- Over the past 20 years much of simulated test marketing has evolved including the practice, major players, and the methods. Today, the simulated test market industry remains fairly consolidated, with models that are generally similar. The most notable changes are in the diversity of areas that are served by simulated test marketing, the method of data collection, and the sophistication of returned diagnostics. The vendors do more concept screening and testing than what was previously done before as well.
- One of the larger changes is in the collection of data via the internet. Originally data was generally collected in centralized locations such as a mall, but the internet has been a replacement due to its cost effectiveness and the fast paced lifestyle of consumers in our world today.
- . There are two categories for the simulated test marketing models. Purchase intent and Preference Share. Purchase intent is generally gauged on a 5 point scale system and preference share trial is measured for a new product given a competitive set.
- One of the reasons simulated test marketing has grown so much is due to the relatively cheap price in comparison to regular full scale test marketing. Simulated test marketing will range in the field of $25,000 to $100,000 unlike full scale test marketing which can be 1 million or more.
