Check the competition. Are they missing something you can capitalize on? What can you do better than they can? Are you clients in need of something nobody else is offering?

As stick is to a blind person, MR is to Marketing people.

Research helps is every possible way to turn product into a brand. Before launching any brand, MR helps to find of the prospects of the product category. After launching it helps to generate data from Target Customer Regarding their likings for the category & especially for their Brand. It’s costly but it helps marketer to know about customer preferences & market offerings. If marketer follows with sincerity the break even can be achieved with much ease as compared to not following.

MR provides different views to look at the problem.

help to reform

idea posted by Anudeep Khemariya Sales Executive/Officer, Lebara Mobile Ltd

there are so many benefits of market research for instance if any company is planning to launch any new product its better to get a response before they launch it into the market directly because sometime even after spending a huge amount on promotions as well as having unique features consumer can refuse the product , appropriate market research gives you the chance to save your product from this downfall. be it you do research in house among your employees or as a sample to consumer through their feedback company can come to know their shortcomings and reform accordingly so its always good to do market research .

Help understand things better

idea posted by Anna George Web Analyst, NichePro Consulting LLC
Research helps you understand things much better than we assume things to be. It helps in better planning and conclusion. Market research can be done in two ways - Primary Research and Secondary Research. Secondary research is all about collecting data available in internet. Primary research is a kind of data collection through direct surveys, meetings, brain storming, interviews etc. A proper amount of R & D before we do anything would definitely lead in better results.

Identifies your standing in the market place

idea posted by Jaygopal Raghavan Marketing Manager, Landmark Group

Good market research helps you in identifying your place in the market and also aids in showing you the way forward by identifying the grey areas. MR can also help you in listening to what your customers want and redesigning your products accordingly. One of the best examples that come to my mind is Godrej Refrigerators - after continuous MR they came out with EON range of refrigerators that proved to be an instant hit and takes on its korean competitors heads on.
