Concept Testing

INCREASE YOUR CHANCES

Business context & TGM Solution

In the context of market research, a concept refers to several things; it can be an idea, a product, a service, a business model, etc. To keep up with innovation and find new streams of revenue, research and development for a new product concept are fundamental for any company.
Concept testing or testing concept is not only about the product itself that does not exist yet at this stage The goal is to validate the potential of an idea by exposing it to the target audience and evaluate the chances of success once in the market.

Concept testing is a complex process and requires business consultancy to efficiently and carefully consider all aspects of a customer's concept evaluation, as well as technical, logistical, legal and financial constraints of the company.
Different types of concepts require tailored market research methods. Sometimes you need to research a single concept and sometimes multiple concepts at once. Each research on a new product and its business assumptions requires the appropriate selection of the research sample, designing the concept testing research flow and the use of particular testing methods.

To understand if your testing concept can actually answer a need, you may start your concept testing journey with explorative qualitative research; get a sense of what your potential consumers want by conducting online qualitative interviews, online focus groups or run an online community where you can submit and discuss the main areas of your new product concept and gather the first feedback.


Your concept testing will usually be conducted using a panel of consumers, such as TGM Panel, where you can have access to an audience that represents your potential customers and expose them to one, or several, of your test concept boards. The accuracy and the actionability of your findings will depend on how representative your sample of respondents is.

By paying attention to how representative your sample is, you will be able to test and measure the validity of your concept through several indicators such as usage and attitude, interest, purchase intentions, acceptance, pricing sensitivity and many more. Having access to potential consumers in more than 120 countries at any time could also be a powerful thing, and TGM Research grants you just that.
Finally, after later development, you can pursue your series of concept testing with a further product or service testing, ad testing and market testing to verify the other components of your marketing mix. The more consistent your concept test is with the rest of the brand's activities, the better.

To ensure the success of such a project, we at TGM Research can offer comprehensive project management and consultancy. From designing the concept testing research (along with workshops with the client, if necessary), through conducting the study (or its subsequent sprints if changes are implemented agile), to reporting, presenting the results and working through them together with the customer's organization.

With TGM Research, you will unlock new opportunities for innovation and R&D with our solutions of concept testing to gain agility and preserve your budget.
