WHAT IS MARKET RESEARCH

 

There’s more to understanding your customers in today’s complex world than simply gauging their need for your products. The rise globalisation and choice available, the internet’s effect on brand experiences mean that your market research, service and audience definition must delve deeper into people’s emotions, intentions and identities.

A successful market research project will help you answer the following questions:

Is there a market for my products and services?
Who is my target audience within it?
What is my potential customer looking for?
Why do my products and services appeal, and why do they not?
What is the most effective way of marketing them?
Who is my competition and what are their strengths?

Whether you’re planning to open a new business, launch a new product, service or advertising campaign, or trying to improve any of those, research is an essential part of your business or organisation’s decision-making process and future success. This is because it’s often less difficult for a business to replicate past successes than it is to develop an entirely untested approach. Researching your company’s strengths, pitfalls, market and consumer base will give you a targeted approach, driving your business to sure success.The most innovative companies rely on extensive information about consumer needs, market trends and management practices when developing a business strategy.
