This is what Dr. Ernest Dichter" says in a report on his study" of shopping habits conducted for. the Paraffined Carton Research Council. Package selection allows the customer "to express her own image of herself," Dr, Dichter said. In interviews with consum ers, the study group learned that most consumers have a natural desire to achieve high er status. This desire exerts a powerful influence on packag ing preferences. And this appeal to emotion al and psychological needs is being recognized by package designers in creating contain ers. One consumer, when asked about a perfume purchase, told her interviewers, "The box is so good-looking and the bottle is so swanky, you'd think it cost twenty dollars an ounce." Extensive research, said Dichter, has shown that "status" is but one . of six standards that buyers them selves have set up in judging packages. , The other five: convenience in carrying, adaptability to storage, security that the pro- duct inside is of quality, de pendability of the manufact urer, and aesthetic satisfac tion in the visual appeal of the package. A Gallup survey recently asked people what one section or feature of their daily news paper they found most useful Advertising headed the list.
