Customer Experience Concept Testing
Identify the winning experience and de-risk your investment.
Concept testing is used to evaluate consumer response to a product or service idea prior to its design and launch into the marketplace. This type of research, whether qualitative or quantitative, utilizes our deep research expertise in customer research to facilitate a discussion and ideation with target users while presenting them concept sketches, mock-ups or computer models for evaluation. We look for information such as overall appeal, message resonation, feature combinations and likelihood of purchase. This vital information can impact the final design and de-risk your investment.
GAUGE APPEAL
We’ll help you discover what elements in a concept appeal, and which ones don’t. This enables you to reiterate the concept with the best feature combinations or with the highest share of market potential based on real customer feedback.
CHOOSE WISELY
Concept testing helps to prioritize features, ideate new ideas, rate multiple new concept directions, or identify possible tradeoffs between features and price or estimate demand. We can help you choose wisely.
where to start
After consultation with you to understand your target audiences and objectives, we develop a test plan and protocol that formalize the concept testing process. We recruit customers, arrange test facilities and coordinate testing.
TIMING
The typical duration of Concept Testing is 3-5 weeks.
how we do it
There are several approaches to concept testing that can be utilized depending on testing objectives, such as structured one-on-one sessions, group ideation, storyboarding and story telling sessions.
We gauge emotional response with customers, that can record both quantitative and/or qualitative metrics and behavioural observations.
