Market Research: An Important Tool That Can’t be Ignored

by Fusion 360 Studios Digital Marketing Specialists

When it comes to the world of business, it seems that nearly every company wants to be able to sell their product or service to literally everyone on the planet. And while Coca-Cola and McDonald’s are doing their best to make that a reality, it’s highly unlikely that even they will be able to accomplish that lofty goal. Like it or not, most products will only appeal to a select portion of the population, and these are the people that need to be reached. As any good advertising agency is able to inform their clients, the true path to success begins with market research to determine who those people are and how to best reach them.


Market research can be conducted for a wide range of reasons, but perhaps the most common (and important) is in determining who a company’s potential customers are and in understanding these customers. Does your product only appeal to elderly people in Utah? Or is there a wider market? Research can help determine not only who a product should be targeted to, but also how it should be marketed.


Understanding one’s customers is of vital importance, especially in today’s digital marketplace. With content marketing becoming the dominant focus for many an advertising agency, knowing what will best appeal to potential audiences is vital for a campaign to have any success. After all, it’s not much good to know who you should target with your marketing efforts if you don’t do anything that will appeal to them.


Market research helps businesses from Utah to the East Coast develop several aspects of their overall strategy, including branding, product distribution and pricing, as well as whether to expand or diversify one’s business. Research can also be used to help solve potential problems and identify new business opportunities.


Businesses who are unsure where to begin with their marketing research can employ the services of an advertising agency to develop, conduct and analyze the research. Regardless of the issue that needs to be addressed, combining third-party and firsthand research results can often lead to new insights that can make all the difference for a company’s success.


Research is especially valuable for new companies. Small startups in Utah and across the nation have tapped into marketing success by first conducting research to better understand the needs and desires of their potential customers. Whatever a company’s current needs are, it is almost guaranteed that market research can help ensure that the right steps are taken to guarantee success.
