Business challenge
Transport for Wales wanted to test its new creatives to understand whether its messaging resonated with its target audience and would-be customers. Transport for Wales’ ultimate aim was to determine whether:
- its new campaign could prompt a behavioral shift amongst people who travel on its trains
- customers who are usually reluctant to book a seat reservation ahead of travel, would instead change their mind and opt to reserve a seat in advance.
Solution
Using Zenotrai Surveys: Self-serve, our rapid self-serve tool with granular profiling data, Transport for Wales was able to quickly target a sample of their target audience – people living in Wales – and show them two creative posters for their upcoming campaign. Survey questions were designed to reveal how easy respondents found it to understand the messaging, and asked whether the posters were likely to attract attention and interest.
The desired number of responses to the 13-question survey were achieved in just 24 hours, and the results were available immediately for the team at Transport for Wales to analyze.
The rich data that Zenotrai Surveys holds on all its members allowed Transport for Wales to target people in Wales only and provided the team with granular information and new insights on its target audience. Results were provided in Zenotrai’s powerful data analysis tool, providing deeper breadth and depth of results.
Results
The findings showed that after seeing each creative, people were 51% percent more likely to make a seat reservation than before. The data highlighted that gross personal income had a direct correlation with how each creative performed.
Crucially, the data revealed that the language used in the creatives was confusing to respondents. The results have since informed the second round of the creative process, where different versions of the updated campaign messages were tested.
