Abstract

Unboxing videos allow consumers a vicarious experience of a product, with more emotional connection than a review. Unboxing is conceptualised as a practice made up of three elements: the object, the doing, and the meaning. Unboxing is distinct from opening a box, imbued with meaning for the viewer and consumer giving it potential as a marketing tool in attracting consumers’ attention.
