Market research helps while launching a new product:-
Prior to product development, a Market Research should be conducted on all aspects including idea development, product development cycle, marketing and sales. At the end of the market research, you would be able to answer the following questions: Will customers buy the proposed product? How can it be used by the potential customers? Which features should be added to benefit the customers? What should be the price? How to handle marketing and sales? The market research may suggest you that the product is not useful for the customers. For instance, suppose a sales group proposes a new product, but your company is not sure about the allocation of resources to engineering design.
You conduct a survey among customers regarding the new product’s features and functions. And at the end of survey, you conclude that the customers do not need the proposed features. Thus, this survey helps you to avoid a significant financial loss in engineering resources and also suggests you how to modify the existing products according to customer needs.
