Packaging of children’s breakfast cereal: manufacturers versus children

Abstract

Based on primary research from both a child consumer and manufacturer perspective, this article explores the breakfast cereal market and the perceptions of packaging from the perspective of a child. Specific consideration is given to determining the overall role of packaging, what role packaging can play within integrated marketing communications and establishing the feasibility and effectiveness of packaging as a sole communications tool. Findings highlight some apparent inconsistencies between manufacturer and children’s views, and illustrate the possibility of adults underestimating how aware children are as consumers in today’s society.
