However, most importantly, it gives you an idea about the things that the target customers require, which are unavailable in the current scenario. That is where your job starts. Meet the customers and competitors. Understand the system, highs and lows of the marketplace and plan your way to success.
3. Plan
Once you are done with targeting the plus and minus points, your market research is about to get over. Well not before the crucial step of determining the target market.
