Addressable Minds for Understanding the Perception of Marketing Messages
Addressable Minds™ is a methodology that uses statistics and analytics to determine the human perception of messages used in marketing and advertising. The same marketing message given to the same demographic or behavioral group might be perceived differently, based on their mind set. Use of key determining "scratch tests" enable marketing staff to deliver the right message to fit the individual's mind set at the right time, and thus increase the likelihood to a purchase. The approach enables companies to discover what appeals to the customer.
Addressable Minds is also known as RDE, "Rule Developing Environment." RDE generates databases and scoring that feed directly into the marketing data warehouse to create innovative customer understanding for targeted sales. This presentation describes the RDE methodology, and will change the way you think about selling to your present and future customers. This is an actionable tool to give competitive differentiation and a means to outpace your competition consistently. ... details

Endorsements in Food: What? By Whom? Driving Acceptance in Older Adults.
Marketers use seals of approvals from organizations to enhance product acceptance. The food industry and the various health associations use endorsements to educate the public and to persuade. But which endorsements really work? This presentation reveals the often surprising, and occasionally unsettling results of a large-scale study on just what endorsements work across 29 categories of food -- and most important, what specific endorsements work with older adults and younger adults.
- What's in it for YOU?
- What's working, what's not, and with whom
- Where's the big opportunity, and where are endorsements falling down
- Is everyone the same - no -- and now to the different mindsets
- What else can you do to strengthen the endorsement you have worked so hard to get and keep
- Go for the gold -- specific endorsement strategies that are waiting, and ones to be avoided

Design of consumer preferred texture in healthy foods – challenges and rewards
Texture has long been recognized as a key sensory aspect of food. Although there is a great deal of information about the textural properties of food, there is a lack of an historical perspective on the intersection of the drivers of the science of food texture: instruments, language, consumer, and business needs. This presentation presents that historical integration, beginning with the instruments of texture, and then continuing with the language of texture and the perception of texture as psychophysicists measure it. Moving beyond history and integration, the paper proceeds to two new opportunities. The first opportunity is the 'algebra of the consumer mind', specifically the mental economics of texture. Just how much is a person willing to pay for a pleasing food experience caused by texture -- And are there texture-oriented people willing to pay more?' The second opportunity is using this algebra of the mind as well as psychophysical scaling to 'engineer' a new product with a desired texture? How should developers train their minds and expand their world views to accomplish this development? The presentation is thus both historical and prospective -- dealing with what happened and why, to what will happen and also why.
Sensory science and market research – Twins separated at birth
The presentation covers the development of these two fields in the world of food and beverage. The audience will learn how different types of professionals ended up in the two fields, how those professionals and their specific predilections affected what sensory and market research investigate, what they deliver, to whom they deliver, and why they deliver what they do. Through personal observation of 40+ years, the audience will learn where the successes have been greatest, where the problems have been most vexing, and where tomorrow’s biggest opportunities lie.... details
