Beef Attributes Research Package
Explore the Claims and Attributes That Matter to Today’s Meat Consumers
As brands seek to differentiate and win sales, today’s meat cases and menus are filled with marketing attributes and label claims. But which have the most impact on consumer behavior?
This is the question Midan Marketing sought to answer in our newest, self-funded market research. In April 2022, we asked a nationally representative sample of current U.S. beef purchasers about their beef buying behaviors. The answers form the foundation of our Beef Attributes research — a snapshot of consumers’ beef purchasing and eating habits, including how they prioritize claims and attributes.
Which Claims and Attributes Are Important to Today’s Beef Consumers?
Following price, beef consumers rely on their perceptions of 28 claims or attributes to make their purchasing decisions, including:
- Quality — USDA Prime, Premium, preferred breed, etc.
- Production method — grass-fed, organic, raised without antibiotics, etc.
- Sustainability — climate neutral, low-carbon, etc.
- Sourcing — raised in the U.S./product of the U.S., locally raised, traceable, etc.
