“Working with one of the world’s largest providers of greeting cards, we have been able to predict actual sales performance (+/-10%) in 16 out of 19 cases using a combination of metrics from the Attention Tool® and cognitive attributes. Being able to measure the Emotional Response in an easy and affordable way is therefore an important development for the Consumer Insight Research industry."

Proof Of Concept

For POC, Attention Tool®’s Emotion Metrics technology is compared  Vs traditional methods to measure emotions such as Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Self Assessment Manikin (SAM). Results indicates that Attention Tool® technology measures emotional arousal as good as, or even better than the GSR and the SAM whilst being completely non-intrusive, objective and easy to use.

Notes on Emotional Activation

When testing emotional activation it is important to accept the premise that the result does not say why the result is what it is. You will have to interpret the result. Drivers of emotional activation can be:

1. Relation - the segment has a strong relation to a brand/product/advertisement

2. Content - the contents of the stimulus contain arousing components: explicit sexual/implied sexual, etc.

3. Gestalt - the contents create a gestalt, association to something else which is arousing.

4. Novelty/sensitisation - the segment has not been exposed to a brand / product / advertisement before and react to the new stimulus, because its new.
