Overview Overview

Leveraging consumer insights for a guaranteed market lift.

Consumer perceptions, sentiments, and preferences shift frequently. And if your package design doesn’t shift with them, your brand will almost certainly lose market share. Remember, just because your CPG pack grabbed a consumer’s attention yesterday, it doesn’t mean it will deliver results today. 

But as a CPG or FMCG brand leader, how can you know for sure it’s time to make a change? To what extent should you leverage consumer insights to inform your product’s repositioning strategy? And how can you be confident you’re launching something consumers will actually want to buy? 

We’ll answer those questions (and more) in this guide to CPG product repositioning. Inside, you’ll learn:

  • The undeniable signs it’s time to reposition your product
  • Why consumer insights are the key to product success
  • How to leverage quantitative and qualitative data when making repositioning decisions
  • How specialized CPG design expertise delivered results for one emerging brand
Know when CPG product repositioning is critical for growth.
