Key questions

•      The used of elements in TVC

•      The calories concerned in snack

•      Brand image and motivation to purchase after see the TVC

Key answers

1. Answers for what feelings they had after watching the TVC or could they understand the TVC. Fortunately all of the participants said they could understand it indeed because it was clearly, easy to understand and attractive. Children might be attracted and parents would be influenced. All of them caught the point of low calorie and healthy snack. However, there were some parts that they confused especially burger and water bottle. In their opinion, if the promotion point was low calories, water bottle had no meaning and burger was too big to compare to a chocolate bar. In addition, burger liked a representation of junk food while some respondents did not regard chocolate bar as junk food, it might make misunderstood.

2. Answers for the use of elements in TVC. They thought the voice of TVC was fast and indistinct but the red was appropriate especially for Kit Kat.

3. Answers for the calories concerned in snack. From the respondents, one guy cared much about calories, and three participants noticed the calories but the others did not care about the calories.

4. Answers for brand image and motivation to purchase after see the TVC. It would influence them because before they did not notice that Kit Kat had such a low calories, but after watching the TVC they would think of it. But there were some respondents said they did not like eating chocolate or they did not care the calories so it might not influence them.

The role of pre-testing

Focus group can give us objective advices, comprehensive thinking. Besides, our respondents have professional knowledge of graphic design so they could give us some professional advices. And it would minimize the bias, because native respondents could show us their native opinion of Kit Kat. Last it would reduce the risks since we collected different suggestions from different people.

Team’s reflection on the planning and conduct the Focus Group

From the process of preparing and doing focus group, we have learnt that it was a little short; the best time period would be around 20-25 minutes. The moderators could not control the step of respondents’ answers and all respondents have to participate in every single question one by one. In addition, some questions are similarly. Camera can not focus every respondent’s face due to observe their expression during the focus group. And it should have a second plan if any accident is occurred.

Discussion and recommendation

After complete focus group, we thought the volume and tone of aside voice need to be improved. The hamburger and water will be discussed later whether we change it or not, so do the color and background. The figures were drew so if we type it on or keep it original. It was lucky that respondents could understand core message. Therefore, the effectiveness was good, but we need improvement and think the details more careful and clearer.
