Description

This is a successful activation at the pos to promote and prove that people use to have prejudices when associate price & quality. Lower price, lower quality. Higher price higher quality.

Execution

It was produced according to IKEA’s marketing plan, with the focus on mattresses.

IKEA mattresses are rated among the top five on the market, yet consumers hardly even consider them in their purchase process, for different reasons: low price (we generally foster a prejudice that if something is cheap it is of poor quality), low quality, products that don’t last… So, IKEA conducted an experiment to try to beat these prejudices people have about IKEA mattresses. What would happen if we increased the price of a product? Would people consider it then? IKEA presents AN EXTRA ZERO.

Results:

• Trials of the new mattress increased by 360%
