青少年對於零食包裝設計之圖像偏好研究

Abstract

本研究藉由問卷調查法，以青少年消費族群為主要研究對象，將行銷學中吸引消費者目光、提高銷售量「無聲的推銷員」的包裝設計作為研究方向，探討現今青少年對於零食包裝設計的偏好，以期能夠提高商品之銷售。本研究以問卷調查法、次數分配表及交叉分析法，6位專家從26個網站的219個樣本，篩選出攝影、寫實描繪、簡易象徵及文字等四類共24張刺激物(研究樣本)，形容詞意像篩選由18位視覺意象分析小組，篩選出15組形容詞意象。以紙本問卷方式施測，時間自民國100年3月29起至民國100年4月31止，參與學校包括台北市、新北市、與基隆市某高級中學及高級職業學校共三所；總參與人數共391位，分別為男175人、女216人，平均年齡大約17歲。研究結果發現如下：（1）在內容物提示項目裡，高中男女生對於具象寫實風格的都具有高度偏好，顯示青少年消費者重視內容物的具現遠超過新奇特殊的包裝圖像；（2）以「原料提示」功能設計包裝插圖時，修飾的手法反而更能獲得青少年消費者的青睞。（3）青少年在購買零食產品時，仍偏好於內容物具象表現圖像來判斷內容物與包裝插圖的一致性（4）在以「品牌與聯想」為包裝概念時，由於不具備商品的內容物或原料等相關的圖像，高中生在判讀時多半會以自身背景、經驗或對圖像的好感度決定是否購買此類商品。This research paper studies on effective packaging design that attracts consumers and that are effective in improving the sale.
