Consumer tests
quantitative

Objectively assess the perception of your product across a large, representative sample. Gain concrete, statistically robust, and immediately actionable data to secure your product launches and strengthen your regulatory documentation.

SYRES Quantitative Consumer Tests

A suitable study structure to your goals

Single product review

Absolute measurement of a product's performance on a representative panel of the target audience.

Comparative evaluations

Several products, product versus benchmarks, active versus placebo to help you choose between different options.

A suitable protocol for every need

Home testing (HUT)

Testing under real-world conditions at home over several weeks. Measures perceived effectiveness, satisfaction, and the evolution of claims and results in daily use.

On-site testing (CLT)

Standardized evaluation in a controlled center. Simultaneous comparisons of products or formulas under identical conditions for all panelists.

Tests with standardized photos

Tests using photos taken under standardized conditions to objectively and visually measure the evolution or performance of a product.

Fit test

Evaluates the resistance of your products under real-world conditions (controlled or uncontrolled). Allows you to make claims such as "12-hour transfer-proof wear" or "all-day sweat resistance".

Usage tests under medical supervision

Multicentre tests

Packaging tests

Validation of claims

Consumer tests
qualitative

Qualitative research allows us to delve into the heart of the consumer experience to understand its underlying mechanisms. By revealing unspoken expectations, our studies guide your product development and secure your marketing strategies well before launch.

SYRES Qualitative Consumer Tests

A suitable format to each question

Focus groups & consumer meetings

A meeting of 6 to 10 consumers, facilitated by a sector expert. It reveals in-depth motivations, obstacles, and collective perceptions.

Individual Interviews (IDI)

In-depth, face-to-face meetings lasting 45 to 90 minutes. Ideal for sensitive topics, complex buying journeys, or expert profiles. Rich and contextualized verbatim transcripts.

Online community

Interactive digital panel spanning several days or weeks. Rich feedback, iterative potential, ideal for remote markets or hard-to-recruit profiles.

Sniff test & olfactory studies

Objective tests by ISIPCA-trained experts and subjective blind tests by your consumers. A complete view of your products' olfactory performance.

Flash test

Fast and cost-effective testing of concepts, packaging, or innovations. Immediate and representative feedback from your core target audience.

Packaging tests

Concept tests

Thematic sessions

Formula validations

The hybrid approach: The synergy of meaning and proof.

Complex strategic challenges demand a multidimensional perspective. We often recommend a two-step protocol: an exploratory qualitative phase to understand current practices, followed by quantitative validation. Deep insights transformed into robust statistical data.

1

Qualitative phase — Understanding

Focus groups, interviews, thematic sessions. We map perceptions, obstacles, deep motivations — to build the right questions.

2

Quantitative protocol design

Qualitative insights feed into the quantitative questionnaire: relevant angles, consumer vocabulary, hypotheses to be tested statistically.

3

Quantitative phase — Prove

Home-Use Test, CLT or durability test on a large sample. Statistically robust and directly usable figures.

A structured process, from start to finish.

1
Brief & framing

We analyze your product issue, your claim objectives and your time constraints to define the optimal framework for the study.

2
Customized protocol

Our experts design a suitable protocol: methodology, panel sizing, inclusion criteria and statistical analysis plan.

3
Recruitment

Rigorous selection of panelists from our qualified database, according to the demographic, dermatological or behavioral criteria defined by the protocol.

4
Conducting the study

Field deployment, quality supervision, data collection. A dedicated project manager coordinates everything and ensures real-time monitoring.

5
Analysis & Report

Statistical processing, interpretation of results, and drafting of the final report. Actionable claims, ready to be used by your teams.

What our studies allow us to say.
