TURF Study
A TURF (Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency) study is a quantitative research methodology that helps brands identify the optimal combination of products, features, or messages to maximize reach and appeal within their target audience. Conducted through online quantitative studies, TURF studies provide actionable insights to guide product launches, portfolio optimization, and marketing strategies.
What Is a TURF Study?
TURF analysis evaluates how well different combinations of offerings appeal to a broad audience. It focuses on maximizing unduplicated reach—ensuring that the largest possible number of consumers find something they like. For example, a TURF study might test multiple flavor or product variations to determine the combination that satisfies the widest segment of the market.
​
By leveraging online quantitative studies, TURF studies enable fast and cost-effective data collection from large, diverse audiences, delivering results that are both reliable and scalable.
