Central Location Test
A key part of many qualitative research projects, central location tests (CLT) create a controlled environment for participants to engage with research and stimuli. This face-to-face setting (sometimes referred to as a “hall test") means variables can be minimised for a fairer test - particularly for physical products.
​
Why do Central Location Tests work for market research?
There are several reasons CLT is a preferred research method for countless projects. Firstly, it minimises the risk of bias by ensuring consistent conditions and reducing any outside influences. Through these face-to-face interactions, moderators can also observe body language and gather real-time insights, which might be missed online. As with an in-depth interview, follow-up questions can also be asked to provide even further insights.
Similarly, CLT offers unmatched convenience for market research - this way, lots of subjects can be tested at once and in one sitting, saving both project time and resources.
