 CONSUMER TESTING
 

We have experience conducting consumer evaluations of a broad range of products including chocolate, dairy products (milk, ice cream, and yogurt), muscle foods (chicken, beef, pork and fish), eggs, fruit and fruit juices, vegetables, prepared foods, snack foods, confectionary products and many more. Tests can be carried out as home use or central location tests. We maintain a database of consumers with the capability of screening for your test objectives.

Our services include:

  
  • Project design and protocol development
  • Development of screener and ballot with input from the client
  • Panelist recruitment
  • Data collection (12 testing booths equipped with Compusense software)
  • Statistical analysis
  • Assistance with data interpretation
  • Report provided at completion of study
Generally, we can complete your consumer test within 2 weeks of proposal acceptance. We have an experienced staff ready to meet your testing needs.
