Faux Fish Packaging

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gomes Da Costa Wraps Canned Goods and Depicts It as Fresh Fishy Goodness

— June 6, 2012 — Marketing
Unless you're a house cat who loves to eat tuna from a can, people prefer fresh fish and Gomes da Costa finds a clever way to make packaged fish more appealing.

This advertising campaign ups its sales by using a simple and inexpensive technique: wrapping canned fish with newspaper. This clever stunt is a great way to send out a message that Gomes da Costa's canned fish is just as good as fresh fish.

The video shows a vendor wrapping newspaper around a Gomes da Costa can as fresh fish are wrapped in the old fashion way. He places it on ice and presents it as fresh fish. This stunt had people bewildered for a second and they then proceeded to purchase the goods. There's no need to come up with a new product but instead, embellish it.
Trend Themes
1. Faux-fish Marketing - Brands can take advantage of unconventional marketing techniques to make their products stand out, such as wrapping canned fish in newspaper to make it appear fresh.
2. Packaging Disruption - Packaging can be a major factor in persuading customers to buy a product, so companies should consider disrupting the typical packaging designs to catch consumers' attention.
3. Sustainable Packaging - As consumers become more environmentally conscious, companies can innovate by using eco-friendly packaging materials that reduce waste and appeal to eco-conscious customers.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Brands in the food and beverage industry can use creative packaging and marketing tactics to differentiate their products from competitors and drive sales.
2. Printing and Packaging - Companies that specialize in printing and packaging can offer innovative solutions to create unique and eye-catching packaging designs for their clients.
3. Sustainability - Sustainability-focused companies can partner with brands to develop eco-friendly packaging solutions that appeal to consumers and align with their values.
