Packaging research
On average, consumers choose a product in the supermarket within 90 seconds. The packaging is the first thing a consumer sees when they come into contact with your product. This makes it one of the most important factors determining an initial purchase. By gathering consumer insights about your product's packaging, you can develop a targeted design that will catch the eye on the shelf. After all, you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
Full Product Scan
The Full Product Scan combines technical product analysis with consumer research. This gives you insight into deviations and how consumers perceive them. Within 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll receive the first results along with a clear report highlighting improvement opportunities.
Taste Test
A compelling packaging, clear design and the right message are often just as important as taste. Consumers decide in seconds at the shelf whether a product makes it into the basket or not. With concept testing, you find out which designs, claims or innovations truly resonate and gain valuable arguments to support your product launch and discussions with retailers.
Sensory examination
Your product innovations and reformulations should be convincing not only internally but above all with consumers, since they ultimately determine the success of your products. With usage tests or sensory testing carried out by real consumers, you gain insights into how your product is actually received, which aspects are persuasive, and how new packaging performs in everyday life. Our consumer panel tests provide clear answers to the questions that are crucial for market success – quickly, practically and reliably.
Do you want to create a safe and healthy working and living environment?
Normec Sensory
Every day, we test products, concepts, and packaging, and examine consumer experiences, usage, and purchasing behavior. This gives you a clear understanding of what is important to consumers and increases your product's chances of success on the market. We use a variety of research methods, such as concept, product, and packaging studies.
We always select the right consumer for each study. Whether you want to gain insight into the needs of the average supermarket shopper or examine the qualitative assessment of a specific target group, we have a panel of thousands of test subjects at our disposal. Our test centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany are fully equipped to conduct consumer studies and sensory tests in a controlled environment. Our employees continuously monitor quality standards, from study design to export.
