Understanding How to Motivate Healthy Choices by Examining the Current Psychology of Consumers

Dr. Aaron Reid of Sentient Decision Science spoke to hundreds of attendees about the subconscious food drivers of consumers at the Global Produce & Floral Show last week in Orlando. Dr. Reid discussed the current challenges  marketing is facing with the amount of money wasted each year as well as why most product launches fail. In this economy it’s important to maximize your marketing spend by making the right choices up stream.

Dr. Reid left the audience thinking about how behavioral science measures can help understand the motivations behind fresh produce and floral choices to improve your messaging. Right now, most consumers are feeling anxiety towards the economy and their motivations towards produce are not always influenced by healthy messaging. Watch the full session below for useful case studies.
