The key ingredients to an
effective market research study are:
- Design and implement the market
research study
|
Set clear and definite objectives |
|
Consider the best method for gathering
facts as completely as possible |
|
Make sure your results are as unbiased
as possible |
- Use both primary and secondary
sources of information in your market research
|
Primary sources are research gathered
firsthand: surveys, focus groups |
|
Secondary sources are research gathered
by others and cited in published documents |
- Form a hypothesis and test it
- Develop a questionnaire
- Find out about the competitive
market
|
The market: growth and trends
|
|
Competition: size, market share, standing
and reputation |
|
Your customers: demographics, location,
buying patterns |
- Do something with the results
|
Market research is a waste of time and
money if it is not used to make a better plan, service -
product - in the future. |
