Prior to integrating a business into whichever landscape that may be, it is important to understand and identify current demographics, as well as what the consumer base is looking for. Attaining future goals for a company is heavily reliant on how well they can understand their core customers and what competitors have to offer. 

Many companies who are well equipped with an understanding of their market and consumer demographic will be more successful in selling their brand.

So how can you tackle market research? Well, there are multiple avenues to take when researching for your specific market. Before beginning your research, make sure to have a set marketing plan to effectively connect with your audience. This is important to understand when gathering information, recognizing competitors, and developing business goals.

Depending on what type of information you’d like to gather, here are some ways to go about it.

  1. Brand Research
    How loyal are customers to your brand? How do customers feel about your brand? What qualities are associated with your brand? What is the customer relationship like?
  2. Customer Segmentation Research
    This is an important step for new businesses as it helps organize the customer base into specific groups, allowing for targeted marketing campaigns.
  3. Consumer Research
    To appeal to consumers, understanding what motivates their buying patterns and interests in a certain segment will allow for more carefully curated branding to draw in customers.
  4. Competitor Research
    Understanding the competition and how well they are selling their product or service can help a company advance past competitors. What are their strengths and weaknesses, sales revenue, or how do they conduct marketing campaigns?
  5. Marketing Evaluation Campaign
    After launching a campaign or post, analyzing the interaction with your post will allow you to make changes or understand what types of posts garner more engagement. Make changes as needed to content to develop posts and campaigns that users will favor.
  6. Product Development
    Before launching a product, make sure the product is directly connected to consumer needs. A product that has had development research will likely have an easier time instilling new features which consumers desire.
  7. Usability Testing
    Based on how consumers use your product. One of the most valuable ways to get insight on your products is through customers who can answer specific questions about which elements worked well and which did not.
