Types of market research and what are the benefits?
The results of market research provide substantiation for your business case in the form of concrete advice on the feasibility of your idea or project. A concept or idea can go through many phases. At Markteffect , we Markteffect five phases:
1. Pre-concept phase
You suspect that there are opportunities in the market and would like to respond to them, but you are still uncertain about the exact wishes, needs, and expectations of the market. A needs assessment would be appropriate in this case.
2. Concept phase
You have an idea, but you don't know how to develop it further or which direction to take. Examples include testing a concept or conducting a stakeholder analysis.
3. Market potential phase
You have a concept and are unsure which market to focus on and what the potential reach is. This phase often involves Market exploration, segmentation research, and positioning research.
4. Product test
You have already developed a concept and defined your target group, but you still have no idea how many people will buy your product or visit your attraction (park). A product test could provide useful insights at this stage.
5. Financial feasibility phase
You have a clear idea of what your concept should entail, but you are still unsure about its economic feasibility. A spin-off and impact assessment could be a useful study in this regard.
