Why is it important?

It brings insights into how and which visual graphic element influence a purchase decision of daily commodities. Our findings reveal that placement of a private label and a national brand next to each other can increase the visual attention both on the private label as well as on the national brand.

Perspectives

This calls naturally for more research to be carried out. For instance it would be interesting to study more in-depth how variables such as special offers and new packaging designs influence consumers' choice and gaze time.
