Communication pre-test
With a communication pre-test, you measure the impact of a communication expression in advance.
A pre-test will give you answers to questions such as:
- Will our new packaging stand out on store shelves?
- What associations do consumers have with our logo?
- Does our message appeal to the right audience?
The main purpose of a communication or advertising message is usually to get more people to choose your brand, product or service. With a pre-test you can find out to what extent the communications succeed in creating attention, appreciation and understanding and contribute to the intended communication objective. By performing a communication pre-test, you can also find out what optimization opportunities there are.
Pre-testing is a form of concept research and provides insight into how your communication scores with consumers in terms of: comprehensibility, credibility, the extent to which your message stands out and is distinctive from competitors.
When do you conduct a communication pre-test?
You can conduct a pre-test at different points in the development phase:
- At the very beginning of the development phase, when you have an initial idea about your communication expression;
- During development, when one or more concepts are developed;
- At the end of the process, when the communication output is ready and you want to do a final check with your target audience.
