Simply slicing an apple could increase its sales by as much as 71%, according to a study published in 2013

Just imagine it for a second: your business (whatever it may be) is working. Along comes an email claiming that there a simple way to boost your business by 71% with minimal costs. Spam or stroke of genius? Surprisingly, it turns out there is at least one case where the claim is true!

A study published in 2013 the American Journal of Preventive Medicine revealed that the simple expedient of pre-slicing fresh fruit (apples) in school cafeterias increased their sales hugely. Later results and surveys confirmed the results, albeit the magnitude of the effect differs somewhat between the studies.

Isolated case or valuable principle?

Given that it is true in this case, the million dollar question is whether this could true in other instances as well? Is it an exception or is it more like a principle? If the latter, what is the principle and can you apply it to your business as well?

Let’s return briefly to the research cited at the beginning of this post and see what the researchers thought the reasons were for this effect. Based on the interviews they conducted with students two main reasons emerged: some cite smaller jaws, braces or missing teeth as the main problems, while others think it unattractive to be seen biting into a fruit in front of others. Though for different reasons, both categories appreciated much more sliced fruit.

Fundamentally, however, both sets of reasons can be subsumed under one broad category - convenience. Re-stated this way, suddenly the whole thing becomes quite obvious. Don’t be too quick to discard it, though. Businesses that discovered ways of making things consistently more convenient had also, statistically speaking, made a lot of money. So let me tell you this.
