Methods for Product Mapping
Cost Efficient Methods for Product Mapping
(webinar length:  1h 7m)

Overview

Perceptual maps or pictorial representations of a set of products can help visualize the
sensory similarities and differences in a group of related products. This information is useful
for a variety of purposes such as a category appraisal or competitive product benchmarking.
A variety of data types can serve as input to the statistical programs that produce such plots,
such as trained panel (e.g. descriptive analysis) data or product ratings from consumers.
Recently, a number of popular techniques have been studied that can derive maps from
consumer data with minimal cost and minimal cognitive requirements on the participants.
Two such techniques are product sorting, and projective mapping or napping. Napping (from
the French nappe or tablecloth) is a simple technique in which consumers place products on
a surface to represent how similar or different they are. Combined with Multifactor Analysis
(MFA) this provides a powerful yet efficient technique for studying consumer perception. The
insights from these techniques can propel marketing strategies as well as identify product
development opportunities. This webinar will provide an introduction to methods of sorting
and mapping, how the experiments are conducted, how the data are analyzed, and give
several examples from recent scientific literature. The MFA freeware module in the R
statistical language will be shown as one option for analysis.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the principles and techniques for making perceptual maps.
Obtain an overview of the mapping and sorting techniques.
Understand how mapping and sorting studies are conducted and analyzed.
Introduce the Multifactor analysis (MFA) procedure and how to use it in the R language.

Who will benefit:

Sensory evaluation and consumer testing professionals
Market researchers and marketing managers
Food scientists, technologists and product developers
Managers in the foods and consumer products industries
Statistical professionals and consultants dealing with consumer data
