Packaging : Your Product’s First Impression

For September 28th:
Packaging has many important roles as a part of your product. It displays, it protects and it informs. With only 4 to 5 seconds to grab a consumer’s attention—your package has a tough job to do. The competition is fierce. Thousands of products are introduced each year. What can you do to stand out from the crowd? Create a package that does its job better than everyone else. Use graphics that wow, innovative and interesting materials and copy that sells.

Lion's Share Entertainment is a creative company that uses "moving pictures" to sell.
In some instances we use moving pictures to sell products. In others we use moving pictures to sell ideas. In some instances we create what looks like pure entertainment, for the purpose of selling advertising, merchandise, and character based products. These moving picture images can be delivered in various formats- including television, film, interactive, Internet, CD-ROM, and DVDs. Thus, we create and produce programs, films, documentaries, videos, commercials, infomercials, DVDs, music videos, and interactive media that deliver a message, that entertain, that teach, that train and that tell a story. These messages and stories ultimately sell products by delivering audiences to advertisers, either directly or indirectly.
