Adding Next-Level Excitement to New Launches
Consumer journeys are a focus for many marketers. They know consumers do not interact with a product once, but follow a path: from the very first in-store (or online) impression, considering a purchase, experiencing its consumption, and even sharing photos on social media after. Especially younger consumers engage in social media with many turning into “foodies,” being true explorers in the world of food making that visible to the outside world. For example, Mintel states in a 2020 trend report that:
There are many opportunities for a product or brand to stand out. Colour is a key factor in each stage of the consumer journey. More often than not, colour has a significant impact on shelf-stand-out, purchase intent, taste expectation, as well as actual taste experience, and overall product liking. Manufacturers leverage this knowledge particularly well in limited editions. European food launches with a seasonal or limited edition claim were 68% more likely to utilize a colouring solution than other launches, Mintel reports. Colour often brings the actual product concept to life: Halloween turns orange, Christmas is red and green, birthday cake sprinkles are colourful. Multiple limited editions can be found across the most diverse food segments catching consumers’ eyes.
