The missed reminder
Your buyers already opened the package. Do they know when you go live again?
Most sellers spend time planning streams, sourcing inventory, and shipping orders. But once the package lands, the buyer may forget the next show. A package insert turns each shipped order into a simple, physical reminder.
Promote your weekly stream schedule
Remind buyers about upcoming drops and events
Give buyers a QR code to bookmark your next show

Show cadence, next event, and recurring schedule
Preferred card size, shipment volume, and batch timing

The next design decision is based on real package use.
