Using market research to understand the target market and make informed decisions
Market research is the process of identifying information about your target industry as well as your target customers.
When starting a new business, it will help you to answer the following questions:
- Demand: Is there a desire or need for your product or service?
- Competition: Are there already businesses offering similar products or services?
- Target audience: Who are your potential customers?
- Market size: How big is the market for your product or service?
- Pricing: What are customers willing to pay for your product or service?
Market research methods can be divided into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary methods involve getting in touch with customers directly or through a third-party firm, while secondary methods involve exploring existing data sources.
Some commonly used primary methods are surveys, interviews, focus groups, observation, and field experiments. Surveys are the most popular method as they allow quick and easy data collection and analysis. Secondary methods include internal reports, external data, government records, research papers, and the media.
