Page 5: Market Research : Do It Yourself

Things can get out of hand easily when you are bombarded by the thousands of information available.

Keeping a clear objective helps to keep you straight on track.

Tips!Using 5 Hs 1 W (how,

why, what, when,

where, who) is a good

way to start.

Your product is not an ultimate solution to all problems in this world (yet), so knowing the final conclusion

you want to have allows you to

focus on only what you need to

know.

Field Research

Desk Research

Page 8: Market Research : Do It Yourself

DESK RESEARCH

Desk research involves looking for existing and available data, whether it is on the Internet, newspaper,

magazine, or databases.

It is easier and less costly.Existing companies can do desk research using their

internal database that contains information of how the market has changed and how the company had adapted

to that.Keep an open mind and follow up on as many leads as

possible. Avoid restricting your vocabulary to terms like ‘market

research’, ‘statistics’ if you can as they may give a limited view of the whole window.

FIELD RESEARCH

This involves communicating directly to customers and getting an uncut respond from them. This method is

more costly, so this is usually done when you need more than what desk research can give you.

However, it is still worth the effort because you can customize the method to get a result that is more

relevant and useful to your objective.To do this, the method must be arranged to collect the

appropriate response. It can be on people’s perspective (Opinion), reasoning

(Motivation), or statistics (Measurement).

SIDE NOTE

New business ideas are coming out more now as people change their lifestyle and beliefs. Sometimes

these new ideas doesn’t sit well with the old thinking and you may find more opposing opinions

than agreeing ones. Not because they don’t exist but they are not there for you to find, as the

conventional style of researching does not suit what you are looking for.

This is when conducting your own market research can help you out. There is no exact way to finding certain information. Our info here only serves as a

guidance, so feel free to adapt it yourself, and keeping in mind what you truly want to look for.

Remember, if you can’tfind it does not mean it doesn’t exist!
