Curion Prevents Market Failure Of New Dish Soap Formula With qPod® Capability
Knowing that fragrance is a key driver of repurchase, the fastest growing global organic soap brand was looking to increase repeat purchase among consumers by increasing ingredient levels in two of their liquid dish soap scents.

Impact

Fragrance testing among current and potential new formulas using Curion’s qPod® capability for the fastest growing global organic dish soap brand led to a new, improved, and stronger fragrance level product that is driving repeat purchases among product users, doubling the expected rate.

Our Approach

In order to isolate the fragrances of each and test their new formulas against the originals, Curion used our state of the art qPOD® technology. To replicate in use, both products’ scent were released into the innovative aroma chambers and participants recorded their reactions and senses.

Insights

Consumers recorded a strong base odor, and weak level of fragrance within the new formula.

Both products scored slightly higher through qPODs® than neat out of the bottle.

The prototype of Fragrance B tested slightly better than Fragrance A overall.

Results

Their new version of the product with increased fragrance levels has since gone
to market and performed very well next to their original product line, doubling our client’s rate of repeat purchase.
