Abstract

The aim of our research is to find out how pastries should be visually merchandised in retail environments most effectively. In particular, we want to answer the question whether the colour of the surface (black vs. white) against which pastries are presented influences consumers’ expectations (sensory and hedonic), i.e., before tasting (stage 1) and perceptions (sensory and hedonic), i.e., after tasting (stage 2). In addition, we seek to detect any differences in sensory and hedonic evaluations as well as purchase intentions between stage 1 and stage 2.
