Milk Blog: How Faulty Consumer Research Leads to Misleading Marketing and Reduces Milk Consumption
Milk is Milk blog addresses consumer research and marketing influences impacting attitudes about milk and corresponding purchasing behavior.
(PRWEB) October 20, 2005 -- Alex Avery has posted his second entry in a two-part Milk is Milk blog which addresses consumer research and marketing influences impacting attitudes about milk and corresponding purchasing behavior. Part one of Avery’s analysis and commentary challenged the validity of certain types of consumer research regarding dairy-related issues. In part two, Avery reviews how that research is translated into misleading marketing claims and how these claims ultimately reduce milk consumption.
Avery writes, “[It’s about creating a market for higher priced products by scaring consumers about conventional, non-organic milk. Farmers being led to believe that they should abandon tools like productivity supplements, antibiotics or traditional crop protection methods beware. It's a slippery slope to marketing your product out of demand while shrinking the total dairy market.”
