People use two types of thinking to navigate their busy lives…
• Autonomic • Subconscious • Lightning fast • Leverages emotion • Generates strong
feelings of certainty
• Rational • Conscious • Requires effort • Works slowly • Examines • Calculates & weighs
evidence
SYSTEM 1 ‘Thinking fast’
SYSTEM 2 ‘Thinking Slow’

In-store purchase decisions are overwhelmingly behavioural (“thinking fast”), rather than rational (“thinking slow”)
Decisions are greatly influenced by competitive context
Purchase decisions are driven primarily by what consumers see, recognise, and how products make them feel

Packaging must perform well in Real Life shopping…
…and it doesn’t have much time to be effective

The shopper’s default is to follow a “Grab and Go” mentality…

Packaging needs to disrupt shopper behaviour
The fundamental first moment of truth….Unseen is Unsold
Most new products get lost on shelf!
![Page 7: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The shopping experience becomes largely about “De-selection”
More “System 1” than “System 2”
![Page 8: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The instant recognition of colours, shapes, textures is at the root of shoppability and the success of packs…as they become visual assets
Shoppers use visual cues to navigate complex aisles, recognise brands and “de-select”

Packaging designs need to work viscerally
“Less is more” in terms of on-pack messaging, as shoppers typically engage with only 3-4 elements whilst in front of the shelf

What does this mean for
Healthy packaging?

Consumer understanding of “healthy” products is wide reaching…

…and shoppers are bombarded with signage and endorsements, which are easily lost

Visual Cues & Messages for “Real Food”
Food packaging has a significant impact on shoppers’ perceptions of product quality and brand trust
Trust in food companies in demonstrating health is increasingly linked to authenticity and perception of “real food”
![Page 17: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
What does “Real Food” look like?
Earth Tones, Matte Finishes & “Nature” Visuals
Transparency (Seeing/Highlighting the Product)
Simplicity of Design
Non-Traditional Pack Structures/Delivery Systems
Highlighting Ingredients, Place of Origin or Process
![Page 18: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Colour, Imagery & Tactile Feel “Earth tones” and nature visuals are implicitly associated with “real” products
However, with the proliferation of ‘real’ food categories there is also risk of overuse, and thus, scepticism
![Page 19: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Transparency Transparency is a powerful visual cue, as showing the product suggests honesty and openness and promotes trust (i.e. nothing to hide)
But ensure that the product “delight” is not hindered by the execution of transparency…otherwise perceptions of appetite and quality can suffer
![Page 20: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Simplicity of design Simplicity of pack presentation implies simplicity of product (i.e. few ingredients), which links closely to “real”
However, care should be taken to ensure the right colour balance, as very simple packs can also be perceived as dull, basic and generic
![Page 21: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Alternative Pack Structures A unique pack structure or delivery system can be powerful in distancing a product from negative category associations
For example, “processed” cereal typically comes in a box, “processed” soup comes in a can, “processed” icing mix comes in a jar
![Page 22: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Highlighting Ingredients & Source of Origin Ingredients have long been a vehicle to convey “real” – and more recently, there has been a trend to citing provenance/place of origin as a signal of authenticity
![Page 23: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Can well-established brands be credible in delivering natural and “real” products?
Branding is a challenging issue, as placing the “mother brand” on natural products can drive a positive halo – but also potentially invite scepticism
For this reason, many companies have chosen to avoid placing any direct reference on the packaging of their “natural foods” brands
Alternatively, the masterbrand is used simply as an ‘endorser’ to a dominant sub-range name that acts as the consumer entry point
![Page 24: Implicit Shoppingd3hip0cp28w2tg.cloudfront.net/uploads/2016-12/packaging...Implicit Shopping Understanding shopper behaviour to help predict Health food choice William Reeve Senior](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070809/5f07ae487e708231d41e33a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Don’t rely on the back panel - be innovative in ensuring intrusive health/nutritional information lives on packaging
How can on-pack claims best support a natural and “real” positioning?
Rational health claims can engage the shopper
Placement and/ or prominence on pack can establish
claim priority
Don’t rely on the back panel - be innovative in ensuring
important health/nutritional information lives on packaging
More clutter = less engagement with nutritional messaging
