Test product performance and likely repurchase.
WestGroup offers a depth of knowledge in the area of product research. In many respects, package goods companies have lead the way in developing new research techniques over the past 40 years.
A product is usually positioned to meet certain needs and to accomplish certain performance characteristics. WestGroup's product testing is designed to determine how well the product performs and how it compares to competitive products.
In Services Marketing, the consumer "goes into the factory" and observes the product "being made." In Product Marketing, the consumer finds the finished product sitting on the shelf and ready to perform.
No one is present in the grocery store to explain how the product will or should work. Advertising and packaging must perform those tasks.
