Method and system for analyzing the effectiveness of marketing strategies
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing the effectiveness of a marketing strategy for at least one product, the method comprising:
- administering a survey relative to a marketing material that has multiple components, wherein survey results are provided by respondents in a target industry;
tracking subsequent behavioral data of the respondents; and
determining, based on the survey results and the subsequent behavioral data, which components of the marketing material most significantly affect subsequent respondent behavior;
wherein the survey related to a marketing material is a first survey for several of the various competing products, wherein first survey results are provided by a first group of respondents in a target industry corresponding to the market;
wherein the determining includes determining which components of the marketing materials for the several of the various competing products most significantly effect subsequent respondent behavior;
the method further comprising;
creating a first statistical model based on the first survey results, wherein the first statistical model represents an overall ability of the marketing materials for the several of the various competing products to influence respondent behavior;
administering a second survey to a second group of respondents for at least one competing product of the various competing products that is different from the several of the various competing products analyzed in the first survey, wherein the second survey consists of at least one module and wherein the second group of respondents provide second survey results in response to at least one marketing sample;
determining respondent attitude of the second group of respondents to the at least one competing product before respondents are exposed to the at least one marketing sample;
tabulating the second survey results of the at least one module;
determining what effect the at least one marketing sample had on respondent attitude of the second group of respondents regarding the at least one competing product of the various competing products;
determining how the at least one marketing sample can be expected to affect future behavior of the respondents;
creating a second statistical model based on the second survey results, wherein the second statistical model represents an overall ability of the marketing materials for the at least one competing product of the various competing products to influence respondent behavior; and
comparing the first statistical model to the second statistical model, wherein the comparison indicates the effectiveness of the marketing materials for the at least one competing product with respect to the marketing materials for the several of the various competing products.

Abstract
A method and system for analyzing a “detail” (the use of promotional materials in combination with a sales pitch), measures the effectiveness of a sales presentation and its ability to drive market share through a standardized, quantitative evaluation of the entire sale presentation and its related components. The method includes administering a two, different surveys. The first survey, the Detail Performance Monitor survey, comprises an “in the field” test of how respondents are responding to various marketing strategies by tracking subsequent behavioral data of the respondents and comparing the behavioral data to the survey results. The second survey, the Detail Assessment survey, comprises an “in the lab” test of how various marketing strategies affect respondent attitude towards a product by comparing respondent attitude before and after presentation of a simulated “detail” that represents the marketing strategy.
