RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Looking into food packaging trends, it shows that people like getting involved in the design with personalized products. With the naming-campaign that Coca Cola rolled out, they achieved extreme heights on social media. Showing us that connections between brand and customers are extremely important and valuable.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part was to figure out a campaign that will contribute to increased sale and get new customers in the long term. I believe if the customer uses the product in pleasurable situations with good company they get a better opinion with both the taste and the experience. By using valentine day, it gives customers sweet associations to what they did that day with the product. Seeing the customer probably will be buying this to celebrating the day of love with a boyfriend, girlfriend, mum, a good friend etc. This might even be a good comforter and a friend if you are lonely this day.
