Qualitative research on Pears Foam Bath

Date of publication: October 2, 1975

Abstract:

There is some feeling that the current Pears Foam Bath advertising campaign on the gentleness platform is too soft and not specific enough in its claims. With this in mind, the agency has developed ed three scripts for a new campaign which approaches the concept of gentleness in a significantly different way and which lend themselves to qualitative research. The basic objectives of the research, therefore, were to:

1. Assess the nature of the response to reach the script and the total campaign amongst different user groups;

2. Debug the scripts prior to shooting;

3. Assess reactions to the Voice Over. 


About this collection: 
Peter Cooper (1936-2010) was co-founder of Cooper Research & Marketing, later CRAM International, with his wife Jackie French. Cooper studied Clinical Psychology at the University of Manchester where he became a Lecturer in the early 1960s. He became involved in conducting commercial Motivational Research and by 1968 opened Cooper Research & Marketing in Manchester. Cooper was one of the key pioneers of what we now know as Qualitative Research. CRAM opened its London office in Wimpole Street in 1970 and moved to 53 St Martins Lane, WC2N 4EA, in 1972 where it remained until Peter's passing in 2010. The company changed its name to CRAM International in around 1985/86, reflecting the increasingly international nature of its work. The CRAM/Peter Cooper Archive Collection, which includes commercial research reports and early academic papers, has been preserved by Peter's children, Diana, Helen and Jonathan, and his colleague Simon Patterson. The scanning of the Archive has been supported by ESOMAR, AMSR, Peter's colleague Dr Alan Branthwaite & family, the Cooper family, and QRi Consulting. The CRAM/Peter Cooper Archive Collection is managed by QRi Consulting. The CRAM logo and CRAM International name are Registered Trademarks and the property of QRi Consulting.
