Concept Testing and Product Optimization

Concept testing and product optimization is about evaluating product/service ideas in different stages of their development. It is also used to understand how to reposition and optimize existing products/services. The ultimate goal of Concept Testing and Product Optimization is to allow companies to make informed “go” or “not go” decisions and thus save capital, time and effort.

Benefits of Concept Testing and
Product Optimization Research
  • Provide evidence of product/service viability by taking into account competing and substitute alternatives as well as target customers’ acceptance of new products/services
  • Evaluate competitive advantage and likely threats from competing products/services
  • Single out which product ideas have the highest revenue potential
  • Identify what improvements need to be made before product/ service launch or re-launch
  • Reduce cost in product formulation and operation processes
  • Pinpoint the benefits and attributes that are most important to target customers
  • Generate communication messages designed to change perceptions about your products/services among current and prospective customers
Our Approach

We combine qualitative and quantitative methods when testing early product ideas, full-blown concepts of products/
services, or add-on features to existing product/services.

Qualitative methods give directions for fine-tuning initial product concepts, while quantitative methods are used to
assess viability, key benefits, message points, and ultimately identify a winning product/service idea.
