Our Methodology.

Pack Words Testing

The Pack Words Test isolates and tests front-of-pack messaging with thousands of category consumers to identify which words drive purchase decisions and which create barriers. By stripping away graphics and testing copy in isolation, we determine the optimal messaging hierarchy, placement, and emphasis that converts browsers into buyers in the critical 3-second decision window.

Focused Message Testing

We isolate front-of-pack words from visual elements to reveal how consumers actually process and prioritize written information, eliminating assumptions about what messaging works.

Consumer Communication Mapping

We map the consumer decision journey to present information in the sequence consumers need it, ensuring your most critical purchase drivers receive proper emphasis and placement.

Strategic Messaging Hierarchy

These insights inform font weighting, pack placement, and visual emphasis on messages that drive choice over competitors, creating a cohesive communication strategy across all panels.

Creating highly effective front of pack messaging.

By isolating front-of-pack words and analyzing their impact, we gain insights into how consumers read and react to your packaging. This deep understanding allows us to refine your messaging, ensuring it is not only clear and concise but also emotionally compelling.

The PREformance™ Pack Words Test helps determine the appropriate balance of copy, avoiding crowded designs and focusing on the key messages that will drive purchase intent. Additionally, we provide recommendations for reinforcing these messages across all packaging panels, ensuring a cohesive and effective communication strategy.
