The Challenge

Striking the Perfect Balance for Long-Term Success

Rebranding represents a significant undertaking for any brand, as it requires striking a delicate balance between resonating with existing customers and attracting new ones. It's a substantial decision, not to be made frequently, emphasizing the importance of getting it right the first time.

The Approach

Arch's Strategic Approach to Packaging Testing

Arch took an multi-step approach to support this redesign:

  1. Arch ran focus groups with current customers and “look-alike” potential customers to gather feedback on multiple design territories.

  2. Post-focus groups, the brand adapted the logos based on the feedback, and Arch conducted a large-scale survey to quickly test the packaging direction with a larger sample size.

  3. The brand developed prototype packaging designs integrating the favored logo. After aligning on logo design, the client asked Arch to run a second survey to determine the most attractive messaging hierarchy on front-of-pack.

The Results

Crafting a Winning Packaging Design through Consumer Feedback

Coming out of the focus groups, the brand had clear direction from consumers on which logo was resonating the most with current and potential customers. The survey helped to confirm that this logo had mass appeal. The second survey helped to give the brand confidence in what messaging should be most prominent on packaging. With that, they went to production and refreshed the brand image, launching the new packaging in major retailers such as Walmart, Whole Foods, Jewel Osco, and more!
