Concept test for Haribo F!ZZ

Haribo is a candy brand that was founded in 1920 and has since become one of the most famous candy brands in the world. The brand is known for classics such as Gold Bears, Frogs, and Happy Cherries, but its entire range occupies a large part of the candy shelves in major supermarket chains. The brand always strives to deliver quality and continue to innovate in its range.

Part of that range has for some time now included Haribo F!ZZ, a product line of candy varieties distinguished by their sour flavors, unique textures, and colorful packaging. In order to gain more insight into consumer preferences regarding candy, there is a need for research into the assessment of the product line, which includes seven different product variants. Market research agency Markteffect engaged to obtain these insights among the right target group.

Our approach

Based on the issue, a concept test study was chosen. To this end, research was conducted among both Dutch and Belgian consumers in the 15 to 25 age group, looking for "sweet eaters." Through online quantitative research, important insights were gained into which of the seven Haribo F!ZZ products have the most potential and chance of success.

Results

Based on the results of the concept test, Haribo gained more insight into the assessment of the seven different products in the Haribo F!ZZ product line. By using MaxDiff analysis, it was possible to measure the relative preferences of Dutch and Belgian users among the different candy varieties. Based on the insights from the analysis, it can be concluded that there is sufficient potential in both countries.
