Pre-Test-Market Evaluation of New Packaged Goods: A Model and Measurement Methodology

The substantial failure rate of new packaged goods in test markets has stimulated firms to seek improved methods of pre-test-market evaluation. A set of measurement procedures and models designed to produce estimates of the sales potential of a new packaged good before test marketing is presented. A case application of the system also is discussed.
