There’s no doubt about it, we as consumers are, well, consumed with the idea of Packaging. Economy Package, Family Package, Value Package, Couples Package, Super Sized Package, it doesn’t matter what is being sold, if you label it with “package,” then we’ll take two. But why? Why are we fascinated with the Almighty Package?
For one, consumers have been conditioned over the past few decades to mentally link the word with value. We read the word package, and our minds automatically equate it with savings. We know if a company has taken the time to put together a package, there surely must be an economic incentive behind it. We implicitly trust that a package of any nature is going to be cheaper and of more value than purchasing individual components.
The second consumer attraction to the concept of packaging is convenience. All you have to do is switch on the news, pick up the paper, or look at your own daily planner to realise that by and large we are a time poor nation, so of course the idea of selling convenience in the form of package immediately appeals to us. By dangling a “package” in front of us, we eagerly recognise that it’s fewer decisions that we have to make, and we see easier choices. We don’t have to worry about organising anything beyond the initial purchase, which again, is music to our overworked ears.
The success of the package is evident in its saturated presence across virtually every consumer market. There are Internet packages, retail packages, food packages, telecoms packages, and leisure packages. And perhaps nowhere else has the term been embraced more than the travel industry. For no other reason than planning travel in the past has been perceived as a financially and emotionally draining, frustrating task. By offering consumers travel packages, the travel industry is leaning on years of learned conditioning and selling us value and convenience for all our travel needs. Whether you are searching for Family Holiday Packages, Quick Getaway Packages, Group Travel Packages, Couples Packages, or Romantic Holiday Packages, you can easily find pretty much exactly what you want in your travel, with all the worry and work eliminated. Simply go online and choose what package best suits your travel needs, and instantly save on combined bookings of flights, hotels, destination activities, car hire and insurance.
When you think about it, it really does make sense. Why go through the hassle of bookings flights, accommodation and transportation separately, and paying more for individual components, when you can simply choose a travel package that saves you more with the more you combine.
