Product Testing FAQs: Benefits of Pre-Launch Testing

 

 


  • Why is product testing important?

    Product testing allows you to validate product quality, performance, and attributes. This helps to identify areas for improvement before launch. When you use reliable product testers who align with your target market, you get critical, real-world feedback. You can then efficiently apply this feedback to your product development process. A product test stage can also catch catastrophic product issues before going to market. This way, you’ll be sure the product you’re launching is exactly what your target audience is looking for.


  • Should friends, family, and coworkers be included in product tests?

    While friends, family and coworkers may be alright with larger sample sizes, the risks associated with small samples should be considered. Instead, consider the benefit to your brand and bottom line of launching a successful product the first time as opposed to experiencing returns, unsold items, or customer complaints. The risks of including family, friends, or colleagues in your pre-market testing are:

    – They may not be representative of your target market.

    – They may not be qualified to provide feedback on your specific product.

    – They may not be honest about their opinions and are often significantly less responsive than product testers.

  • What should I look for in a product tester?

    A critical step to ensuring you receive valuable, timely feedback is to confirm that your product testers match your target customer criteria before starting the product testing process. Accessing information beyond simple demographics is essential. To effectively accelerate your accurate product tester recruitment, you’ll need deep tester information, which is available on the MESH01 product testing platform.

    Enhanced Tester Profile Details
    Zero-in on critical tester criteria fast by accessing pre-existing survey data showing details like work environment or attire, shopping habits and more

    Product Tester Activity Details
    Information about lifestyle, activities, level of participation, and frequency of participation in a certain activity or sport allows you to identify a tester who can keep up with your product’s intended use and testing needs.

    Tester Ratings and Reliability
    Don’t just take the tester’s word for it – access constantly-calculated reliability ratings based on previous testing so you know you’re making the best choice for your product assessment.

Choosing the right testers for your product testing assessment is an important step, and ensures your ability to infuse your product with critical voice of the customer feedback and be confident that you’re launching a market-leading product.
