Why is Market Research So Important?

Market research is critical when you are launching a product, offering services and competing in the business world. Market research arms you with relevant information that informs your decision making and helps you grow. 

At Bold x Collective, we want to piece together how your digital assets and marketing initiatives synergize and impact one another. The goal is to uncover how efficiently and cost-effectively past and current marketing and brand growth campaigns have performed. By monitoring and tracking components of your brand’s digital presence along with those of your competitors, you’re able to better understand your audience, market and industry in a deeper way, giving you a competitive edge.

Below we discuss some of the reasons why we highly recommend investing in marketing research and how it can help you grow your business.

You understand your customers better

Do you know your ideal customer persona? Do you know who will  buy your product? How often will your customer buy the product? What do they need? What do they want? What do they expect? 

The more answers you have to all these questions, the more it will help you hone in on your target audience. This can allow you to meet your customers’ needs more effectively than your competitors. 

Market research will help you find your ideal customer by filtering through age, gender, location and income. This assists you with creating effective marketing strategies, ideal pricing, your market size and most importantly, what triggers your customer to purchase your product or service.

Testing your product thoroughly 

Before putting out a new product, we always recommend a test. All your business decisions should be tested before releasing it to your target audience, helping you with saving time and expenses, and of course, preventing you from delivering a bad product into the marketplace. 

With the right marketing research, you will find out the correct approach to take when marketing your product and this will also help you figure out what problem you are solving for your consumer. Solving problems for customers is how you create value for them.

You gain knowledge on your competitors 

As a business owner, you want all the customers you can get; you want to outperform your competitors. If you are losing customers to your competitors, the reasons your competitors could be because firstly, they have most likely been around longer and secondly, they are on top of their research skills. In order to stay ahead in the game, you need to do the same - acquire top notch market research. 

Market research will help you find the weaknesses in your competitor's approach which can help you gain more customers by filling in those gaps. You can also learn what performed the best and worst for your competitor and use that to create your own unique, creative strategy. Knowing more about your competitor will help you craft a strong, sustainable strategy. 

Business growth

Market research helps you understand your customer demands which help you attract more business opportunities, plan a strong marketing campaign, prevent losses and keep track of your competitors. With the right marketing research, a business can follow current trends and use that advantage to reach out to their target audience, whether it is on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other platforms.    

The process of market research can help you with reducing risks of losing money, predicting pitfalls that can occur in the future and more. With marketing research, you will create a cost-effective strategy for your business.   

Conclusion

As we have discussed, market research is very important for your business, whether you are providing a product or a service. You get important information that can help you identify and analyze your customers, your market and your competitors.
