This strategy will not even appear to be a sales promotion, it can be that subtle. Although, associating your product with some other tempting toy is a way to help boost your image too. It does have a universal appeal, although you can carefully target the gift box for your particular demographic. Say, you are targeting business professionals for a series of courses that you wrote on marketing. What would appeal to them to have the most? You could offer your courses in nice briefcases or even pieces of splashy luggage. Of course, you are selling the course work, but they will notice the gift box it comes in and it will influence their decision to buy.
If your demographic is teenagers, maybe you'd rather wrap your offering in some electronic gizmo that appeals to their interests, like an Ipod they can show off to their friends. You do want to market your wares so you make a profit on the sale, including the cost of obtaining the gift box that it is wrapped in.
This marketing strategy is particularly effective if you are selling infoproducts. Infoproducts are virtual products that can be downloaded into electronics or online. If you've ever seen how little some of the infoproducts cost, you probably wonder how they make a significant profit. It costs them nothing to create copies of infoproducts and it costs nothing to deliver them. However, that also decreases the amount of profit they can get because people won't see them as being that valuable. Now, take the same infoproduct and market it by downloading it to an Ipod or a fancy USB flash drive, and the perceived worth shoots up, and so does the price you can charge for the same product.
It can take a little creativity to figure out what your gift box might end up being. You want something that will appeal to your demographics and also be associated with added value. If possible, you want this gift box to be so nice that the buyer turns around and brags to their friend's how they got it “for free” when they bought your offer. This is a way to generate referrals from a clever marketing strategy.
There's no limit to how splashy or big your gift box can be. If you want to offer your infoproducts on a laptop, for instance, that can be done too. You will have to find a demographic of people who want the free laptop and will buy your infoproducts because of that. And, you will have to find a wholesaler willing to sell you laptops at a discount too.
