...M3 This is the questionnaire which I had created in order to get feedback on what went well on my website and also any improvements that people might have suggested I do. D2 - Improve the effectiveness of a website on the basis of a client review After I got my feedback from the four people I had asked Karan had said that I should consider increasing the size of the images that I had used so that it could reduce the load time of the website, after I obtained this feedback I had then gone and done this by reducing the size of the images as displayed below: One bit of feedback that I had got from everyone is in relation to the size of the font because everyone said that I should increase the size of it because it was something which should have been bigger as it was difficult for them to read the text, therefore, after I had got this feedback I had gone back and increased the size of my text as displayed below: BEFORE AFTER I was also told by everyone that I should consider changing the colour of my text because it strained their eyes or it was hard for them to read because of the conflicting colours, after gaining this feedback I had then made the decision to go back and change the colour of my font to one which I believe is a lot easier to understand and does not strain the eyes, here is the new colour for the text that I had picked: I have chosen to go for a more turquoise colour for my font because I think that this colour conflicts less in comparison...

...Challenges Faced By IKEA:- Here are some of the challenges I found from the case study- * I kea’s low valued products used excessive space on load units due to packaging design which resulted in poor efficiency in both transportation and warehouse operations that created unnecessary costs. * Involvement of suppliers was a challenge as solving the problem affects the packaging design as it affects the product design too as it got to adapt to the new packaging design where manufacturing processes are affected too. * To discover new ways to reduce unnecessary space in packaging without altering the product design. * Eliminate the problems related to filled air that takes a lot of unnecessary space during transportation and storage by finding out new methods for packaging. * Another challenge would be Increase in density of the packaging would create overload and to balance the load on the trucks is to use lightweight products to fill up the left over space. That is in short to Load balance the products of different volumes to fill transportation units in regard to both weight and volume. * For the above balancing scenario it is important to convince suppliers for a cluster supplier concept by storing one company’s product by another supplier in order to reduce space related problems. Strategic Implementation:- * Implementation of cluster supplier concept for Glimma tea candles where a major supplier of IKEA takes responsibility for storing...

...Packaging and purchase decisions ABSTRACT - The importance of packaging design as a vehicle for communication and branding is growing in competitive markets for packaged food products. This research utilized a focus group methodology to understand consumer behaviour toward such products and how packaging elements can affect buying decisions. Visual package elements play a major role, representing the product for many consumers, especially in low involvement, and when they are rushed. Most focus group participants say they use label information, but they would like it if simplified. The challenge for researchers is to integrate packaging into an effective purchasing decision model, by understanding packaging elements as important marketing communications tools. Propositions for future research are proposed which will help in developing better understanding of consumer response to packaging elements. Introduction: packaging at the point of sale Packaging seems to be one of the most important factors in purchase decisions made at the point of sale (Prendergast and Pitt, 1996), where it becomes an essential part of the selling process (Rettie and Brewer, 2000). Packaged food products are moving into ever larger supermarkets and hypermarkets, and there is a proliferation of products, offering consumers vast choice. The competitive context is ever more intense, both in the retail store and household. With the move to self-service retail formats, packaging increases its key characteristic...

...1. Environment changes that made it possible to consider the launch of an OTC Aids Test There was no doubt that HIV/AIDS was a growing concern. The tests took used conventional testing technology, which took a minimum of two to eight hours to produce results, required highly trained laboratory personnel and special equipment to perform and interpret the tests. In 1987, FDA rejected the proposal of at-home HIV tests, arguing that people who tested positive for HIV would panic and possibly even commit suicide in the absence of adequate counseling, However, as the time passed, HIV positive results were not a death sentence, and had become a much more manageable illness. The risk associated with home tests diminished. In order to respond fast to the growing incidences of infectious diseases, MedMira developed a suite of rapid tests that enabled healthcare providers to deliver accurate diagnosis and effective treatment faster. MedMira’s rapid HIV tests were easy to be used, did not require any precision pipetting or specialized equipment, and the results could be interpreted immediately. With them, the HIV infection rate may decrease, once it was fast, easy, accessible to everyone, and more confidential, so more people prompt to be tested earlier, reducing the instances of transmission. The creation of these specific tests with these precise characteristics aligned with the demystification of the disease, made it possible to consider the launch of an OTC Aids Test. 2. MedMira Aids...

Antimonopoly office in Saint-Petersburg has convicted the Russian butter producer “Traditsiya” LLC to be a transgressor for copying the external packaging design of the Finnish butter and for confusing consumers. Russian department of Valio acted as an offender in the case. From its side, Valio supported its claims by comparison analysis implemented by patent attorney according to which composite and graphic design of both packages are practically identical. However, Finnish butter came to the Russian market serval years earlier while “Baba Valia” appeared in the stores only in September 2014. Federal Antimonopoly Office made on its website a survey, according to which 58% of respondents considered the packages to be similar, while 42% did not find any similarity. “Traditsiya” LLC decided to change the package design of their product and provided the valid evidence to that.

...Infant Feeding in the Context of HIV FACILITATOR’S MANUAL TOSOUTH SOUTH THE SOUTH TO SOUTH PARTNERSHIP FOR COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY HIV CARE AND TREATMENT PROGRAM (S2S) South Africa has the largest HIV burden of any country in the world, with an estimated 5.7 million people living with the virus. Women and children remain at the centre of the pandemic in terms of transmission, vulnerability and potential for impact. To continue to build on the existing successes of South Africa’s antiretroviral (ARV) program, the capacity for HIV disease management must be enhanced. It is essential that HIV disease management transition from an individual case management to a family-centred and chronic-care approach targeting and prioritising pregnant women and children. Enrolling pregnant women and children into HIV care and treatment early and regularly can prevent new HIV infections and reduce morbidity and mortality, effectively sustaining the quality of life of mothers, their children, and their families. The scale up of effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and paediatric ARV care and treatment programs are crucial in the fight against HIV but are challenged by many factors including perceived complexity of treating pregnant women and children, inadequate paediatric and PMTCT knowledge and clinical skills, lack of psychosocial and adherence support, delays in integrating PMTCT services with antenatal and child health management systems, and gaps in referral...

...Parvaderm has been a successful company in the past with their line of Silky Shaving Gel. However, their sales numbers are dropping and are forecasted to drop even further. There have been solutions proposed by the Soft and Silky brand assistant, Heather Courtwright. However, it is up to Phoebe Masters, the newly appointed product manager, to make the call on the new solutions to help get Parvaderm back on track from their past few years of disappointing sales. There are two decisions to be made by Parvaderm Corporation. The first is whether to get rid of their current tube packaging or introduce a 5.5-ounce or a 10-ounce aerosol container to the current product line. The second is to see if it was necessary to add additional funds for a market test. This is all part of the bigger question of introducing a new package design for the Soft and Silky Shaving Gel. The Soft Silky barnd was introduced in 1991, when aerosol packaging wasn’t widely known, however: since 1999 aerosol has become the dominate packaging for women’s shaving cream. Analysis and Evaluation Since Pavaderm's Soft and Silky Shaving Gel sales had not risen but instead have declined over the past few years, there was definitely room for improvement. Courtwright proposed the new package plans and as the newly appointed manager, Phoebe Masters ultimately had the final call on the new packaging and the spending of additional funds. Masters approved Courtwright to spend $35,000 to conduct the marketing research tests...

...CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE NEW PACKAGING OF FMCG PRODUCTS Mitul Deliya Assistant Professor, S. K. College of Business Management, Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University, Patan Email: deliya.mitul@gmail.com ABSTRACT The importance of packaging design as a vehicle for communication and branding is growing in competitive markets for packaged FMCG products. This research utilized a focus group methodology to understand consumer behavior toward such products. The challenge for researchers is to integrate packaging into an effective purchasing decision model, by understanding Consumer’s behavior towards the packaging of FMCG products. When consumers search for and process information in-store, the product's package can contain relevant and useful information for the consumer. Product packaging forms the end of the 'promotion-chain' and is close in time to the actual purchase and may therefore play an important role in predicting consumer outcomes. Packages also deliver brand identification and label information like usage instructions, contents, and list of ingredients or raw materials, warnings for use and directives for care of product. INTRODUCTION “Packaging is the container for a product – encompassing the physical appearance of the container and including the design, color, shape, labeling and materials used” Packaging has a huge role to play in the positioning of products. Package design shapes consumer perceptions and can be the determining factor in point-of-purchase...
