For any business, market research helps to decide on the product or service. At times, a marketer or an entrepreneur may feel or believe that the new product or service is useful for the customers. But the research may show that the customers do not require that product and that they are meeting their needs with a certain competitor’s product so far. Similarly, good research strives to provide options for the successful introduction of new products and services. This causes or makes the market entry of a new product or a service less risky.
Marketing research helps in ascertaining and understanding competitor information such as their market network, customer focus, their identity and the scale of operations. This assists in survival and certain issues, leaving behind the competition. Market research permits discovery approaches that help in maximizing profits.
