Industry Standards for Message Research
Principles of the Positioning Advertising Copy Testing (PACT)
Principle 1 Provide measurements that are relevant to the advertising
objectives
Principle 2 Requires agreement about how the results will be used in
advance of each specific test
Principle 3 Provides multiple measurements because single
measurements are generally inadequate
Principle 4 Is based on a model of human response to communications
—reception of a stimulus, comprehension of stimulus, and response to stimulus
Principle 5 Allows for consideration of whether the advertising stimulus
should be exposed more than once
Trang 7Industry Standards for Message Research
Principles of the Positioning Advertising Copy Testing (PACT)
Principle 6 Recognizes that a more finished piece of copy can be
evaluated more soundly—alternative executions must be tested in the same degree of finish
Principle 7 System provides controls to avoid the bias normally found in
the exposure context
Principle 8 Takes into account basic considerations of sample definition
in requiring that the sample be representative of the target audience
Principle 9 Can demonstrate consistent results (reliability) and accurately
predicts marketplace performance

Measures of Recognition and Recall (cont’d)
• Day-After Recall Testing
1 Recruit viewers
2 Mail sample video to national sample of consumers
3 Consumers view video with embedded advertisements
4 Day after viewing, consumers are contacted to measure
their reactions to the TV program and advertisements
5 Calculation of message recall

In-home exposure makes it possible to measure advertising
effectiveness in a natural environment
Possible to assess the ability of TV commercials to break
through the clutter, gain the viewer’s attention, and influence
message recallability and persuadability
Measuring recall one day after exposure, it can determined how well tested commercials are remembered after a delay period
Videotape technology allows the use of representative national sampling
By providing several alternative measures of persuasion, the
Next*TV method allows brand managers and their ad agencies
to select the measures that best meet their specific needs

Postmeasure: After watching a television program with an
embedded test commercial, respondents again indicate which brands they would prefer to receive if selected in a drawing.
The ARS Persuasion Score
The postmeasure percentage of respondents preferring the target brand minus the premeasure percentage who prefer that brand
The higher the ARS Persuasion score, the greater the likelihood
that a tested commercial will produce positive sales gains when the focal brand is advertised under real-world, in-market conditions.
