Hi,

I have a custom packaging tape company that is capable of printing images and illustration graphics. I've been selling on Amazon and eBay for personal uses, but wanted seek advice from e-commerce professionals at this forum.

<Questions>
1. Would you agree that better imagery on packaging tape would increase brand awareness and customer loyalty?
2. What is the best way to reach the decision makers for packaging supplies in top 500 e-commerce companies?
3. If the tape was given for free, with advertisements by Fortune 100 companies, would you use it? (Example : Ad-supported tape by Lexus)



<Key Value Proposition>
1. Full Color CMYK Digital Printing for any graphics and images
2. Long repeat image (20 inches - enough to cover most boxes)
3. Strong adhesive (holds strong at -40F : Freezer grade)
4. Premium thickness (2.5mil)
5. Short lead Time (delivered to destination within 5-7 business days)
6. Various lengths (45yards, 110 yards, 1,000 yards) and widths (0.5 to ~4 inch and above)
7. No setup cost, no plate fees, no coverage surcharges
8. Can print with any background color (not restricted to 8 standard background color)

Appreciate all your comments and advice.

    Interesting product. I have seen custom tape before but not with full color printing.

    I wish your site had prices listed. Personally I hate having to disclose all my information just to get pricing.I know you have reasons for this but its annoying to me - especially when I get 100 calls/emails from the marketing department for the next year.

    To reach decision makers at top 500 sites there are lots of ways to reach them.

    * Advertise on Internet Retailer (print and online)
    * Send some free samples (with the company's logo etc.) to the CEOs, COOs at the top 100 eCommerce sites.
    * Exhibit at eCommerce trade shows.

    kjamesnv - Thank you for your comments and recommendations. Our team had a long debate whether we should fully open the prices, or only give out to people who request for them. Still, it is an on going discussion, but for the time being we decided to keep the prices closed. I just launched a WSO at $4.49 /roll for Warrior Forum members, which will go on for several weeks. Thanks again for your insights.

    Unfortunately I have nothing useful to add regarding your question however I figured if I seconded the comment a previous poster made it might be something worth looking into. When I saw your post I was going to visit your site and look into getting some custom tape for me however knowing now that there's no prices to give me a general idea, I won't even bother visiting and would end up at like uline or something.
