This is done with finished advertising, and its goal is to determine which of several alternatives should be run and how those alternatives should be run or scheduled. This is representative of the type of general, recurring problem that should be studied by such a research system. Stella Artois ignored the findings, and the ad helped Stella turn from a niche product into a top-five grocery brand in the UK. Other messages created a generally positive response but nothing that seemed to be indicative of a behavioral one. As a result, both Brand Health and the Top-of-Mind improved significantly, reducing the awareness gap with the category leader which went from 9pp to 1.5pp. The second stage of the research system is one in which behavioral science and past experience is tapped to develop alternative strategies, in the case of Figure 1, this meant the develoPment of alternate message strategies. The conclusion of these three studies was that we had a technique that worked quite well and gave us interesting and, on a face validity basis, reasonable results. The advantage of limited posttesting are natural exposure and quick measurement. Thus far we have done about a dozen developmental studies involving about 3000 respondents. Jerome B. Reed did two large-scale laboratory projects in which repetition was not a variable, but distraction, attention to commercials, competition, audience, and message type were variables. But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience. The respondents are not told to concentrate on the commercials themselves. This is done as the advertising is being created. Continuous monitoring systems, especially of the repetitive survey type, can provide additional information which might be utilized in the earlier stages of the decision process. Ravi Mehta, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA In Figure 1, it is called the laboratory experimentation stage. Not only is such a copy test typically one shot in terms of exposure, but there is also a tendency for copy testing researchers to seek the single ideal measurement. It is possible to make the conditions of exposure quite natural and measure on a number of levels so the full texture of communication response can be gauged. Contrary to previous research in this series, the advertising was placed in the context of program material, and the cover story consisted of the "television violence-humor project." It provides a solution to another of the validational problems of pretests. His was the first study in which we clearly observed two different types of hierarchy of response within the same experiment. The copy testing procedures that are used are also deficient in several ways. Continuous monitoring systems, especially of the repetitive survey type, can provide additional information which might be utilized in the earlier stages of the decision process. Advertising Pre-Testing can help optimize and perfect your creative campaign prior to its large scale launch, protecting you from underperforming advertisements, potentially saving you thousands of dollars and preserving your brand reputation. In addition, these were the first studies done with television advertising.
Media models have been developed which include as part of their data base, many of the factors which might affect the operation of various commercials in the field. Two ads held great appeal with women, but were toned down slightly, so as not to alienate men. Govt. We have told respondents that the research was being conducted to investigate television violence and humor or television ratings. Developing a pretesting technique is an engineering job. Copyright 2017 Persuadable Research Corp. AAU Informs Portfolio Architecture and Innovation Opportunities to Drive Growth.
Michael L., in collaboration with Sawyer, A.G., Rothschild, M.L. More detail on these studies is found in Ray (1972), Ray et al. THE STATE OF BEHAVIORAL APPLICATION IN ADVERTISING. An ad pre-test is a market research type of survey that allows brands to get consumer feedback and test ads before launching a new campaign to make sure they nail it! Our data have been used in media model runs with positive results. One of ourSolutions Expertswould love to talk with you.
The field experimentation recommended by the research system would not have to be done often, but it would have to be done from time to time to accurately validate both the copy tests and the media models. And feedback is almost non-existent. For instance, in the color versus black and white test, the black and white ads that did well on depth response in the lab tended to out-perform the color ads in ad and brand awareness in the field. One thing that was learned, however, is that strong response measures from the laboratory were likely to be good predictors of weak response measures in the field. Its a convenient model for the research industry to perpetuate because its a linear, sequential and seemingly logical approach which is very easy to structure pre-testing. Central location tests are also on of the effective means pf pre testing ads where the consumers are shown the ads in shopping centers with questions asked before and after the ad or commercial. In fact, it is possible to add print ad versions of commercials and increase exposure up to 10. Another finding relevant to those doing antidrug abuse advertising was that it was possible to have a marked effect on the belief atmosphere in a local community with a heavy saturation campaign. But it can be monitored with a technique such as the one proposed and used here. Our feeling has been that it is desirable to have finished advertising to determine actual potential of ad response. For the more low involvement state assembly race, there were effects on the cognitive and extremely strong effects on the attitudinal measure. Again, there was support for the findings in that initial study, as well as some indication of the comparative response to product advertising as opposed to political advertising.
San Diego, August, 1974. The end result of such an approach should be not only better pretesting but also more extensive, efficient utilization of both behavioral science hints and media models in advertising decision-making. Typically there are repetitive exposures of test commercials embedded in a stream of messages, and there is multiple measurement after test exposures to determine the nature of communication response. So his answer to the repetition function question. For the presidential advertising, increased repetitions produced standard learning hierarchy results acroSs the cognitive, affective and conative measures in the study. Other messages created a generally positive response but nothing that seemed to be indicative of a behavioral one. Advertising is creative. They are then told that they will see a demonstration of such an approach which consists of a stream of messages presented on a futuristic television screen display. FIGURE THE STATE OF BEHAVIORAL APPLICATION IN ADVERTISING. Rothschild's study also included products that were similar to the classifications in Studies I and II. Respondents were told that they should watch the programs as they normally would, and coffee and doughnuts were provided in the room to get them moving about as they normally would when they watch television. By varying the amount of competitive advertising, Heeler was able to show that response was quite different depending on the measure.
Berkeley management science laboratory. It also allows the decision maker to see how the ideas from the behavioral area and past experience apply in this specific setting. 
The ads also sometimes are tested by advertisers on their own employees. The fourth stage of the research system is an attempt to eliminate some of these problems, which come from lack of attention to field situation variables in making the predictions to the field. The ad achieved a high emotion score on FaceTrace, yet only a relatively small proportion of their sample accurately replayed the message that Cadburys chocolate was now available on a digestive. The copy tester, on the other hand, earns his living by finding differences between commercials. Imperial Leisure is a data-driven creative agency in London and Singapore working across all media including social media, PR, CRM, advertising, digital, mobile, print, retail and viral marketing. (Stanford GSB Research Paper No. It provides a solution to another of the validational problems of pretests. It is mandatory to procure user consent prior to running these cookies on your website. The Stanford research has opted for the middle ground in pretesting; that is, we have worked with just the selection-scheduling type of pretest. Embedded into the mailings were weekly, bi-weekly and monthly schedules of advertising for six different ads or ad campaigns. These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent. The article from which this figure came indicates how such field experimentation might be developed to test these two components of the research system. More competitive advertising actually helped the recall of test advertising. The pretest is quite inefficient if it is used in isolation or if a new form of pretest is developed for each individual situation. They are then told that they will see a demonstration of such an approach which consists of a stream of messages presented on a futuristic television screen display. It seems that psychological, organizational and political factors are often a greater reason for copy tests than anything else. The Stanford research has opted for the middle ground in pretesting; that is, we have worked with just the selection-scheduling type of pretest. Identifies memorable phrases and moments, Analyzes the ability to recall ad elements. For instance, in the color versus black and white test, the black and white ads that did well on depth response in the lab tended to out-perform the color ads in ad and brand awareness in the field. The author's contention is that a collaboration of managerial, behavioral and quantitative people in advertising can be established with a research system that attacks the important "problems of the middle range" that occur repeatedly in advertising. At the same time that this natural setting is achieved, it is possible to show respondents commercials at 0 through 3 exposures in competition with the normal commercial fare that is offered on television. The patient was able for instance to drive calmly and dispassionately past cars involved in accidents. 
Respondents are recruited to participate in studies that are a cover for the actual intent of the research. ----------------------------------------, Advances in Consumer Research Volume 2, 1975 Pages 577-588, THE ADVERTISING PRETEST AS PART OF A MULTIMEASURE, MULTIMETHOD, MULTISITUATION VALIDATION AND APPLICATION RESEARCH SYSTEM. We conduct marketing research to identify current and potential users of your brand and test your creative concepts to optimize their impact on current and potential users of your brand. Theres considerable financial and professional investment at stake, so its no surprise that pre-testing is often contentious and viewed by some as imprecise. Chicago: American Marketing Association, 1972, 475-478.
Michael L. Ray (1975) ,"The Advertising Pretest As Part of a Multimeasure, Multimethod, Multisituation Validation and Application Research System", in NA - Advances in Consumer Research Volume 02, eds. In Boris W. Backer and Helmut Becker (Eds. The field experimentation recommended by the research system would not have to be done often, but it would have to be done from time to time to accurately validate both the copy tests and the media models. Since, as shown on the chart, there is really no research done in this approach, the behavioral scientist answering the question usually said: "Well maybe, there might be response function differences.".
Heller, Roger M., Strong, E.C., & Reed, J.B. Marketing communication and the hierarchy-of-effects.
The strong but irritating commercial did best on all field measures, with the exception of those measures having to do with advertisement liking. Peter Webb, with support from the Marketing Science Institute, has done two large-scale studies in which the key independent variable was the degree and nature of television clutter, i.e., the amount of nonprogram interruptions (primarily advertising) and the way they are scheduled within a program. Damasio's findings suggested that emotions were crucial to decision-making. In a sense, then, this is used as a final check in many cases to assure decision makers that the commercial they are about to run is an excellent one. We believe we have a useful pretesting technique that can be used in a wide variety of situations. In this case, the management problem of concern was: 'What kind of messages should be used in highly competitive situations?" Most important for us, the selection-scheduling type of pretest has the potential of being used in a research system involving not only pretests but also behavioral analysis, media models, field experimentation, and campaign monitoring. The second stage of the research system is one in which behavioral science and past experience is tapped to develop alternative strategies, in the case of Figure 1, this meant the develoPment of alternate message strategies.
To learn how some of our clients have carried out Advertisement Pre-Test surveys and the results obtained thanks to the strategies implemented based on consumer insights, continue reading: In the first one, a premium formula milk brand in the child nutrition category decided to enter the children cereal category. Unlike the management science modeling one, the copy testing approach does not specify a problem that can be dealt with in a continuing and ordered way. Here the alternatives are in as finished form as possible, the sampling is more representative of the audience, and measurement is made to determine realistic communication response rather than physiological indicators or consumer opinions of advertising effectiveness. We have told respondents that the research was being conducted to investigate television violence and humor or television ratings. Embedded into the mailings were weekly, bi-weekly and monthly schedules of advertising for six different ads or ad campaigns. Media Vehicle Exposure Value Research Proposal. Through these studies, the brand discovered that the optimal communication style for Spain and Italy was more conservative than that of Portugal and CEE countries. Could its use branch out to test other things - for instance, a brand's social media? Mary Jane Schlinger, Ann Abor, MI : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 577-588. The samples are usually accidental. Copy testing or laboratory experimentation is emphasized because it provides a quick and low cost method to separate out those alternatives that should be considered further. Because of this goal, it is necessary to make the exposure conditions and measurement as natural as possible, considering the usual "laboratory" type of setting for the test. After performing an Advertisement Pre-test, the companys Marketing Department explains to the Board that the formula change is of no interest to consumers. These results are reported in Ray et al. The third type of approach to advertising decision making problems is the academic application of behavioral science ideas. The measures tend to be either gross physiological ones or, on the other hand, consumer "expert" opinions about the content of advertising.
It is possible to make the conditions of exposure quite natural and measure on a number of levels so the full texture of communication response can be gauged. The fourth stage of the research system has to do with media model runs. We're a creative agency in London and Singapore. The pretest is quite inefficient if it is used in isolation or if a new form of pretest is developed for each individual situation. It's based on the work of psychologist Paul Ekman, who established that there are seven human emotions we all express in the same way regardless of our background or culture: happiness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, contempt and sadness.
The situation as we saw it for these general recurring problems could be depicted as shown in the chart on the following page. These were the first studies that were not done in 8 mobile unit parked in a shopping center. In the first three studies we were concerned with determining whether we could get repetition response functions in the laboratory setting that were realistic and consistent from study to study. In fact, it is possible to add print ad versions of commercials and increase exposure up to 10. Beverly Hills: Sage Publications, 1973.
The main problems with this approach, as can be seen in the chart, is that the behavioral scientist tends to start with propositions and then attempt to find a problem to which to apply the propositions. It requires movement back and forth over the stages of the research system outlined here.
Studies I through III: Repetition Pretest Technique DeveloPment. The two messages were run on alternate cables with a 400 GRP weight over a 4-week period in May and early June 1973. The academic behavioral science applier tends to see a great deal of complexity in the world. Usually copy tests are done with accidental samples, without the normal surrounding material that is involved when ads are actually exposed, without the variations of exposure that allow a scheduling decision (that is, there tends not to be any repetition variation or variations in program type or variation in media type or variation in competitive setting), without measurement on the several levels that determine advertising response in an effective way, and without delayed measurement or measurement of purchasing action. The best example of this sort of approach is the day-after-recall test. The analysis of this study is not complete, but surprisingly enough, there does not seem to be a great effect caused by the during-exposure measurement. But it had a negative effect on attitude and purchase intention measures. Field Study II: Split Cable Experiment with Anti-Drug Abuse Messages. Sometimes there are behavioral measures which follow the test itself. In this case, the management problem of concern was: 'What kind of messages should be used in highly competitive situations?" The effects of variation in message were not as dramatic. By attaching respondents to a GSR monitoring system, it was possible to see if resulting gross arousal changes had any pattern during the advertisement exposures. By varying the amount of competitive advertising, Heeler was able to show that response was quite different depending on the measure. Studies IX and X: Anti-drug Abuse Advertising Pretesting Procedure. That is, pretests are often asked to predict to a situation in which the very variables which are manipulated in the lab are not cleanly manipulated. The measures tend to be either gross physiological ones or, on the other hand, consumer "expert" opinions about the content of advertising. Ray, Michael L., A proposal for validating measures and models in highly competitive decision situations. Several aspects of this procedure should be underlined. This was similar to what would be predicted by Herbert Krugman's low involvement learning hypothesis. or even turn into a disastrous public relations nightmare.
Field Study 1. The respondents are not told to concentrate on the commercials themselves. The consumer's thought process is assumed to go something like this: we're alerted to a new piece of information, we think about it, and this persuades us of the brand's benefits. By years end, product sales had increased by 15% in comparison to the year before.
The general finding (reported in detail in Part II of the December,1971,Management Science) was that the model ran much more efficiently and produced better results when the more textured data from the laboratory pretests were used as opposed to a single function run of the model. Rather they are concerned with the general presentation, which is closely connected to watching television normally. The fourth stage of the research system is an attempt to eliminate some of these problems, which come from lack of attention to field situation variables in making the predictions to the field. Save money and time with insights from the Persuadables. The third stage is the one involving copy testing. But it had a negative effect on attitude and purchase intention measures. The laboratory setting of the selection-scheduling pretest offers the potential for control of those variables which are critical in advertising effectiveness. It combines the advantages of experimental control with an effective cover story and relatively natural exposure conditions. So the model builders answer to the question was typically: "No, there are no differential effects on the repetition response function due to the situation." The studies that have been done with the technique have included competitive messages, multi-media effects, differences in cover story and degree of attention directed to messages, variation in distraction, and in the types of viewing groups. In Figure 1, it is called the laboratory experimentation stage. These people started with a well-defined problem, such as advertising scheduling, and then proceeded to develop a clear conceptualization of the problem area by working intensively with managers who understood it. The third stage is the one involving copy testing. the influential theories of Daniel Colley in the 1960s, Orlando Wood, Innovation Director at BrainJuicer. Studies IV through VI: Repetition with Variation. In the standard design we normally use, measurement is done only after exposure to messages. Such a system promises the potential of validation of both the pretest and the models. Two methods were tried in a small pilot project done at the U.C. This was later echoed by scientists at Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, who found that a decision is formed in our subconscious around 10 seconds before we believe weve consciously made that decision. TYPES OF PRETESTING There are essentially three types of pretests which come at different stages of the advertising decision-making process.
In this research he used the "Television Violence-Humor Project" and a new "Television Program Rating Evaluation Project" cover stories. There is a need to present materials in a very natural way with all of the key situational variables operating while at the same time there is clear experimental control and definitive measurement of response. Learn all about the complete Success Story, Omnibus surveys: how they help you get the insights you need quickly and efficiently, 54% of consumers have changed how they eat and drink, Quirks Media Conference London an overview from day 2 of the show. Such pretesting can be done quickly with less cost than the limited posttesting type. Because all products and ad campaigns were developed in Spain, the brand would have to make sure the message would have a positive impact on brand image, and not confuse consumers in the countries. Our data have been promising thus far and offer hope for improved advertising planning in the future. Instead Heeler did these studies in a central research facility. The brand launched an Advertisement Pre-test study to predict how consumers would respond to the launch and if they were willing to pay a 25% price increase for it. Instead Heeler did these studies in a central research facility. This is the typical copy testing approach. The author's contention is that a collaboration of managerial, behavioral and quantitative people in advertising can be established with a research system that attacks the important "problems of the middle range" that occur repeatedly in advertising. Their analysis revealed that emotional response - the intensity with which people feel any emotion after seeing an ad - could indeed be a better predictor of effectiveness than commonly used evaluative information-processing measures. By using response function estimations from the lab within the context of the other media models inputs, it is possible to make very precise and realistic predictions to the field. Two of the messages that were found to have quite opposite and interesting effects on the parents audience were run in a month long split cable field experiment in the Ad Tel West split cable market.
When pretesting is considered as part of a decision and research system of the sort partially depicted in Figure 1, there are certain requirements for it that otherwise would be ignored.
The last case describes how an energy drink brand wanted to improve its positioning with its target and increase its market share to catch the product category leader.
