3 Ways Market Research can Help Build a Flawless Product Strategy
Most product failures and lack of customer adoption occur due to the lack of accurate data and research about the product, market, and target consumers. This is a consequent effect of building a product that customers do not need or does not meet customer expectations. An effective market research strategy before product development can help businesses early in the product lifecycle to test value propositions and identify ideal customer segments, and also to hone the products usability and branding. A product strategy that is undertaken on the basis of adequate market research will play a key role in avoiding costly mistakes.
