Quality labels are useful tools to differentiate food products, but only if consumers recognise them and associate them with specific characteristics. An online survey was conducted to investigate whether Chilean consumers knew about Novillo de Osorno, for which a quality label is being developed. The survey was divided into five blocks: lifestyles, meat consumption and purchase habits, meat choice behaviour, knowledge about Novillo de Osorno, and consumers' socio-demographic information. The place of residence and consumer gender, age, or income were important cues in defining consumers' lifestyles, meat consumption and purchase habits. Respondents could be grouped into three main groups: 1. Younger people: urban with medium-high incomes, which search only for pleasure; 2. Foodies uninvolved and Females uninvolved: females with the highest income level that chose food for nutritional reasons; and 3. Traditional people: men older than 55 with low incomes, living in the Northern areas and interested in taste and in the meat's origin. Nearly 60% of respondents had never heard about Novillo de Osorno. Hence, the supply chain has an opportunity to extend the market. Since price and confidence in the origin are important cues, they must be considered in the design of promotion strategies.
质量标签是区分食品的有用工具,但前提是消费者能够识别它们并将其与特定特征联系起来。开展了一项在线调查,以调查智利消费者是否了解奥索尔诺牛肉,目前正在为其制定质量标签。该调查分为五个板块:生活方式、肉类消费和购买习惯、肉类选择行为、对奥索尔诺牛肉的了解,以及消费者的社会人口信息。居住地以及消费者的性别、年龄或收入是定义消费者生活方式、肉类消费和购买习惯的重要线索。受访者可分为三大类:1. 年轻人:居住在城市,收入中等偏高,只追求享乐;2. 不关注美食的人和不关注美食的女性:收入水平最高的女性,出于营养原因选择食物;3. 传统人群:55岁以上、低收入、居住在北部地区、对口味和肉类产地感兴趣的男性。近60%的受访者从未听说过奥索尔诺牛肉。因此,供应链有机会拓展市场。由于价格和对产地的信任是重要线索,在制定促销策略时必须予以考虑。
