The impact of packaging design products on purchasing intentions: Empirical research of consumers' purchases in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Abstract

Packaging design has developed into one of the most powerful tools for influencing consumer purchase preferences in today’s competitive product retailing market. The purpose of this study is to determine whether consumers’ interest in product packaging (i.e. color, image, material, printed information, and typography) correlates with their purchasing intention. The paper surveyed a focus group of 18 to 35-year-olds in Ho Chi Minh City to learn about their interest in product packaging. Before applying regression, a preliminary statistical investigation was conducted that included reliability and normality analyses. According to focus group research, product packaging has a sizable impact on consumer purchase intentions. Finally, the study concluded that businesses can not afford to overlook the impact of product packaging on consumer purchasing behavior and must establish a package design standard in order to conduct more effective marketing campaigns.
