How to start a business by conducting your own primary research

Conduct a startup- RESEARCH in the FIRST place a KEY to success HUNTING sustainable growth Marketing 

“Whoever gets closer to the customer wins.”

Bernadette Jiwa - Founder, The Right Company

very recently- Feb 27, 2020, I have got one request to submit a consultancy proposal from one of my CITY- Chittagong Based BPO companies under a renowned group’s sister concern. CEO is a bachelor of computer science and an MBA! Two Indian advisors- one from the Reliance group!!

When I have gone through their online site visit, conducted an overview and site audit online. I was astonished by… only one monthly organic visit and Zero social media traffic. But they are maintaining a Facebook page!!!

I have got an interview with an American FITNESS TRAINER company as a Freelance Marketer Applicant (Commission-based). I have found so many issues to address before scheduling a Skype one – on – meeting. I have sent 8 FAQs to answer. The Owner is a TRUE and honest gentleman that he discloses the facts so very nice and wisely in detail answered my 8 questions one by one separately marked and stared.

He is supposed to thinking of a part-time job advertisement next. I have expressed my interest: finding his courtesy for the late response, honest detailed answers, and 90% autonomy of doing work that pleased me to conduct and paid a courtesy visit to 2 websites, 2 blogs, and FB, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram YouTube social media profiles to have looked all about the BIZ. Conducted an online site overview and Site audit…..which takes about 4 hours time to complete (For free)

Maintained all professional-looking website social media profiles but driving very poor organic and social media traffic to websites plus more…issues

I have compiled all my findings and sent an email report to this end to schedule a Skype meeting for discussion as a Business Development, Digital Marketing, and Sales LEAD- manager situation.

Both cases niche almost the same as well as Startups Business and Marketing Consultancy. Out of these two, I am thinking of myself starting my own online consultancy BABA HOME (experimental online Google Business (Free) has already been open). Now I am thinking of moving forward with the same to grow…. And this is the outcome…. As a case study

           

And yesterday 28 Feb 2020, out of intention and good faith I have conducted 

First of all and common practice, I have LEARNT through a training course on General Marketing:

“Talent borrows. Genius Steals!” is a quote attributed most often and it was my first lesson on the Digital Marketing Course tutorial. And it’s often used by people who shamelessly rip off others, in a glib attempt to justify their appalling behavior. Tweet thieves being a notable example. It's called Genius Steals because we believe ideas are new combinations…

So, those competitors have already been drive success in your niche, products, SEO, tags, Mention, plan, strategies whatever PLUS more... Search and copy/paste from them.... easy and add yours  

Second Tutorial that I have done in my Marketing Strategist internship with money Mouth Marketing very recently:  

Digital Market Research Blueprint- Driving Traffic  EPs (Execution Plan and exercise) Find the new market, Locate “SPY” on competitors and ad/Landing page copy based on data.

Market research can help startups understand where they should be placing their resources and time. It can tell you everything from how people perceive your company, as well as which features to drop or continue developing. And while there are plenty of ways to conduct market research, not every market research method is right for every situation.

Market research can help play a major role in developing your product, marketing, and overall business strategy. Understanding the different market research methods can be the difference between wasting months of engineering time or exceeding your ambitious revenue targets.

The 2 types of market research are eminent in general

All market research falls under two distinct categories: primary research and secondary research.

Primary research looks at any data you collect yourself (or someone you pay). It encompasses analyzing current sales, metrics, and customers. It also takes into account the effectiveness of current practices, while taking competitors into account.

Secondary research looks at data that has already been published by others. It includes reports and studies from other companies, government organizations, and others in your industry. Say for example:

Once Yahoo thinking of buying Google when Google was in trouble….

Now Google is the front runner…..and Yahoo?

While there are many ways to perform market research, most businesses use one or more of five basic methods: surveys, focus groups, personal interviews, observation, and field trials. The type of data you need and how much money you're willing to spend will determine which techniques you choose for your business.

There are several ways to categorize the various market research methods. The vast majority of techniques fit into one of six categories: (1) secondary research, (2) surveys, (3) focus groups, (4) interviews, (5) observation, or (6) experiments/field trials. ... The other five are all different flavors of primary research.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to conduct quick, effective market research without hiring an agency—something called lean market research. It’s easier than you might think, and it can be done at any stage in a product’s life cycle.

To show you how it’s done in the real world, I’ve included a market research

Why is market research so valuable?

Without research, it’s impossible to understand your users. Sure, you might have a general idea of who they are and what they need, but you have to dig deep if you want to win their loyalty.

Someone day I may go for writing another post on Deep down Research Next.

Here’s why research matters…

·         Obsessing over your users are the only way to win. If you don’t care deeply about improving user experience, you’ll lose potential customers to someone who does.

·         Analytics gives you the ’what,’ but research gives the ‘why.’

·         Research beats assumptions, trends, and so-called best practices. Have you ever watched your colleagues rally behind a terrible decision? Bad ideas are often the result of guesswork, emotional reasoning, death by best practices, and defaulting to the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion (HiPPO). By listening to your users and focusing on their customer experience, you’re less likely to get pulled in the wrong direction.

·         Research keeps you from planning in a vacuum. Your team might be amazing, but you and your colleagues simply can’t experience your product the way your customers do. Customers might use your product in a way that surprises you, and features that seem obvious to you might confuse them. Over planning and refusing to test your assumptions is a waste of time, money, and effort because you will likely need to make changes once your untested plan gets put into practice.
