# **Concept Testing Questions**

The concept testing questions to ask before a product launch, campaign, packaging update, feature build, or positioning decision.

# Concept Testing Questions

Good concept testing questions do three jobs:

1. Confirm the audience understands the idea.
2. Surface the reasons behind appeal or rejection.
3. Show what to change before launch.

Do not start with "Which one do you like best?" Start with comprehension. If the audience misunderstands the concept, preference data is noisy.

## Core questions

Use these for almost any concept:

1. In your own words, what is this concept offering?
2. What problem do you think it solves?
3. Who do you think this is for?
4. What feels most relevant to you?
5. What feels confusing or vague?
6. What do you not believe?
7. What would stop you from buying or trying it?
8. What would make the concept more compelling?
9. What alternative would you compare it with?
10. What would you expect this to cost?

## Product concept questions

Use these before building:

- Which feature feels most valuable?
- Which feature feels unnecessary?
- What job would you hire this product to do?
- What would you use instead if this did not exist?
- What is missing from the concept?
- What would make you switch from your current solution?

## Marketing concept questions

Use these before launching creative:

- What is the main message?
- Which claim is strongest?
- Which claim feels exaggerated?
- What emotion does this concept create?
- What is the first question you would ask after seeing it?
- What would make you click, sign up, or ignore it?

## How to run the questions in Minds

Paste the concept, define the audience, and ask 5 to 8 of the questions above. Run one panel per audience segment when the launch depends on different buyers, users, or decision-makers.

Read the open-ended answers before the scores. The fastest win is often rewriting the concept so the audience understands it in the same words your team intended.
