Pre-test of a printed advert (press or outdoor)
Why and when?
- In order to check the effectiveness of a printed advert in its natural setting:
» its power of making a mark compared to other adverts
» whether comprehension of the advert is in line with the adopted strategy
» whether it evokes the desired changes in behaviour and brand perception
What do you get?
- Assessment of the effectiveness of a printed advert (press / outdoor) in regard to noticeability and reaction evoked (persuasiveness / impact on brand)
- Full diagnosis of strengths and weaknesses of the advert based also on non-verbal reactions (hot-spot analysis)
How?
- Concealed test: respondent unaware that he/she will be assessing an advert (placed in its natural setting depending on the medium, among other adverts)
- Monadic test (each respondent only rates a single advert)
- Experimental model: comparing the results to a control group not coming into contact with the advert making it possible to assess its impact in relation the brand's current situation on the market in question
