Claims Development and Testing

Advertising and packaging claims can drive sales, but they must be carefully developed to maximize impact and rigorously substantiated to survive challenges from competitors. A poorly tested product claim can waste valuable marketing dollars. Misleading or improperly substantiated claims can expose your company to legal action, which may force you to suspend advertisements and pull products from stores. It’s critical to use proven methods for developing and substantiating claims every time.

With more than 30 years of experience in consumer research and litigation-support research, AMS is your partner in developing effective claims. Our team can manage your complete claims development and substantiation program from start to finish.
