Conclusions Business Issue: Should we adopt or reject the new pack (label)? Research Conclusion:Adopt. There is no evidence to suggest the introduction of the new label would be a disaster. The new label is on par with the current label and in some cases offers some strengths Strengths/Pros • The new label is on par with the current label on key measures of: • Appeal • Likelihood of purchase • Preference • Representing expectations of the brand (with only minimal resistance from current brand users) • Readability • Impression of wine quality conveyed • Imagery and values communicated (but while mostly the same, the new label is seen as slightly morecontemporary) • When compared against Penfolds Koonunga Hill, the new BIN 555 label is the clear winner in preference • Verbatim responses suggest that the new label is more clean, clear and easy to read Weaknesses/Cons • There really are no weaknesses evident from the quantitative information captured. That said, qualitative verbatims point to a possible issue to be aware of, which is that the new label may not stand out, it may lack colour and life and may be boring to some (the same issue applies to the current label but to a lesser extent ). Note that the red of Koonunga Hill really stands out
