Abstract
Report Methodology
The information in Cookies in the U.S. is based on both primary and secondary
research. Primary research involved on-site examination of the retail milieu,
interviews with marketing, public relations and industry analysts within the
food market and consultants to the industry. Secondary research entailed
data-gathering from relevant trade, business, and government sources,
including company literature. Packaged Facts has derived mass merchandiser
sales figures from Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) InfoScan sales-tracking
data. Figures provided on national consumer advertising expenditures are based
primarily on data compiled by TNS Media Intelligence U.S., the leading
provider of strategic advertising and marketing communications intelligence.
The analysis of consumer demographics derives from Simmons Market Research
Bureau survey data for fall 2005 (adult and kids/teens). New product
information is gathered via literature research, personal interviews and data
compiled by ProductScan, a service of Datamonitor.
