Researching your market…

Many companies tend to bumble along continuing to do the same old thing year on year, with no substantial growth. In order to grow the business and become successful, a proactive approach must be adopted. Market research should be carried out by any company that is looking to expand and grow their business and profits. Market research can be used in many different ways. It can identify gaps in the market for your product/service, how your competitors are doing and can identify what your customers think about your product or service.

In most markets, it is essential to follow and keep an eye on your competitors. This can help a business keep the edge and stay one step ahead of their competitors, losing the edge could mean losing market share which can be very hard to gain back.

It is also very important to identify what your customers think of your product/service, if you do not research this you may never know and lose out on business. It is vital to get this right, as your customers are your future and keeping them happy is #1 priority.

The different types of research include:

Questionnaires
Interviews
Focus Groups
Phone interviews or questionnaires
