Market Research & Development
is the process of systematic gathering, recording and analyzing of data about
customers, competitors and the market. Market research can help create
 a business plan,
launch a new product or service,
fine tune existing products and services,
expand into new markets etc.
It can be used to determine which portion of the population will purchase
the product/service, based on variables like:
age,
gender,
location
income level.
It can be find out what market characteristics your target market has.
With market research, companies can learn more about current and potential
customers.
Market research is discovering what people:
want,
need,
believe.
how they act.
Once that research is complete it can be used to determine how
to market your specific product.
Market research involves collecting, recording and making sense of all the available information
which will help a business unit to understand its market. Market research sets out to answer the following questions:
Who makes up the target audience?
What do they want?
When do they need it?
Where does it sell best?
How can it be taken to them?
Why do they want/need it?
What are our competitors doing?
How is our market changing?
Market research helps firms to plan ahead rather than to guess ahead. In
business, demand is always changing and therefore it is essential to know how things are changing. Market research requires
a special form of skill and therefore market research companies are often employed because they have the necessary experience
and also because market research takes up a lot of time.
Methods used in marketing research Data gathering involves collecting as much
information as possible about the market, usually before any further steps are taken. It relies on desk research and field
research. Data is divided into primary and secondary categories. Primary data are collected in the field. Secondary data are
gathered from all the material that is at present available on the subject, and is always studied first when doing desk research.
Whether your marketplace is your local neighborhood, the city, or the world, marketing
provides the foundation for growth and stability. Business success must be the stated goal of the business owner.
Achieving success takes planning and execution, marketing refers to the ongoing positioning of your company.
It includes the three elements of segmentation
targeting and positioning the company.
Strong market position means power,
which in turn means profitability.
.
The purpose
for segmenting a market is to allow your marketing/sales program to focus on the subset of prospects that are "most likely"
to purchase your offering. If done properly this will help to insure the highest return for your marketing/sales expenditures.
Depending on whether you are selling your offering to individual consumers or a business, there are definite differences in
what you will consider when defining market segments.
From products and services to communication between
your company and customers, your market position counts. To create a strong market position, many elements must be in place.
They include defining the marketplace,
the attraction of customers,
current customer expectations,
strategic ordering of product
judgments on the product line
how much the customer will want,
