A new method is presented to determine the importance of packaging elements and their combinations, using online memory games and measuring accuracy and reaction-times. It controls for memory and reflects the competitive situation where packs are seen. Importantly it omits verbalisations of behaviour, which has been long distrusted as a reliable method. Pilot results across three product categories find that the largest effect on accuracy comes from colour, then picture/​graphic, then typeface. This method can help marketers reviewing current and new packaging designs, and guide decisions about appropriate promotional design.

Abstract

A new method is presented to determine the importance of packaging elements and their combinations, using online memory games and measuring accuracy and reaction-times. It controls for memory and reflects the competitive situation where packs are seen. Importantly it omits verbalisations of behaviour, which has been long distrusted as a reliable method. Pilot results across three product categories find that the largest effect on accuracy comes from colour, then picture/​graphic, then typeface. This method can help marketers reviewing current and new packaging designs, and guide decisions about appropriate promotional design.
