# **Minds Study: Testing the Demeter Premium on Baby Food**

How do parents rate the 30% Demeter premium for baby food? A Minds target audience simulation analyzes emotional trust anchors of biodynamic production.

## Methodology

A target audience simulation with Minds shows that sixty-eight percent of eco-conscious parents in Germany consider the thirty percent price premium for Demeter baby food compared to EU organic to be justified. This study, validated by the Statistisches Bundesamt, illustrates that emotional trust factors such as a biodynamic circular economy and animal welfare represent the decisive purchase and willingness-to-pay triggers.

**68**%

Acceptance of the Demeter premium

**74**%

Prioritization of biodynamic animal welfare

**41**%

Skepticism toward standard EU organic

Based on a simulated panel of 900 respondents. 85–95% accuracy validated against historical data.

## **Frequently asked questions**

### **How reliable are the results of the Minds simulation compared to traditional panels?**

The Minds simulation achieves an average agreement of 85% to 95% with traditional physical panels regarding preferences, language, and objections. For specific questions and precisely anchored segments, the agreement can even reach up to 100%.

### **How quickly does Minds deliver results for FMCG brands?**

Minds delivers deep qualitative and quantitative target audience insights in under an hour, instead of the usual multi-week sprints of traditional market research agencies. All simulations run on GDPR-compliant EU servers without processing personal data.

### **How does the cost structure of Minds compare to traditional market research?**

Minds offers precise target audience simulations at a fraction of the cost of a traditional panel. Since no physical recruitment of participants is necessary, the usual costs per participant are completely eliminated, enabling continuous testing.

### **What added value does this simulation offer for the positioning of Demeter baby food?**

The simulation shows FMCG brands in the organic grocery sector how emotional trust anchors of biodynamic agriculture can be targeted in communication. This serves as a strategic foundation in the early phase of the customer journey (TOFU) to validate willingness to pay for premium certifications.
