Market research tips to develop your company: Market research done right, wrong or not done at all does make the difference between a solid profitable business, a lucky business that fails after the first bad market situation or businesses that fail from the start. Market research is very important for businesses to mark and ping their target customers and increase their profits. This research also helps firms to figure out marketing and advertising fundamentals such as value propositions, tag lines, pricing, metrics and other.
Bad market research or lack of market research can be very costly. If you target on market segment but design a product that fits outside of that segment you end up with a big failure. Like, for example, Arch Deluxe burger from McDonald’s. The target market was grownups, and market research had indicated that adults wanted a burger designed for them. One potential problem may have been that the adults surveyed did not fit the real McDonald’s market. That mistake was very costly.
A solid first step in market research should be analyzing the viability of your business idea in a geographical location through an in-depth analysis of various factors, including the estimated outreach of your business, client demographics, current local competitors and customer traffic.

The strategic goal is a long term objective that is accomplished with various combinations of tactical goals & steps. Strategy and tactics are just like the relationship between Branding and Marketing. A Brand pinpoints the direction and the objective of a company. It is the destination that a business is heading towards while Marketing is all the necessary steps to get to that point. This is similar to the analogy of war. We use strategy to win a war, we use tactics to win a battle. While every battle requires different tactics, it all works together to fulfill the same strategy. Winning war requires consideration about the supplies, politics, infrastructure, foods, security, morale, finance, military, civilians, propaganda of the entire clan for a course of 10 to 20 years, while battle only focuses on the tactics to win a specific battle base on the current environment which may include, the type of landscape, the weather, the armies etc. See more details on the Quantasphere blog.
