Concept testing is a great way to engage with customers and maximize time and money on a new product idea effectively. Here are 4 tips to help the concept testing process smoother:
- Include an intro screen/card
Having an intro can help testers know where to start and know what they are looking for. It can be a graphic explaining the goal and the problem the product is trying to solve.
2. Make it easy to start over
For digital experiences make a home, back, or re-start button easy to find. For printed or manufactured products provide sample sizes so you don’t have a huge inventory. Create a survey, review, or checklist a tester can send back.
3. K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple Silly. Break the project up into small simple tasks and delegate to multiple people. For example, if you are testing a website check on-page at a time, then make corrections. After that move on to the next page and do the same process. Look at the whole website internally before the launch.
4. Work with a digital marketing firm
Sometimes there are too many avenues to explore. A digital marketing firm can explore all of them for you or help your company find the most effective testing area for your product. Experts at a firm also can organize the data so it is easy to understand. This will be useful when making corrections or figuring out when to launch.
