Summary

QUESTIONNAIRES WERE COMPLETED BY 1,750 GROCERY STORE SHOPPERS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF PRODUCT COLOUR AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ON PURCHASE INTENT FOR VACUUM PACKAGED (VP) GROUND BEEF. CONSUMERS (74%) INDICATED THAT COLOUR WAS IMPORTANT IN THEIR PRODUCT PURCHASE INTENT DECISION. HALF OF THE CONSUMER WHO RECEIVED PRODUCT INFORMATION WERE MORE LIKELY TO INDICATE A POSITIVE PURCHASE INTENT AND WERE AS LIKELY TO PURCHASE THE PURPLE-RED VP PRODUCT AS THE BRIGHT CHERRY RED PRODUCT THEY ARE ACCUSTOMED TO PURCHASING. IT APPEARS POSSIBLE TO EFFECTIVELY EDUCATE THE CONSUMER TO ACCEPT THE PURPLE-RED COLOUR.
