Farrand Research - Los Angeles Market Research Company and Internet Marketing Research

Consumers were approached and screened in shopping malls, and those who qualified as eaters of this particular snack product (and agreed to participate in the study) were given three packages of the new and current product and were asked to use them in a specified order over the next week. A total of 300 evaluations were obtained, and based on our results, Farrand Research was able to recommend that the new package be introduced (since consumers had no problem with it and rated it at parity with the current package). The company switched to the new packaging and subsequently, this product has increased their profit margin.
