的臭猪一样,而且治愈你的秃头和弹出一妖怪了一个瓶子。 I’m referring to Caix Extreme.我指的凯极限。 The cap is kind of a dome shape that looks like something out of “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, the lettering on the bottle itself is hard to describe but appears to be a combination of cartoon and south sea island font, and the colors are blue and pink on a brown bottle.瓶盖是一种圆顶形状像一些与众不同的“日地球停转”的字样的瓶子本身就是很难描述,但似乎是一个结合卡通和南部海岛字体和颜色有蓝色和粉红色的棕色瓶。 Actually it looks more like something you’d pour in a glass.其实它看起来更象您想要的东西倒入一杯。

Then there is the Caix For Girls.然后是凯女孩。 This is a pretty light blue color to the bottle with lettering that looks like something out of a Barbie Doll commercial.这是一个相当淡蓝色的颜色与字体瓶看起来像东西的芭比娃娃商业。 Plus there are some little flowers pasted on the bottle for good measure.另外还有一些小的花贴在瓶子上的良好措施。 This is definitely not something you would ever find a guy using.这肯定是你不会找到任何一个人使用。 At least you wouldn’t think so.至少你不会这么认为。

Of course you’ve also got your fancy deodorants like Tommy Hilfiger.当然,您也有您喜欢空气清新剂像汤米希尔菲格。 Plain black bottle with plan white lettering that runs from top to bottom instead of from left to right and tilted to the right.纯黑色瓶白色字样计划运行自上而下而不是从左向右倾斜和权利。 They probably think this kind of packaging lends an air of mystery to their product.他们大概认为这种包装使得空气中的一个谜他们的产品。 Most likely what’s inside isn’t much different from your local Shop Rite store brand.什么最有可能里面没有太大的不同,您的本地店礼商店品牌。

Then you’ve got your really exotic deodorants like Heno di Pravia.然后你你真的喜欢异国除臭剂Heno娣Pravia 。 The yellow bottle has a shape not too different from a voluptuous female’s.黄色的瓶子有一个形状不太不同于性感的女性。 It’s got a nice fancy lettering to it and a logo at the bottom that almost looks like a danger sign for radioactive waste.这是有花式字样好它的一个标志底部,几乎看起来像一种危险的迹象放射性废料。 Thi s is one strange deodorant package.阮氏s是一个奇怪的除臭包。

And then you’ve got the deodorants that go to the absolute opposite end of the spectrum and as far away from commercial looking as possible.然后你有除臭剂是去年底绝对相反的频谱和远离商业期待的。 A perfect example of this is “The Self Health Resource Center” deodorant.一个很好的例子,这是“自我健康资源中心”除臭剂。 The bottle is in the shape of a medicine prescription bottle and actually looks like a prescription drug with it’s straight laced lettering and formal instructions for use.该瓶的形状处方药品瓶,实际上看起来像处方药与它的股价连续字样和正式使用说明。 This stuff better not only get you smelling good but cure your allergies besides.这个东西更好地不仅让你闻不错,但您的过敏治疗外。 The funny thing about this deodorant is that there’s really no name to it.有趣的这个除臭剂的是,也没有给它的名字。 It just says Deodorant on the top of the label.这只是说,除臭的顶部的标签。 The Health Resource Center is just who manufactures the deodorant.卫生资源中心是到底谁制造除臭剂。 You’d at least think they’d give the thing a name.你至少认为他们想要的东西给一个名称。

Yes, deodorants have some very strange, exotic and downright puzzling packages that you never get to stop looking at because it’s part of the product itself.是啊,除臭剂有一些非常奇怪的,充满异国情调和彻头彻尾令人费解的软件包,你永远不会停止寻找,因为它的部分产品本身。 This has to further reinforce what you’re looking for the next time you run out to get your next supply.这是进一步加强您要找的下一次当您用完让您的未来供应。 Packaging is an amazing psychological science and as long as we are able to understand what goes on inside the human brain there will always be packages to cater to that brain.包装是一个了不起的科学和心理,只要我们能够明白接着在人类的大脑总是会有的软件包,以满足大脑。

Now if only they’d make packages we could see through.现在,只要他们想要使包我们可以看到通过。

Oh wait!噢等待! They already do.他们已经这样做。
