There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe
that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.
They are on the shelves, and each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and
measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者), so that he is buying not only a product
but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look
of the package has a great effect on the "quality" of the product and on how well it sells, because "
Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages
and many packages are products," as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers'
feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging(包装). Studies of eye movements have shown that
colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright color of
tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the
word "green" today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these
shapes are pleasing to both eye and the heart. That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's
are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers
that people buy to satisfy both body and soul. |
