Is Costco Food Good Quality or Just Cheap? | Sorted Food

What to study

Curiosity Gap

Costco's low prices aren't in question, and the green tick next to PRICE admits it. QUALITY gets a red question mark. If you buy the giant wedge of cheese or huge bags of pasta, you want to know if it's good or just big.

How the packaging works
Title

'Or Just Cheap?' voices the suspicion bulk shoppers already have, and 'Sorted Food' at the end tells regulars whose verdict they're getting.

Thumbnail

The checklist mostly restates the title, but the oversized pasta, oil, cheese and beef joint show Costco's bulk sizes, and the presenter's shrug asks the question for you.

Remix this

When your audience already knows one strength of a product, tick it off in the thumbnail and put a question mark on the one they doubt. Show the actual products big enough to recognise.
