Research for Existing Companies

Market Research is essential for all businesses, not least in an uncertain economic climate, during international expansion or when launching new products or services. For established businesses, research should not just be about surveying your current customers or when conducting standard customer service research.

Perceived cost, time restraint, lack of knowledge about the importance of objective research among other reasons can often lead to growing businesses neglecting market research, at their peril.

Who? Established and Growing businesses! What? New product or service launches or enhancing existing product and service offerings.

Research is an ongoing process, constantly adding value to your business plan, products and services, ensuring you have relevant information on market trends and potential customers needs and wants. Why? With increasing competition, understanding your potential customers can help you realize new opportunities within the market. Market research is absolutely essential for entering new markets, as without understanding the markets needs and wants it is impossible to develop a business plan to match.

So what type of research could established businesses conduct?

    Do my potential customers like the product / service design and look?
    What price range are customers willing to pay?
    What do potential customers like or dislike about competitor products or services?
    Where would my target market be likely to purchase my products?

Bringing new insight into your company can foster innovation and bring valuable figures to future business plans. Non-existing clients may bring new ideas or offer insight into competitors operations and bring reassurance to when launching a new product or service.

Are you launching a new product or service? Targeting a new market?
