How do we get these insights?
We invite body lotion users to take an online survey

The core of the survey is an exercise
where respondents choose the pack
they find the most appealing

What do consumers see?
$7.99 (8 oz) $8.99 (8 oz) $7.49 (8 oz)
Given what you know about the market, would you actually buy the body lotion you chose above?
Every concept is built as a combination of features

This exercise is repeated during the survey, each time with different packaging options
In addition, we dig deeper through diagnostic and real-time tailored open ends

What do you like about it? What is it that you dislike about it and would like to see improved?
Your preferred bottle for “Aveeno Organic” body lotion is:
16
1. 89% Biodegradable
More believable than 99% or 100% 59%
89% biodegradable is already very high 32%
Sounds less commercial than the others 27%
“99% sounds too much like
advertising: 89% sounds
more honest to me”
“I would already be happy with
89% biodegradable. I don’t
know any other body lotions
which achieve that level!”
N = 315
You prefer this logo over others, what do you like about it?
Open-end feedback allows us to get a thorough understanding of drivers of preference

“I don’t believe that 99% or
100% biodegradable is
possible to achieve in such
products”
