CLT

Central Location Tests: put your product in front of consumers under controlled conditions.

In a Central Location Test, recruited respondents come to a venue to try, taste, or evaluate products, packaging, or communication, and give structured feedback on the spot.

About CLT

Central Location Tests (CLT) bring target consumers to one venue, where they evaluate products or materials in a standardised way. They are well suited to taste and sensory tests, product comparisons, packaging evaluation, and advertising or concept screening.

Because preparation, serving, and questioning follow one protocol, differences in the results can be attributed to the products themselves rather than to how they were tested.
