Design packaging that strikes a chord with your consumer
Eye tracking allows you to see how your product is viewed from the perspective of the consumer. Test and compare packaging design alternatives or assess how yours performs against your competitors’.
Revealing the insights that drive shelf impact
Eye tracking uncovers the instant shifts in visual attention that determine which packages stand out, connect with shoppers, and influence purchase decisions.
- 75%
of shoppers make purchase decisions within seconds, often based on packaging alone.
- 68%
of packaging designs fail to communicate
key product information effectively. - 60%
of packaging tests rely on surveys or focus
groups, which may not reflect real behavior.
Test alternatives and validate decisions
Eye tracking lets you assess if key attributes are effectively communicated and measure other things like findability, brand recognition, shelf positioning, and visual appeal. This can be done in isolation, against your own alternatives, or in direct comparison with your competitors’ designs. No matter what phase of the design process you are in, eye tracking provides unbiased answers on what elements of your packaging work, and which need improvement so you can quickly and easily optimize your design.
