Some other brands that use sound well

Taste

Manifestation of individuality and social norms

Most relevant for food products What tastes good for one person may be disgusting for another

Heavily influenced by culture and heritage Conventions are driven by inherited cultural values, ethnic and

religious aspects, or social class.

Consumers preference for ethnic dishes

Taste is influenced by other senses Other senses influence taste more than taste buds

Blind tests are dangerous

Taste and Touch

Kellogg’s developed the crunchiness for their product

Lack of crunchiness led consumers perceive taste of the product is not good

Temperature plays a major role Cold pizza or warm soft drinks

Some examples Crunchy chips, mushy potatoes,

soft bread etc.

Taste and Smell

Smell has the highest influence on smell

Potato – Apple – Pear Experiment

Taste and Sight

Round shape food are perceived as sweet than angular foods

People may avoid if the food color is not good

Presentation of food in restaurant is important

Dry vs. moist etc.

Taste and Color

Research suggests beverage’s tastes are influenced by its color

Failure of New Coke Blind tests showed consumers preferring new

taste

Coca Cola changed the formula of a century old drink

Strong rejections from the consumers for the new formula

Consumers strongly preferred the old formula and taste

Return of Coca Cola Classic

Consumers treated the brandas a way of life than a beverage

Challenges to Marketers

No defined measure for “Good Taste”

Very much subjective than objective

Very much dependent on culture and other ethnocentric factors

Heavily influenced by other sensory inputs
