What is unboxing and why is it important in the beauty industry?
Raise your hand if you have never experienced that subtle excitement of just before opening a package. Unboxing is just that, the experience of “unpacking” becomes the focus of a video dedicated to the product and its presentation at the first contact after purchase.
The step of discovery is at the centre, but the product narrative can start as early as the moment of ordering and launch short flashes on the delivery time of the package. These are also aspects that help branding, especially when these steps constitute added value. The effect is to raise the expectation in the potential customer.
The benefits of a memorable unboxing experience
Isn’t it true that anticipation increases desire? Oscar Wilde suggests the recipe for unboxing that is good for the brand. Cosmetics work when there is the ability to make a difference to everyone else, sharing the unboxing allows you to describe the differences to your competitors.
Brand value comes through the choice of packaging and the description cannot but emphasise this. The target group pays great attention to packaging, after all, this is what distinguishes its line from all others. A good unboxing anticipates the experience and the feelings that the packaging conveys.
Key elements to create a unique unboxing experience
The quality of the video is the starting point, the approach can only be professional so as to ensure optimal playback perhaps on YouTube and other platforms. Lighting, definition, background music and the study of framing are aspects to be taken care of with painstaking attention. Quality production is an investment that pays off.
Packaging design is strategic. The quality of the packaging is the prerequisite, then there is the “smart” choice in the type of solution. An example is bubble wrap that is able to evoke tactile gratification in bursting air bubbles. The added element is in the ability of the person describing, the right words can convince.
Strategies for promoting unboxing on social media
To focus on unboxing is to adapt your brand marketing to a trade that has now moved predominantly online. A well-designed video can make a difference in terms of both conversion and brand loyalty. What is the trick to achieving this? Obviously, creating expectation.
Unboxing that works manages to stimulate discussion, simple one-way communication may not reach the same way as participatory content. If the aim is to go viral, unboxing multiplies its effectiveness when it invites the potential customer to share their personal unboxing experience. Examples that convince start with the audience.

Examples of successful unboxing in the cosmetics industry
The cute Clio of cosmetics has set the standard in unboxing and field-testing cosmetics, and it is no coincidence that the beauty giants immediately sniffed her potential. Looking at her example can provide some inspiration: simplicity comes when it is brand-consistent but above all sincere.
The constants of a successful unboxing are in the design of packaging that works. Personalisation is important, this works even better if the package contains value-added elements. The use of tissue paper or a natural filler increases the sense of discovery. Then adding a free sample is a way of cross-selling.
Mistakes to avoid when creating the unboxing experience
What is the point of unboxing? Answering this question helps to avoid naivety in the making of the film. One of the most common mistakes lies in premises that are too long and equally boring. The target audience wants to satisfy the curiosity of the first contact with the product, nothing else.
Unboxing must be aligned with the brand’s vocation, a green line works if it is also consistent with its choice in unboxing materials. The customer expects natural and perhaps recyclable packaging. In short, the brand must resist the lure of polystyrene but also HD printing. Loyalty avoids mistakes.

Unboxing succeeds when the packaging is designed to work at its best, the appeal of the influencer makes a good impression if the brand has focused on quality design.
