Exploring the Effects of Fruit Brand Names on Consumer Preferences: A Case Study of Apple Consumer Behavior
Despite the recognized impact of brand names on consumer behavior, limited research has specifically explored how brand names affect customers' fruit quality perceptions and preferences. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of apple brand names, as a case study, on consumers' brand recognition and preferences, considering their purchase and consumption behaviors and demographics. Consumer preferences toward four apple brand name categories were specifically investigated: sensory component names (SCN), metaphoric names (MN), non-metaphoric names (NMN), and innovative spelling names (ISN). A total of 526 Canadian residents participated in an online survey, and 517 submitted responses were accepted. Names from the SCN category were liked the most and disliked the least. Names from the MN category were disliked less than those from NMN and ISN categories. Names from the ISN category were disliked the most. Overall, the results highlighted the significance of brand names, with SCN being associated with greater recognition and preference.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Sensory Studies publishes original research and review articles, as well as expository and tutorial papers focusing on observational and experimental studies that lead to development and application of sensory and consumer (including behavior) methods to products such as food and beverage, medical, agricultural, biological, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, or other materials; information such as marketing and consumer information; or improvement of services based on sensory methods. All papers should show some advancement of sensory science in terms of methods. The journal does NOT publish papers that focus primarily on the application of standard sensory techniques to experimental variations in products unless the authors can show a unique application of sensory in an unusual way or in a new product category where sensory methods usually have not been applied.
