Advertising Index

For the Advertising Index ad tests, a representative sample of around 750 people is surveyed in twelve waves. The respondents first complete a psychological test (50-item test) and then leaf through a magazine with 35 ads. As with reading a magazine, the respondent is free to spend as much time as he or she likes on each ad in the test. Before turning the page, she rates the ad on a scale of 5 ("appeals to me a lot") to 1 ("doesn't appeal to me at all"). Supporters" are people who are "very" or "fairly" appealed to by an ad. The acceptance of advertising determined in this way correlates strongly with other functions of advertising impact and is therefore suitable for benchmarking.
For the segmentation of the sample according to target groups, Market Radar uses a psychographic test, the so-called 50-item test. With the help of this test, the value orientations of the respondent are determined and assigned to one of the psychogram fields (see wind rose). The value orientations range from South (conservative) to North (progressive) and from West (outward-looking, materialistic) to East (inward-looking, idealistic).

Advertising IndexFor the Advertising Index ad tests, a representative sample of around 800 people is surveyed in eight survey waves. The respondent first completes a psychological test (50-item test) and then leafs through a booklet containing 45 advertisements. As when reading a magazine, they are free to linger over each advertisement for as long as they wish. Before turning the page, she rates the ad on a scale from 5 ("appeals to me a lot") to 1 ("doesn't appeal to me at all"). Supporters" are people who are "very" or "fairly" attracted by an ad. The acceptance of advertising determined in this way correlates strongly with other functions of advertising impact and is therefore suitable for benchmarking.
