This qualitative phase will provide an understanding of how consumers shop using online marketplaces - what information do they look for / notice, and how aware are they of the origins of the product\. The second phase of the research will develop some of the themes from the first phase into a set of questions to test prevalence on a wider, quantitative scale\. In addition to the short survey, there will be an experimental element, with the development and testing of different messages to measure any reported impact these messages have with potential consumers\.
