Unique and unusual packaging designs are at the center of the most popular November 2014 marketing ideas. Brands are pushing themselves more than ever to spread their message -- and the appeal of their products -- with creative and unexpected packaging designs. Brands -- especially eco-conscious ones -- have released packaging and branding that echo the qualities of their products. Whether they be biodegradable or dual-purposed, today's packaging options are much more imaginative and exciting.
Brands are also continuing to create interactive marketing experiences for consumers. The Tweet-designed dresses from Verizon and designer Christian Siriano as well as the touch-activated denim ads from Hiut Denim Co. are perfect examples of how to get consumers to truly remember your brand.
For more examples of the top November 2014 marketing ideas, check out Trend Hunter's Marketing Trend Report.
