Designing Great Concept Stimuli

Creating effective concept designs is crucial for gathering accurate and actionable insights during concept testing.

How to Create Effective Concept Designs for Concept Testing in a Survey

Here are some best practices to ensure your designs are optimized for success:

1. Use Consistent Formatting

If you are testing multiple concepts, ensure the formatting and presentation are consistent across all designs. This prevents bias and allows participants to focus on the content rather than the design differences.

2. Highlight Unique Features

Emphasize the key features or benefits of your concept. What makes it different or better than existing options? Clearly showcasing these elements will help participants provide more insightful feedback.

3. Focus on Clarity

Ensure your designs communicate the core idea clearly and concisely. Avoid unnecessary details or overly complex visuals that could confuse respondents. Use simple and direct language in any accompanying text.

4. Test a Range of Options

Include a variety of concepts to explore different ideas or approaches. This could involve testing variations in design, messaging, or features to identify what resonates most with your audience.

5. Keep It Visually Appealing

While clarity is important, your designs should also be aesthetically pleasing. Use clean layouts, professional visuals, and appropriate color schemes to maintain engagement.
