The 5 P’s of marketing (product, price, promotion, place, and packaging) have already been proven to be beneficial to successfully marketing a product. In this study, we explore the relationship between the uniqueness of product packaging and its level of influence on a person buying that product. Participants were given a questionnaire in which they rated the level of uniqueness of a product without knowing the price and rated their likelihood of purchasing that product. In our findings, we saw that a product that was rated with a higher level of uniqueness encouraged consumers to purchase the product, even if the price was inflated.
