Of the five motivators we tested (Health Benefit, Health Hazards, Environmental Impact, Price, and Taste), the most important motivators were determined to be Health Benefit, Price, and Taste. In order to be marketable to mothers, GM yogurt must be safe and beneficial to health and free from health hazards. In addition, it should have a lower price and better taste so as to be competitive.

   var CREATE = "In today's world, people are bombarded with advertisements everywhere. After consulting with industry marketing professionals, one success tactic that they always employ is creating a compelling story to market the product. The product needs to have its own distinct style in terms of advertisement artwork and product mascot. Not only that, there needs to be a compelling story illustrating why the consumer should buy the product. A compelling story can be developed either internally by our iGEM team members or externally though marketing companies. An external source that is well known for helping organizations create compelling stories for marketing is Epipheo Studios.  In addition, the story must be relatable to mothers; feedback from industry professionals suggest that stories with health messages are highly poignant with mothers.
