N=250
33. 33
Reasons for low satisfaction level of
GOO.N diapers
Quality
Despite the fact that
they seems to be
qualitative, they leaked
a lot when I used them
I didn't use this brand,
but I think the quality is
good enough
I think they leak and are
not soft
The baby feels
uncomfortable
Too thick and rough in
comparison with
Merries
Uncomfortable to put
on, slip, leak
Price
Became more expensive
than Merries
I'd like more promo, ex.
A pack of wet wipes as a
gift
Isn't reasonable for
mass market
The quality corresponds
with the price
Average price for
Japanese diapers
Brand image
I didn't use them and
didn't pay attention to
the pack design
I hear about GOO.N
rarely
It is not designed to the
end
Much of Japanese text
on the package hurts
my eyes
Little advertising
Not interesting image
Promotion
The sample in magazine
Sample in the exhibition
Promo in child's store
Buy tapes - panties free
Available in
stores
There were no needed
size or type
It was temporarily
absent on the shelves
Very poor assortment in
Auchan
Do not exist in stores or
they are lying or
imperceptibly
Assortment
A standard set of sizes
All the sizes are not
available in stores
Assortment isn't wide
It seems that they are
all the same, based on
the appearance of the
packaging
Met only tapes
There are no huge
economy pack
