Market Research

What Is Market Research?

The concept of market research, also known as “marketing research”, refers to a process that we can say is determining the applicability of a new service or product through research conducted directly with potential customers. Market research allows a business to learn by exploring the target market and to get ideas and feedback from consumers about their interest in the product or service.

This type of research can be conducted within the company, by the company itself, or by a different company, which is an expert in market research and has a good understanding of the business. Market research focuses on a particular product or service to determine how the target audience will buy it. This also includes gathering information for market segmentation and product differentiation purposes, which can be used to get advertising efforts right or to understand and identify which features are considered to be of higher priority to the consumer. In order for a company to complete its market research process, it needs to accomplish various tasks. In addition to these duties, companies are also required to gather information about the market sector they are examining. The business must analyze and interpret the emerging data to determine the existence of any model or relevant data point that it can use in the decision-making process.

What Are The 4 Types Of Marketing Research?

There are 4 different methods that are widely used and very basic in market research. If we explain what these methods are:

Surveys:

We can say that surveys are a qualitative research method that asks the participants a series of open or closed-ended questions of short length, on the basis of being sent via a screen survey or e-mail.

Interviews:

In short, interviews are one-on-one interviews with members of your business’s target market. It’s always best to be able to meet face-to-face to get things done in more depth and detail, but if face-to-face meeting isn’t possible, videoconferencing is a solid second option.

Focus groups:

We can say that the concept we call focus groups is that a business brings together people who fit its target market in a very selective way. A well-trained moderator will lead a conversation well in a way that is relevant to the product, user experience, and/or marketing message to gain deeper insights.

Observation:

During a typical customer observation session, someone in your business takes notes as they watch, as an ideal user interacts with their product or a similar product from a competitor.

What Are The 4 Main Purposes Of Market Research?

A quality market research has 4 different objectives. Let’s talk about each of these purposes:

Business Decisions:

Of course, there may be situations where your organization needs to make a critical decision on a very important issue. Whenever you experience such times, you can make the most successful business decisions if you have enough information about your market, your competition, and the industry as a whole. However, the lack of information, especially the inadequacy and lack of market research, can do great harm to a company when making an important business decision because it may be based on outdated and/or irrelevant information. If this situation occurs, naturally, the business may be adversely affected.

Fundraising from investors:

When you have any new idea for a business or a new product, one of the biggest steps to take is to raise funds from investors. Market research is functional so that you can demonstrate to investors that you are researching concretely so you can learn more about the industry, current or potential competition, and above all, whether your idea will solve an existing problem in the market.

Identifying new business opportunities:

It is critical for all businesses to recognize that the subject of market research is not just about learning about trends and consumer behavior, but much more than that. Identifying opportunities using the information provided to you in this context can enable you to find new revenue streams for your organization.

Avoiding failures at work:

The vast majority of people working in businesses think of market research as proactive, for example: it helps you enter a new market and/or plays a critical role in the development of a new product. However, we can say that business intelligence also serves an important purpose in reducing the risk. Sometimes the research we are talking about help a business decide not to proceed with a decision and avoid pitfalls.

• Reading published trade journals
• Contacting business organizations to ask specific questions about a specific topic
