Customer and Market Evaluation

Why do you need a customer and market evaluation?

A customer and market evaluation is needed because it reduces risk and improves decision making before you invest time or money. First it helps you understand who your customers really are. You learn their needs, problems, buying behavior, and willingness to pay. Without this, you risk building a product or service that people do not want or value.

Below are a couple of reasons why every company needs customer and market evaluation:

• Understand real customer needs and buying behavior
• Check if there is enough demand and market size
• Identify competitors and market gaps
• Improve pricing, positioning, and value proposition
• Reduce risk before investing time or money
