Tracking survey on consuming willingness in trying new
things/adventuring
Consumers’ willingness to try new things
Willingness to try ”body care products” is higher than
that of ”facial care products”
Be willing to try new brands or new products
Based on the latest EOL tracking survey in September,
the overall willingness
to try new "body care products" is higher compared to
that of "facial care products." Whether it's products
consumers have heard of but not used or products they
haven't heard of, there is a 3-7% higher purchase intent
for body care products compared to facial care products.

13. Continuing to have over 20% of consumers, as long as they
"have heard of the brand or product," there is a chance for
them to become first-time buyers of body care products.
Based on the EOL long-time monthly tracking survey, as of
September,
Nearly 23% of consumers, in the past month, made their first
purchase of body care products such as body wash, shampoo, and
facial cleansers from brands they had heard of but hadn't used
before.
In other words, one out of every five consumers would select body
care products they hadn't used before from the store shelves.
In contrast, when it comes to facial skincare products like toners,
lotions, and facial masks, consumers appear to be more cautious
in their decisions. It is suggested that brands in this category may
need to invest more effort in increasing brand and product
awareness and favorability.

14. Increasing brand awareness is the preparation of
accumulating the potential customers
Over the past four months, consumers have maintained
their low purchase intention towards completely
unfamiliar brands and products.
Whether it's body care or facial skincare, the willingness
to buy hovers around 10% in the absence of brand
recognition.
Has the brand made its way onto the consumer's
"consideration list"?
From shelf displays of offline stores, and advertising
exposure to online social reviews and SEO management,
these are all touchpoints for skincare and cleansing
products. From a marketing funnel perspective,
enhancing "brand exposure and awareness" is an
essential foundation for accumulating potential future
customers for skincare and cleaning product brands.

15. Women have a higher acceptance of changing a new brand,
while the 40s do better in buying an unfamiliar brand
Women are more inclined to
switch brands than men do.
Whether it's body care or facial skincare
products, female consumers have a
willingness to try that's 10 percentage
points higher than that of males. Different
gender marketing strategies are worth
considering. By consistently reaching out to
female consumers with brand visibility,
there's a chance to enter their options for
switching to new purchases.
The 40s consumers are more
adventurous.
It's recommended the new brand to focus
more on the 40-49 age group. They are
more likely to buy brands they haven't
heard of, since they are relatively
adventurous consumers.

From Sept. 7-9,2023, at Taiwan World Trade Center
Recommend the exclusive research “Mature Silver Generation Database”
The only domestic research on the elderly and silver generation in Taiwan, has
accumulated 9 years of data.
This research covers various aspects including lifestyle, retirement life, health status,
concerns and cognition related to aging, caregiving methods, home care equipment,
health supplements, and more.
For families, gaining a deeper understanding of the concerns and cognition
of the silver generation can lead to more appropriate care for elderly family
members. For example, understanding home care equipment can
significantly improve their quality of life and ensure safety and comfort.
For businesses, accurate analysis of the elderly and silver generation
demographic can drive innovation and address consumer issues and pain
points, meeting real needs. By offering products and services that show a
better understanding of consumers, they can tap into the continuously
growing silver market opportunities.
