History

•   Created in 1973, Naturalia is now the leading brand of organic
    and natural products in the Paris region with 39 stores offering
    more than 5000 different products.
•   Whether to support fair trade or manufacturers of cosmetics or
    cleaning products that have made the difficult choice to develop
    effective products with natural ingredients, Naturalia has
    played an important role as a distributor for 30 years.
•   Naturalia offers daily fresh fruits and vegetables along with
    their freshly baked bio bread.
•   They have also recently kept up with the gowing trend of e-
    commerce, and are selling their products online.
Logo


•   Earth
•   Figure representing us connecting to
    earth and skies.
•   Naturalia comes from the word
    nature/natural
•   The typography gives a sense of
    naturalness
•   The logo of the earth means that we
    have to protect the world we live in.

Brief

• We have been asked to design the label of Naturalias
  own brand of soups

• In order to understand what appeals the most to
  consumers, three labels will be designed and market
  research will be conducted
Research Plan
>>>Research Plan

                     Test Subjects

• We will be testing approximatively 15 subjects:

   a) Male/Female Parsons Students
      • Age: between 18 – 26

   b) Male/Female Parsons Faculty
      • Age: between 30 – 60

   c) Nationality: International

   a) Testing Dates: 1st - 6th December
>>>Research Plan

                    Test Subjects


• In our test subjects, we will be looking for the
  following traits:
   Supporters of natural/biological food
   Soup-lovers
   Healthy eating habits
>>>Research Plan


     What Aspects Will Be Tested

• The design of the label
    Will the label catch the consumers eye?
    The color & the form used
    The relevance between the product and the label

• The taste of the soup should not be taken into consideration
>>>Research Plan

      How Will This Be Measured

• In a public Parsons area we will display the 3 different designs

• The behaviour of the test subjects will be analyzed through 3
  different steps:
   1. The pick-up test
   2. The purchase test
   3. The buy test
Packaging
• A Glass bottle
• 50 cl
• Soupe aux Légumes

Soup Price Result
• According to the results, the numbers show
  that the consumers are willing to pay between
  3 euros and 10 euros for the soup. The
  average being:
              Soup A: 4,78 euros
              Soup B: 2,41 euros
              Soup C: 4,15 euros
Student’s T Test Analysis
Analysis
•   Based on our research, the Naturalia team has not come to a clear
    conclusion. According to the results, the numbers show that the consumers
    are:
      more attracted by design A and also more likely to buy this soup.
      Design C was very close to these results and therefore we don t have a clear
       winner.
      Design B, on the other hand, proved to be the least successful in both the pick
       up and the purchase tests. Due to these results, we will not keep this design for
       our next test.

•   It came as no surprise that the majority of the people taking part in this
    consumer behavior research clearly stated that the reason for which they
    were more likely to pick design A was due to its bright and attractive color.
•   Design C, on the other hand, was often picked due to its natural and home-
    made feeling. Therefore we will try to keep this spirit.
Recommendations and Modifications
•   For this reason, we have decided to keep the basic label A and C design, discarting
    design B, making only minor modifications which have been brought to light by the
    test subjects.

•   For the label modifications of design A we have the following recommendations:

     1.   More legible font color
     2.   Better printing and paper quality
     3.   Possible color modification – however, brightness must be kept
     4.   Possible shape modification – the shape of label B was successful

•   For the label modifications of design C we have the following recommendations:

     1.   Keep this natural feeling, yet bring the vegetables more to light
     2.   Possible shape modification – the shape of label B was successful
     3.   Better printing and paper quality
     4.   Make the colors brighter

• According to the results, the numbers show
  that the consumers are willing to pay between

  average being:
              Soup A: 4,01 euros
              Soup B: 3,95 euros
              Soup C : 4,21 euros
Analysis
• The Naturalia team has come to a final conclusion. According to the
  results, the numbers show that the consumers are:
    More attracted by Label C and also more likely to buy this soup.
      Consumers liked its natural design and color, and the fact that
      they could directly identify which vegetables the soup was made
      of.
    Label B on the other hand has very close results with Label A
      and was the least successful in the pick-up test
    Label A proved to be the least successful in the purchase test.
      Due to these results, we will not keep these two last designs.
    We have decided to keep Label C, but the shape of Label B was
      very successful therefore to our final label we will apply the
      shape of the Label B to the Label C.
