How visual impressions affect purchasing preferences: an analyzis of packaging
Did you know that consumers are 16% more likely to trust a cereal brand when the characters on the packaging look them straight in the eye? Learn how packaging influences consumer behavior.
Product packaging serves not only the function of protecting the product, but is actually a collection of information that convinces the consumer to make a purchase here and now.
It is worth emphasizing that subtle nuances, such as whether the brand hero on the packaging looks straight into the customer’s eyes or not, have an impact on their final decision. However, that’s not all because forming an opinion about a product takes the customer 90 seconds, and in 62-90% of cases, this opinion is influenced by colours. 84.7% of respondents stated that colour accounts for over 50% of the factors important in choosing a product.
