Why inamo for CPG

First Impressions Decide the Sale

Shoppers make shelf decisions in seconds. They scan, react and move on. The wrong packaging hierarchy, a vague claim, or a confusing format can lose a sale before the product is even considered. CPG consumer research is the difference between a launch that lands and one that quietly underperforms in-market.

Where CPG packaging and concepts lose at the shelf:

  • UX research in all industries Packaging that does not communicate the key benefit at a glance
  • UX research in all industries Product claims that sound credible internally but confuse or alienate real shoppers
  • UX research in all industries Format or size cues that do not match category conventions
  • UX research in all industries Visual hierarchy that buries the brand or the key differentiator on pack
  • UX research in all industries Messaging that works in a brief but falls flat with real shoppers
