STEP 1

Understanding Their Ideal Customer

Based on our research, 4700BC Gourmet Popcorns ideal customer profile is males in the age range of 30-40’s.
This information allowed us to create the initial user persona. It includes a user’s demographic, paying capacity, awareness about the product, etc.
We call this “Information Set 1.”
STEP 2

Studying The Product

Once we studied the user, it’s time for us to analyse the product within the Industry it operates in. This includes answering the question around it’s price point, the legacy of it’s brand, how competitive the Industry is, etc.
Approx 10 data points are collected for the product which is condensed into “Information Set 2”

“Unique Purchase Drivers”

This is what your customer should see...
Data available in Information Set 1 and 2 was passed through our algorithm to Identify the unique purchase drivers (UPD) for the ideal users when they are looking to buy a skin-care related product. Here is what we found
STEP 2

Finding Unique
Purchase Drivers (UPD)

Through our analysis algorithm, we found out these to be the purchase drivers along with their necessary visibility:
  • Key Benefit (85%) -> UPD
  • Ingredients (30%)
  • Brand Name (70%) -> UPD
  • Price (10%)
  • USP (85%) -> UPD
  • Origin (20%)
  • Product Name (60%)
Purchase drivers with the highest suggested visibility become the UPD.

“Current Purchase Drivers”

This is what you are showing...
The current design and how different information is laid out changes how a user looks at the product. The information with a better hierarchy has more changes of being noticed. The information that has the highest hierarchy is called “Current Purchase Driver” (CPD).
Basically, this is what the brand is showing in their packaging.
STEP 4

Finding Current Purchase Drivers (CPD)

We use eye-tracking technology which is validated by real-life user tests to create a packaging heatmap. This heatmap summarises what the user is most likely to see and what they might ignore.
This is what the heatmap for Neutrogena looked like!

Current Purchase Drivers For 4700BC Gourmet Popcorns

Based on the heatmap analysis, the CPD for 4700BC Gourmet Popcorns were:
  • Key benefits of the product (73%) -> CPD
  • Ingredients (39%)
  • Brand name (72%) -> CPD
  • Price (NA%)
  • USP (39%)
  • Origin (NA%)
  • Product name (73%) -> CPD
This means the current packaging design of Neutrogena is primarily showing these 3 elemenst!

Measuring Purchase Affinity

UPD = CPD
This means what the customer wants to see is what the product is showing!
High Purchase Affinity
UPD CPD
This means what your product is showing what the customer does not want!
Low Purchase Affinity

Under-average
purchase affinity

We observed that 4700BC Gourmet Popcorns’s product demonstrates CPD that is distant from UPD. This means that what would get the user to buy the product is not being shown on the product.
This hints towards a low purchase affinity by this type of user.
