Market Study:

A thorough market study and time is required to identify the potential customers for your product or service.

The legwork will let you identify the loopholes, faults, and defects within your own product, which you might be missing. It will help in connecting with the customers and forming a bond.

Rivals’ Methods and Products:

Before you set foot in the market, there exists a huge customer base, which is being taken care of by your rivals. Unless you identify your rivals and figure out your rivals’ methods, you won’t be able to come out with a better product in the market.

Know your rivals’ strategies and methods and adopt the ones, you find helpful. This will help in developing a better product in the market, which indirectly will attract more customers.

Networking and Referrals:

Use your network in spreading the word about your product, let them use the free samples and give honest feedback, as well as to spread the word among their friends.

Ask your friends, relatives, and colleagues to use the reference of the product in their conversations during the gatherings or get together, this way the product will reach to some of the potential customers.

Advertisements and Marketing:

Advertisements through different media will help in letting the mass about the existence of your product.
