Product, package and concept testing

Refine and perfect: Gain crucial insights with our testing services

At RAIT, we provide extensive testing services to help you refine your products, packaging, and concepts before they hit the market. These tests are conducted in specially prepared premises or in respondents’ homes, offering real-world consumer insights into what makes your product or concept most appealing to your target audience. Sometimes we use bind testing. Blind testing is used during the tests to evaluate the qualities and features of a product/commodity, where the respondent cannot see the original package, brand or other distinctive features of a product, thus avoiding the effect of the brand on evaluation of the product.
