All successful businesses need to have a close understanding of potential and existing customers and the market-place they work in.
This understanding allows you to target customers, sell effectively, compete with other suppliers and spot new opportunities. Performing market research on potential customers and your competitors will help you to gain this vital knowledge.
You can build a picture of general trends using published market information – from free government statistics and data to paid-for market reports from commercial providers. Your own contacts and sales records can also be a great resource.
You can add to your knowledge and expertise by using field research- from a range of surveys, discussions and product tests – to investigating customers’ attitudes and examining questions specific to your business.
