FMCG concept test

A large proportion of all new products introduced in the retail landscape disappear from the shelves within 6 to 12 months. New Product Development (NPD) is a time-consuming and costly process, in which virtually all departments within your organization (sales, category management, marketing, logistics, etc.) are closely involved. When product ideas do not sufficiently meet consumer needs, the chances of a successful introduction are slim.

To find out whether your concept has potential and to save unnecessary costs, it is useful to have a concept test carried out. In a competitive market within the category, the concept test provides additional evidence of the potential of a launch to retailers. This gives you insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the idea in advance and increases the chance of a successful launch.

The concept test

Markteffect has developed an online concept test that provides insight into the potential of a (new) concept. All introductions are tested (and potentially compared) within our consumer panel among category buyers across five standardized aspects. Furthermore, it is possible to add one or more customized questions to the study.

Through its semi-automated setup, Markteffect offers its clients a clear and effective instrument to quickly and cost-efficiently gain insight into the potential of their product innovations.

The FMCG concept test is already offered and conducted in more than 65 countries worldwide.

Markteffect Performance Index (MPI)

The concept test comes standard with a validated benchmark: the Markteffect Performance Index (MPI). The MPI has been developed through years of research, cross-referencing six distinct aspects. This index score instantly contextualizes your research results and clarifies whether your achieved score is favorable or not.

Markteffect considers it important to ensure that you can make decisions based on the best and most relevant insights.
