Claims Combination Test
The Claims Combination Test is used when your product has several claims. To learn more
about Claims and Claims Testing, please refer to our article on claims testing for consumer goods. We’ve created the Claims Combination Test
using a methodology perfected over numerous projects with FMCG brands, allowing you to find the best
combinations of claims from a list of up to 100 individual claims ranked on preference share.
Conjointly’s unique methodology:
- Leverages a unique twist on choice-based experimental design to simultaneously provide insights on product features and pricing.
- Simulates preference share to compare performance of different claims combinations against competitors.
- Offers various diagnostic options to measure how well claims perform on standard measures, e.g. attractiveness, naturalness – or your own metrics.
Using Claims Combination Test to assess claims in combinations of 3 along different levels of pricing.
Respondents are asked to choose between one of four claims, arranged in various combinations.
Claims Combination Test surveys can be automatically translated to more than 30 languages.

Key outputs
Ranking of Singular Claims by Preference
Examining Claims Correlation
Simulating Preference Share
Preference share simulation showing the example product with different claims combinations identified the top claims combinations.
Analysing the Top Ten Claims Combinations
The share of preference in our example show shows that using claims combinations across both Benefits and RTBs takes the highest preference share.

Single Claims Test vs. Claims Combination Test
Claims Test produces lists of the top combinations of claims through TURF analysis that “reach” the largest number of customers. This can be problematic when testing combinations as TURF may recommend several claims that serve a similar purpose which can be detrimental to the effectiveness of the messaging.
Claims Combination Test ranks claims combinations on simulated preference share, giving a direct answer to the question of which claims combinations will get the most people interested in your product.
Inputs
A list of competitor products provided by BrandCo to test their claims against, including product images, current claims, and prices.
BrandCo also provided 15 claims to be tested organised into two topics: Benefits and Reasons to Believe (RTBs).
Survey flow
Unlike standard conjoint testing, a Combination Test allows claims to be arranged flexibly in various combinations, and more rules can be used to sort claims.
Commonly, this test is done in two stages:
Stage 1: BrandCo claims were tested against competitors’ claims to find the claims most effective at taking market share.
Stage 2: BrandCo claims were tested against each other to “sort” claims and refine combinations.
