Consumer Hands-On Evaluation

	Nothing is more powerful than hands-on experience by a consumer with a product when it is under evaluation. Based upon that fact we put a number of products we currently are slated to evaluate at the mercy of consumers in a hands-on evaluation where anything goes. The information to follow will explore the responses from the participants in our spontaneous hands-on consumer evaluation of the products available for their review.

	When it comes to consumer hands-on evaluation, what a better location than at the ASTRA 2011 show in Anaheim CA?  ASTRA had a game night which provided the perfect location to test Reverse Charades with plenty of willing participants! The short version to define the response was the noise coming from all the laughter, cackling and who knows what else was louder than anywhere else in the room!

	Reverse Charades made this segment of our evaluation so simple and easy to complete. In the game night at ASTRA 2011 which was mentioned earlier, the game participants changed tables roughly every 20 minutes or something to that effect. It was amazing how with every single group that played Reverse Charades, the level of laughter was off the scale!  An added point to make note of is how that everyone in each group played the game. What I personally found of interest was how people who were quite reserved and quiet when they first began their play, left the game when done, laughing and social as ever!  You seldom find games that have such and incredible level of influence for change in people.  No matter what the demeanor of a person when they first began to play, they soon after were smiling and laughing like you would would never expect or even imagine. After reviewing all notes, feedback forms, and still shots from the game night, Reverse Charades had clearly pushed the right buttons in every respect and passed this segment of our evaluation with the highest of recommendation to retailers, distributors, and consumers at large.
