How to Leverage It

01

  • What’s driving the need for this research?

  • What are 2-3 questions you need answers to?

  • How are you measuring success?

Create Stimulus

The stimulus should effectively bring the product experience to life and allow consumers to connect with the idea in a meaningful way.

  • Be sure to keep consistency if showing multiple pieces of stimulus

  • Ensure message and visuals are easy to understand

03

Determine Audience

Determine who the ideal target will be to give feedback on your creative. For instance:

  • General population sample

  • User groups, i.e. monthly product users, brand aware, etc

  • Groups from your proprietary consumer segmentation

  • What could further improve the creative, and why?
