The Challenge

Understanding Consumer Preferences and Brand Perception

Reefton Distilling Co., known for their unique native botanical gins, needed to understand better how people in New Zealand viewed their products and what they thought about gin in general. Even though they were known for high-quality spirits, they wanted to:

  • Measure how popular gin was compared to other spirits.
  • Find out how well people knew the Reefton Distilling Co. brand.
  • Learn which groups of people were most likely to buy their gin.

 

They needed these insights to improve their marketing strategies and ensure their products met their customers’ tastes and needs.

The Solution

Detailed Market Analysis Through a Consumer Survey

To tackle these challenges, Standard Insights set up a detailed online survey that looked at:

  • Buying Behaviors: Why do people buy gin? What influences their choices like taste, price, brand loyalty, or packaging?
  • Brand Perception: How do people see Reefton Distilling Co. compared to other gin brands?
  • Demographic Analysis: Identifying which age groups and areas might buy more Reefton Distilling Co. gin.

The survey targeted over 200 gin drinkers across New Zealand who drink gin at least once every three months and are between 20 and 55 years old. This method made sure we got a wide range of opinions to understand consumer behavior and brand perception better.
