I think customer service should be our number ONE priority! I love sending out packages and having the customer respond with wonderful comments. It just makes what we do that much more enjoyable. I thought other home-based retailers might enjoy a glance at how I package my collars.
I use paw print tissue paper that is available from Nashville Wraps and include in each package a collar care instruction sheet,a request for photo sheet, and the ever so important reminder about feedback sheet:
I also include a business card (or two), handmade magnet with my shop info, a thank you card, and any other little Freebie I have available:
I wrap it all up and seal it with a handmade logo sticker and paw print ribbon:
At this point, I print out a packing slip and stamp "Thank You" on it and do the same with the Paypal shipping label:
I tape the shipping label on the front of a shipping envelope (I love the poly mailers from UPAKNSHIP), insert the packing slip and merchandise, and add another logo sticker on the back of the package:
Here are just a few of the comments regarding my packaging:
Great packaging - just like X-mas ! Will buy again and again !
Fast shipping and great packaging, with extra little goodies included. Thanks!

Thanks for reading and I hope I have inspired you to take time to send out fun packages!

Ok so this doesn't really apply to this blog, but I definetly got to looking closely at your classy collarettes, especially the blue one and I noticed #1 how cute it is that you put your label on the collar like a real shirt collar and #2 how it is sitting on your mathematical books!!
I love the puppy paw prints paper. Very cute!
Thanks for the tips... I do include my biz card and wrap my items with tissue paper and simple ribbon when I send them out. I just love your stickers it gives it a beautiful touch!
What a great post, Suzanne! I definitely got some ideas that I haven't been using! Thank you!
Thanks so much for posting this, Suzanne, it's so helpful to see how other sellers package their items. I'm going to borrow your idea of a feedback request card, seeing as how several of my last buyers haven't left any feedback! Also, do you mind sharing where you get your stickers, or do you print them yourself? Thanks!
Excellent article, especially for us newbies to the biz. I love receiving packages from you because they are so adorable and you never know what kind of goody will be inside. Trudy
Very nice - and I am thinking more about how to package scarves so appreciate it - I use stuff from Nashville wraps for my smaller items - next is some different paper - I use smaller pieces of yarn cant knit with for bows.
I try to wrap all packages nicely, time permitting - but yours are just gorgeous!!!! Do you ever make a profit lol!!!!!!
I love how you package! Awesome blog post! Thank you for sharing.
