Frequently Asked!

1. When should I use Borderless Access' Idea And Concept Testing Solution and which formats can it assess?

To make innovation a part of your culture, it’s important to take consumer feedback and develop a rich understanding of consumer behavior at every stage of concept development in a cost- and time-effective manner. Borderless Access’ Idea And Concept Testing Solution helps you identify the strongest and the most intuitively appealing ideas at every stage of innovation, compressing risks and timelines, increasing your potential for sales and brand growth. Whether it is product prototypes, marketing messages or service offerings, our solution is adaptable to assess a wide range of formats to meet your specific needs.

Our solution can test any type of idea, whether branded or non-branded, presented as text, pictures, packs/logos or memes. It specifically focuses on ideas along with well-thought-out concepts or product changes like pack design or logo alterations. Each study allows testing of up to five ideas for a quick assessment. However, any number of concepts can be tested. The ranking in each of these studies is based on relative performance and helping clients identify the most promising ideas for further development.

Our solution is built on a strict monadic testing approach, meaning each respondent evaluates only a single concept. This is a crucial distinction from sequential or comparative methods that can introduce significant biases, such as exposure or order bias, which often skew results. By eliminating these common biases, we ensure the data you receive is truly reliable and accurately reflects how your concept will perform in the market, allowing you to innovate with confidence. 

4. Can I select a specific target audience for creative concept testing?

While we recommend broadening the target group, you can conduct a study among any specific audience you prefer. Remember that choosing more specific target groups may impact the cost and duration of each study. Our flexible approach allows you to tailor creative concept testing to precisely align with your unique audience segmentation needs.

Our methodology gives you freedom to start on a clean slate with consumers on a new concept/platform (concept co-creation) to ideate and fine-tune, test concepts and shortlist a resonating message that creates impact.

Our solution can help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of different concepts through intuitive online dashboards. These reports offer actionable intelligence on concept performance and areas for improvement. Integrated heat mapping and word cloud analysis features also specifically reveal what resonated or didn’t resonate with consumers. This information allows targeted allocation of budget and resources for necessary improvements, ensuring a more successful launch for your concepts.

We go beyond conventional metrics by employing advanced tools like Eye Tracking and Facial Decoding. These innovative methods provide a deeper layer of insights by identifying the key areas consumers pay attention to and recording their emotional reactions in real-time. Our solution provides more than just raw data; it provides a clear, prioritized roadmap for marketing concept testing by generating a ranking of concepts, helping you allocate budget and resources to ideas with the highest potential.
