Buying Decision Test

How and to what extent does a message or experience impact how a consumer makes a buying decision?

What It Measures

How persuasive and incidental stimuli influence buying decisions and purchasing behavior.

The extent to which a buying decision is influenced by selected prior stimuli, including both consciously recognized and pre-consciously experienced stimuli.

Use It To ...

  • Measure how an experience or message translates into a buying decision
  • Utilize a simulated buying task to gain insights that go beyond and beneath verbal statements of intent
  • Compare buying decision impacts of different approaches to persuasion - logical, emotional, indirect
  • Identify implicit and incidental stimuli that facilitate or inhibit a buying decision

How We Report Results

  • Standardized decision results under different conditions, on a 0-10 scale
  • Before-vs.-after decision whole-head difference wave maps
  • Before-vs-after decision waveform comparison at target electrodes

Underlying Science

  • Behavioral economics, consumer psychology, neuroeconomics, decision theory
  • Semantic and affective priming
  • EEG frequency band analysis
  • Facial micro-muscle movement (EMG)
  • Physiological response analysis: skin conductance, pupilometry
