Concept Testing

Creating a Concept Test

§ Choosing a Type of Concept Test

There are multiple types of concept tests available, depending on the kind of stimuli you want feedback on:

ë Choosing a Target Audience

1. Select your target audience by choosing Country, Gender, Age, and Income criteria.
2. Click More Targeting Options to browse and choose from hundreds of other targeting options.
3. (Optional) Add a screening question to narrow down your target audience, and disqualify people who aren't the best fit for your survey. This is useful if you didn't find all the targeting options you wanted.
4. Choose how many responses you want to receive for each stimulus you're testing. Each respondent will only see 1 stimulus, then answer the questions about it. For example, if you're testing two different package concepts, and select 200 responses, you'll receive 400 responses total.

í Adding Stimuli

A stimulus is an image, video, or message concept shown to someone in a survey. The stimulus format you can upload depends on what type of concept test you choose. You can add up to 10 stimuli to a concept test.

After uploading your stimuli, you can use the textbox below to add a nickname. Nicknames aren't be visible to your respondents, but they can help keep you organized later in your analysis–especially if you're testing multiple stimuli that look similar.

î Customizing Your Survey

Depending on what type of concept test you choose, there are different ways to customize your survey.

Customization options include:

• Instructions: Include instructions before your survey to help provide context about what your survey-takers are about to see.
• Attributes: Choose which important attributes you'd like to measure, like "overall appeal," "uniqueness," or "persuasiveness".
• Comparison question: Ask respondents to compare all stimuli and choose which one they like the best.
• Custom questions: Add custom questions before or after your survey-takers see your stimuli.
• Benchmarks: Find out how your concepts perform against other brands by comparing your results to data from the industries you select.

ï Previewing Your Survey

Once your project is set up, you can use preview mode to make sure it looks good. Toggle between Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views to see how your survey will look on various devices.

You can also use the Style dropdown at the top of the page to change the color scheme of your survey.

ñ Checkout & Payment

Before you checkout, we'll ask you to review your order details. You'll see a breakdown of the total cost, and can go back to adjust your targeting and customization options as needed to fit your price range.

Projects can be purchased with a debit or credit card, or with Audience Credits.

ó Project Overview & Status

Once you complete your payment, go to the Overview section of your survey to see an overview of your concept test's details, estimated delivery date of your results, and the current status of your entire project.

Analyzing Your Results

Once your survey responses are complete, you can view insights and responses in the Analysis section of your survey.

The Analysis section has three tabs:

• Comparison: An overview of the results of your concept test. This includes the overall Top 2 and Bottom 2 Box score across all stimuli, statistically significant results, charts, and scorecards for each question.
• Stimulus Details: See how each stimuli scored across the different attributes and custom questions.
• Individual Responses: See how individual respondents answered each question, including the date and time they responded, and how long they spent on your survey. You can also delete responses here.

Benchmarks

If you included benchmarks in your project, you can compare your results to other brands in the industries you select. Access your benchmarks in the 9 Benchmarks section of the left sidebar.

Filtering Your Results

In the ø Filters section of the left sidebar, you can break down your results even further by choosing the criteria you want to focus on. You can only apply 1 filter at a time.
