Branding Equity
At BYAN Research, we gauge your brand equity by employing a comprehensive blend of tools, incorporating both Quantitative and Qualitative methodologies. In our Quantitative approach, we meticulously calculate the brand index of your brand in comparison to your competitors. We delve into critical inquiries, encompassing factors such as your brand's presence within the category, perceptions, quality perceptions, consumer attitudes, and the depth of loyalty and connection your audience feels with your brand.

We use the Qualitative model for exploring the branding position using Kapferer model. The Brand Identity Prism places the six elements in relation to each other by taking into consideration their position between the business (Sender) and client (Recipient), and vice versa.
The areas defined between these points range from internal (Personality, Culture, Self-image) to external (Physique, Relationship, Reflection), and many paths can be drawn to join each area.

Concept Testing
Testing the potential of concepts and ideas for products or services before launch. Thus, you can gauge your customers’ acceptance and willingness to buy and make critical decisions before the launch.

Concept testing research involves two fundamental approaches:
First, gather qualitative insights through focus groups and interviews. These discussions help us refine and optimize the concept by listening to people's thoughts and opinions. Second, we apply quantitative methods to test the concept statistically. This data-driven approach allows us to gauge the concept's potential on a larger scale, providing valuable insights for further development. Combining these qualitative and quantitative techniques ensures a comprehensive evaluation of concepts to make informed decisions.

We study:

  • Appeal Level
  • Comprehension
  • Relevance for Consumer's Needs
  • Uniqueness Versus the Current Offerings
  • Key Message / Benefit Captured
  • Reason to Believe for the Key Message

Product Testing
In continuously developing markets, it is necessary to introduce new products or to further develop existing products to maintain a competitive edge.
Product Test Research enables a business to identify the appeal of the product in comparison to existing competition and current offers on the market and evaluate user feedback and experience upon using/trying the product.

We can identify the areas of development needed for the product – whether sensory attributes or functional attributes upon using.

Product Testing can be done for different purposes:

  • Replacing an old existing product
  • Development of an existing product (Can be used in changing formulas for cost cutting purpose)
  • Introduction of a new product that aims to compete with existing products on the market

Example: Mystery Shopper – FMCG sector
