Home-use test

When real consumers use your product in the comfort of their own home, in the moment and situation where they normally use such a product, they can give you the most honest and unbiased feedback. This feedback is what a home-use test captures.

What is a Home-use test

You can use a home-use test whenever you need honest and unbiased feedback in order to understand how good your product really is. E.g., you have a new recipe and want to find out if it really is an improvement compared to the original. It will tell you:

  • How good is your product, the sensory experience.
  • How well does the experience match the expectations and the brand values
  • How your product be improved

Why

Based on the results of a home-use test you can decide if your product is good enough or if it needs tweaking. A positive result will also help to convince others to support your product, like investors or retailers.

How

Participants are recruited in busy places where we can find the ‘general population’. They are handed the product and instructions for participating in the test. They use the product at home and fill in an online questionnaire afterwards. For each test we recruit a representative sample of at least 200 participants.
