Two Big Moments of Truth Mike Tyson said it best. Everyone has a plan until they get hit . The same goes for packaging. You liked the design. So did the team. It looked sharp on the board and even better on a white background. Then it hit the shelf. Next to a wall of yellow. Buried below eye level. Outshouted by a louder pack in a crowded category.

When there are so many choices and options in choosing a brand in-store, it’s good for researchers to get a little help to understand what gets seen. AI fills in the blanks In grocery, shoppers are bombarded with visual information every time they enter a store or shop online. Cognitive overload is a well-documented phenomenon where the brain’s ability to process information is overwhelmed by excessive stimuli. The notion that a shopper can accurately recall all the details o

Decisions Decisions Buying the usual is easy. It’s autopilot. But buying something new? That’s work. You’re in the chilled drinks aisle, staring at a lineup of probiotic potions. You’ve heard they’re good for gut health maybe from a friend, a podcast, or some influencer who looks suspiciously well-lit. But which one? You don’t know the brands. One screams ‘science,’ another looks like a children’s yoghurt. Some promise immunity, others talk about ‘live cultures’ as if they’re

Reducing Friction in Online Shopping Shopping online should be easy. You find what you want, click a few buttons, and it’s on its way to your home. So why does it go wrong so often? For many shoppers, the journey from browsing to buying is riddled with obstacles. Confusing menus, missing product details and clunky checkout processes frequently derail purchases.
