What does Salad Bowl Branding mean to you?
Today’s opportunities reside in creating brands that are tailored to the intricate tastes of cultural segments, not mass audiences. What’s needed is both an ethnic branding strategy and a set of best practices to focus food and beverage products on the most dramatic demographic shifts in U.S. history, which equate to the most striking revenue opportunity the industry has ever witnessed.
How can this affect your brand’s packaging?
Packaging design is often a brand’s primary sales tool. The time to hire a professional brand development agency to help design a targetted message to attract new customers is NOW (not later).
But creating great packaging goes beyond good graphic design. Today’s market shifts are unprecedented and are giving rise to the nation’s new “tastemakers” who influence the purchasing decisions of their own cultural segments as well as the mainstream. Branding agencies must now understand the key purchasing behaviors of these new “tastemakers” and have the skill to craft that focus into a label or packaging design.
What is the BIG action point?
In a marketplace brimming with varied tastes from various niches — instead of mass audiences — food and beverage marketers should focus on developing new brand categories, creating new brand offerings and launching new variations on existing products. Customers and competitors aren’t waiting. The choice is yours to leap ahead (or be left behind).
- Uncover new audiences
- Develop relationships with new “tastemakers”
- Capture market share from niche segments
- Serve today’s mainstream ethnic consumer
- Cut through the clutter on the shelf
- Lower risk to market
- Increase profits
