Based on the focus groups method we are able to study and analyze customer behavior toward our Italian sausage brand ‘Vivio’. Based on qualitative and quantitative research we are able to understand target consumers needs and behaviors, positioning ideas, refine the learning to concepts and scores of these concepts. Qualitative steps gave us depth and help to surface ideas while the quantitative piece will validate those ideas across a broader population. My recommendation is to continue with Vivio - Saxonville’s Italian sausage as brand name and position as ‘Family connection’.
