SYRES — consumer research services

Consumer Tests

SYRES' core business since 1997. We measure what consumers really experience with your products — effectiveness, enjoyment, tolerance and perception — to transform their feelings into actionable claims.

Effectiveness Tests
Actual effectiveness measured under usage conditions: hydration, anti-aging, cleansing power, makeup hold.
Tolerance Tests
Safety proven under medical supervision.
Perception Tests
Sensory satisfaction, emotions, perceived value for money, repurchase intention: the objective perception.
Qualitative approaches
Focus groups and individual interviews to explore underlying motivations prior to or in addition to a quantitative test.

Sensory Analysis

Objectively assess the sensory experience of your products: texture, smell, taste, visual appearance. Standardized methods (QDA, Napping, hedonic testing) allow you to accurately map and compare your formulas.

Sensory profile (QDA)
Comprehensive description of sensory attributes by a trained expert panel. Sensory spider usable in R&D and steering committees.
Discriminatory tests
Duo & triangular tests to statistically detect if consumers perceive a difference between two formulas (ISO 5495 / 4120).
Flash profile, napping & CATA
Rapid competitive positioning and mapping of consumer preferences on large panels.
Hedonic tests
Measurement of appreciation, preference and purchase intention on a representative naive panel, in a center or at home.

Exploratory Studies

Before testing, you need to understand. Motivations, unconscious barriers, usage rituals, unstated expectations: our exploratory studies map the human terrain on which your product strategy is based.

Thematic workshops
Lively sessions around a specific theme — well-aging, sun, food supplements, teenagers… — to reveal perceptions and expectations before any development.
Specialized panels
Immediate access to rare pre-recruited targets: families, seniors, ethnic panels, consumers of food supplements.
Usage & Attitude Surveys
A statistical portrait of a category based on 60,000+ panelists: behaviors, frequencies, motivations and segmentation.
