The more choices a consumer has to choose from, the more successful a consumer marketing survey will be.

Is the four pack more convenient to carry and purchase than purchasing one cup of yogurt at a time? What would make the packaging more convenient for you to handle with ease? Would you be more inclined to purchase a four pack that has multiple flavors in it or have one flavor in it? The criteria for a six
