Test Marketing Experiment (or other type of study) conducted in a field setting
Test Markets • Standard
Test Markets • Controlled
Test Markets • Electronic
Test Markets • Simulated
Selecting Test Market Cities Representativeness Ideal city is one where demographic and psychological characteristics most closely match desired population
Selecting Test Market Cities Degree of Isolation Distribution and promotion should be limited to one geographic area
Selecting Test Market Cities Ability to Control Distribution and Promotion Distributors and media sources need to be willing and able to cooperate
Internal Validity Extent to which change in Dependent variable is due to manipulation of independent variable
Threats to Internal Validity History/Extraneous Factors Specific events in the external environment occurring between first and second measurements that are beyond the control of the experimenter
Threats to Internal Validity Maturation/Changes in subjects Subjects change in some way over the course of the experiment
Threats to Internal Validity Testing Initial measurement affects test-taking the second time test is administered
Threats to Internal Validity Instrumentation/Measure Error Change in method of measuring dependent variable or change in degree of sensitivity or accuracy in measurement instrument
Threats to Internal Validity Mortality/Drop-Out Withdrawal of subjects from experiment before completion of experiment
