Focus Group
Great Opinions™ of Merrick, NY, conducted our focus group, and here is what the participants had to say:
~ "Yummy” factor was the first thing that came
through. ~ Wholesome emotional connection citing “old world recipe” as appealing language.
~ “Without all the additives” was an important motivator.
~ Versatile: can be eaten as a snack, main meal or side dish.
~ Simplicity of the product and ingredients transcended, it’s easy, “on the go” trait, as a quick and self contained item.
~ Hearty: made of real ingredients you can pick out.
~ While the product is not organic, they found it to have organic properties.
~ Tired of same old lunches, this would be a different and healthy alternative.
