Copy testing is used to ensure that the advertising is well received and that no surprises will surface after the ads are released. Copy testing reduces the chances that an ineffective ad will jeopardize your brand or company image.
Copy testing is usually conducted as a large scale quantitative research study where the target audience is exposed to the advertising.
