Concept Screening
Acentric’s standardized concept screening surveys answer the following key questions:
- Which alternative product / business ideas generate the highest purchase interest?
- Which concepts outperform the existing product / service (if applicable)?
- What segments should I target?
- Identify problems currently experience in the general product category.
- Identify the most appealing features.
Survey participants weighted for good representation
Sample weights are calculated for your survey that correct for any differences between demographic representation in your sample and the known representation in the online population (according to census or other reliable data sources).
'Rough' alternative concepts - the idea not the execution
‘Rough’ concepts are all you need at the concept screening stage, since the aim is the assessment of the idea rather than the execution. This allows for multiple versions to be considered without too much time and resource investment. Test up to 10 alternative concepts at a time.
Each concept is ranked
Each concept is ranked statistically. Each concept is displayed clearly on its own slide in order of rank.
Segment potential
Determine which segments are most interested in purchase, and which segments are less important. Prioritize ad spend and minimize waste.
Identify which concepts rank above the existing product
If you have an existing product on the market, you can identify its rank and which new alternative concepts outperform it.
General category problems
Identify problems experienced with this type of product to glean additional ideas.
