Analyze This ... Market Research Made Easy By: Georgia SBDC
One of the most important steps in starting a new business is conducting a thorough market analysis. This analysis will serve as a basis for a marketing plan and also should support your sales projections. Market analysis and research are critical to the success of any business venture, but it seems to offer one of the greatest challenges for clients involved in a start up.
Simply stated, the market analysis or market research should yield answers to these very basic questions. Is there demand for my product or service? Who will buy my product or service? What price will they be willing to pay? Where are customers located and how many of them are there? Is the market over saturated? Who will be my competition?
