What do consumers recall about your
ads? Did they understand the main message you were hoping to
communicate? Was there anything confusing or hard to understand? Did the
message have a real impact? These are the types of questions PAR answers
in advertising copy tests.
Brand Equity
So you're considering a line
extension - Great! But should it carry the same key product name as your
flagship brand? What will that brand name link do to help (or hurt) your
brand and corporate image? Will it help you with the distributor? Will customers
be confused, or will it guide their buying decision? Understanding the
impact your brand name carries to your consumers allows you make these
decisions wisely.
Graphics Evaluation
PAR can help your firm
select the best graphics for product labels, packages, or corporate
logos. Interviews with your various audiences (suppliers, clients, etc.)
can tell you what people understand about your business or product when
they see the graphics your firm has chosen to use.
Claims Substantiation Research
PAR
documents consumer perceptions of product attributes or product
preference. We use very precise, controlled, up-to-date protocols as we
design the research, leaving your firm in a strong position to defend
product claims.
Promotion Evaluation
How effective is this
promotion? Should this display be static or should it have motion? Which
of these POS options will have the most impact on product sales? Clients
often ask PAR these questions about promotional efforts. We can test the
promotion with your customers and with the store management that
ultimately will handle point of sale materials to help you select the
best possible promotional materials.
