IFYA Reports the Results of the Third National Frozen Yogurt Consumer Survey

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 24, 2019 - PRLog -- Last September, the International Frozen Yogurt Association launched the Third National Frozen Yogurt Consumer Survey. All frozen yogurt consumers in the US over 13 years old were invited to share their thoughts about frozen yogurt by taking the short online survey. There were 214 responses.

The consumer survey was designed to measure the following:

• Loyalty
• Brand attitudes towards major frozen yogurt chains
• Frozen yogurt preferences
• Attribute importance of frozen yogurt shops
• Current & future consumption
• Purchasing habits
• Demographics

Consumer Survey Findings

The results were quite similar to the results of last year's survey. The top 3 key attributes that consumers seek in frozen yogurt shops remained the same. The top 3 non-froyo items consumers would consider getting from a frozen yogurt shop did not change. Three out of four respondents expressed willingness to pay more for quality froyo, similar to 2018.

The survey measured liking for frozen yogurt chains with several questions. The order changed but the top four remained (in no particular order) Menchie's, Pinkberry, TCBY and Yogurtland.

However, there were some interesting changes. Loyalty as measured by going to a shop more than 75% of the time for froyo, declined. More people are going to get froyo without others compared to last year.

"Our annual survey is the only one to measure consumer sentiment, behavior, and attitudes towards frozen yogurt. It's another way that we help frozen yogurt shop owners and other members of the frozen yogurt industry," said Susan Linton, IFYA President.

About the Respondents

The respondents were younger and included more males than last year. Of the 214 respondents, 57% were female, 43% male, with 52.% between the ages of 18-34. In 2018, our respondents were 64% female, 34% male, and 41.2% were between 18-34 years old.
