Kids ages 6-11

  • Kids 12-14 and 15-17 can be added on an incremental basis
  • Test Girls, Boys, or Dual-gender

Methodology:

  • Interviews will take place on-line as part of a monthly omnibus, fielded the second Thursday of each month.
  • Sample size is 300 kids (50 kids per age)
  • Test will utilize a standardized concept screen:
    • Kids will view each test concept in similar form (via illustration, photo, or written statement) and will be asked how much they like
    • Kids will rate each concepts on a short list of attributes
    • Kids will then be exposed to concepts again and asked to choose favorite, second favorite, etc..
    • We recommend that a "control" be included as one of the concepts in the test array. If so, then the test will also be able to measure the relative strength of the concept against a proven product.

 KidzEyes will be fielding the research:

  • KidzEyes is the children's research division of C&R Research, a pre-eminent worldwide research company. C&R Research has been an expert provider of kids' research for over twenty years.
  • KidzEyes offers access to an on-line research panel of 14,000 kids between the ages of 6-17. It is unique because it offers direct access to kids, not access to kids through parents.
