If you’re an entrepreneur or working on developing a new product or service for your employer, you’re likely on the lookout for something new, or the next big thing. It’s something that can take many years to uncover – without the right tools.
But, by using market research and conducting your own purpose created survey, you can cut that time down a lot and get to work on the perfect niche market to suit your personal set of skills.
If you create a survey to discover a real consumer need that isn’t currently being met, questions you need to ask in your survey include:
- What do consumers think is missing from an existing product or service.
- Is an improvement or new product needed or would it just be ‘a nice-to-have’.
- Would they be willing to spend money on a product add-on or new item?
Once you have the answers to these – and other key questions – you’ll be better placed to make a decision on whether or not to push ahead with your new, niche ideas. Or, if you should go back to the drawing board.
