1) You’ll get to know your audience. What could potential customers be looking for from your company? What are their specific pains and preferences? How about their expectations regarding price, delivery and service? Once you have the answers to those and other questions, you can better tailor your ad copy and marketing content to meet your audience’s needs.
2) You can identify opportunities. Do you make assumptions about what prospective buyers want based solely on your experience with other companies? Market research can uncover real needs, emerging trends and industry-wide problems or frustrations. With that information, you can market specific targeted solutions that attract attention and buyers.
3) You’ll develop a better understanding of competitors. What unique practices have others in your industry implemented? Why do people buy from companies other than yours? How are their products better or their sales and marketing efforts more effective? Market research is the first step in analyzing your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses and then identifying your advantage.
