I was having trouble with a client’s product launch because I didn’t have a deep understanding of the market. I decided to do some market research to get a better idea of what was out there and who the competition was. After doing some research, I was able to identify a niche for the product and launch it successfully.
Here are the steps you need to follow to also get clarity, understanding, and differentiation:
1. Understand the market that you’re either in already or that you want to launch into.
2. See what products are out there, what the competition is doing, and what kind of language they’re using.
3. Decide how you can be different from the competition and have the impact you want to have.

Once you know what you need to learn, you can begin to formulate your research questions.
These questions should be specific and focused in order to get the most useful information. Once you have your research questions, you can begin to gather data.
This data can come from a variety of sources, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, and secondary research. Once you have collected your data, you can begin to analyze it and draw conclusions.
These conclusions can then be used to inform your marketing decisions.
