JoAnn Hines the Packaging Diva
has been on TV, traveled to China, worked with the SBA (Small Business Administration), and spoken at the White House (twice). Why do they seek her out? Because she knows how to package products so that people will buy them. When Faith Popcorn made her business trend predictions for 2006, she called JoAnn to find out what was going on in the world of packaging. Businesses large and small call upon her to solve their packaging problems.
She loves to share her proficiency in packaging. JoAnn speaks on the subject around the globe and made the packaging world more understandable when she created several web portals, www.packaginguniversity.com, packagingcoach.com, womeninpackaging.org and packagingdiva.com, to answer packaging questions and resolve packaging problems.
The Diva's expertise is important because packaging is the third largest industry in the US. In fact, 10% of every dollar spent at retail goes directly to packaging materials. Packaging employs over a million people. Most importantly, you cannot have a product without a package and JoAnn will make your "package" work for you.
