First Moment of Truth
Most are familiar with the role that packaging plays at the First Moment of Truth (FMOT) — at the point of sale (retail, online) — and the Second Moment of Truth (SMOT), when a consumer purchases and begins to actually use the product. However, as e-commerce continues to grow, secondary packaging is evolving to support the Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT), when a consumer researches, or is made aware of a product, prior to purchase (Internet, TV, print ads).
A well-designed package that surprises or delights consumers can add distinction, reinforce the positioning of an upscale or luxury brand, and build awareness of the company’s sustainability efforts.
