Concept and Idea Screens

Concept and Idea Screens

Our tried and true techniques insure your concepts are hitting the mark.  Or if they aren’t, we identify what’s falling short – and importantly – WHY.  We are experts in identifying the impactful positioning and use statistical methods to identify and prioritize the differentiating reasons-to-believe that shape R & D direction.  We have normative databases and the ability to sales forecast volume potential.

Product Testing

Product testing comes in many shapes and forms and we have extensive experience with them all – around the world. We have a long track record of conducting successful in-home use tests or central location studies – often with a qualitative component to probe further on areas that work well as well as those that don’t.

Marketing Bundle Testing

Market Bundle Testing

We recognize that great concepts, products and services don’t live in a vacuum.  Their brand equity, name, packaging and shelf placement are equally important to overall success.  We use methods that are flexible and reliable at an early stage to give our clients the opportunity to adjust course and optimize the overall offering prior to more rigorous (and expensive) in-market testing.
