Recently I had a craving for pot roast. I racked my brain to think of a restaurant that offered a great pot roast (as you can see, I’m not a whiz in the kitchen). Anyway, I did what I usually do when I need to find information – I searched Google for “pot roast boca raton” to see what restaurants came up.

Well, only one restaurant’s menu that featured pot roast came up. I had never eaten there before, so I phoned them to make sure they still had pot roast on the menu (alas, they didn’t).

But here’s the bottom line: I would have become a new customer at this restaurant — because it offered what I wanted — and I learned about it while searching the Web.

This underscores an important point: every business needs a Web site. Very simply, you never know when potential clients will be searching on the Web for something they need – and the name of your business or organization will come up.

Here’s an example. The other night, I got a phone call from a writer in California. She was doing a story on P.R. and my name came up on her Internet search. If it weren’t for my Web site, she never would have found me — and I would have missed the opportunity for publicity.

Here’s another example. One of my clients told me that a potential customer had decided to do business with his company because of the high quality of its Web site.

If you don’t think your business or organization needs a Web site, consider this: quite possibly, this very minute, somebody out there is searching the Web for something he or she needs that you can provide.

So how can you get your product packaging seen by the media in a more favorable light? Make sure that your packaging is connected to one of the more popular news trends. Consider what the media will be covering outside of the obvious “breaking” news. Think about your product and how it can connect with the media coverage. A few examples of topics they will be covering in the future include:

• Anything to do with diets, weight loss or healthy eating. This topic perennially becomes newsworthy as spring break and swim suit season approaches. It also offers opportunities in other niche targeted publications too, such as woman oriented and fitness publications.

• Products that are marketed to or are designed for the 50 + generation. The “Boomers” topic is getting much media play in virtually every type publication. If you are marketing in this space, find out what they will be covering in the next issue.

I will also be speaking about this topic at The Supply Side exposition in New York this spring. The Supply Side brings together manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers from the social stationery, giftware and graphic arts industries. Presented in conjunction with the 60th annual National Stationery Show (NSS), The Supply Side provides a forum for the more than 1,400 National Stationery Show exhibitors to source key vendors at a time and place that’s both practical and convenient.

So if you have a packaged product that is relevant to this category please contact me with more information.

• Look for media spin on anything to do with the environment, recycled materials and bio-based packaging products. The environment is hot right now and with the upcoming “International Earth Day” on March 20.

I was contacted last week by a marketing class that was using my article “13 Packaging Trends” as a case study. Each student was required to write an expanded paper and presentation. One student, Jana, contacted me about trend # 8 “Green and Greener.” I did a quick search for her and found numerous positive in mainstream media articles about the positive aspects of packaging and the environment. So this topic is definitely worth getting excited about.

As a case in point, the Timberland Company just had a big spread in “Industry Week.” It focused on branding the environmental aspects of its new packaging. Read more @

Here is another example of a good use of the environmental niche.
Cereplast CEO Delivers Speech at Commodity Classic 2006, the National Corn Growers Association Annual Conference — Cereplast, Inc., reports today that the company’s CEO, Frederic Scheer, delivered a speech at this year’s Commodity Classic entitled “Displacing Petroleum-Based Plastics with Bioproducts.”

Investigate a pitch less commonplace media too. As I mentioned when I spoke at the Marketing To Women Conference recently, condom marketing has gone main stream in places like Wal-Mart. Consider a headline like this:

Condoms Mix Sex and the City; City Will Debut NYC-Themed Packaging for Prophylactics
Really! The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene will be debuting unique New York-specific condom packaging designs within four to six months. The program, which is still in development, aims to promote sexual health awareness and aid in distribution tracking. “In an effort to track our continuing effort to distribute millions of condoms throughout the city, we wanted to develop condom packaging that was noticeable and memorable so that we can later track the effectiveness of our distribution,” said Sandra Mullin, communications director for the department. “We also aim to use the packaging to promote condom use and awareness.” Now that’s using the media to gain exposure (tee hee).

With packaging becoming a “hot topic” it can help counteract negative publicity about the industry such as the “Oyster Award article” which condemns the vast over packaging of many products. So, keep your eyes and nose (“Does Your Packaging Umm, Smell?”) on the look out for ways and opportunities the make your product packaging newsworthy in the coming weeks.

Don’t forget to keep me in the loop too. The more I know about your product the more I can help you get the word out about your packaging.

JoAnn Hines the Packaging Diva has been on TV, traveled to China, worked with the SBA and spoken at the White House (twice). Why do they seek her out? Because she knows how to package products so that people will buy them. When Faith Popcorn made her business trend predictions for 2006, she called JoAnn to find out what was going on in the world of packaging. Businesses large and small call upon her to solve their packaging problems.

She loves to share her proficiency in packaging.
