Do you base your business and marketing strategy decisions on assumptions or customers’ historical behaviour? If so, this could be costing you sales, money, connection with your brand followers and also making you miss great opportunities. But how do you then tune in with the very people your brand should be all about? If only you could get into your target audience’s minds and really see for yourself what they think, that would definitely help, wouldn’t it?
Well, you can do that.
Market research is the simplest way to get to the bottom of an issue, to find out what your audience thinks of your brand and of what you offer, to determine new trends, to test your new interpretations of your offer directly with your market, to improve on what you do and how you do it and be totally in tune with the people that actually get your business to exist: your customers. Without them, how would you survive? And so, doesn’t it make sense to listen to them?
At Happy we see market research as a friend in business. And, if you think of your own friends, you’ll know that no friend is the same. The same goes for market research.
And although budgets and resources are undeniably stretched now, with many businesses facing challenges to stay afloat, understanding your customers and target market is even more important. People’s attitudes, spending power and interests have changed a lot in the last couple of years, and these changes more than likely have affected what your brand means to your audience. Only the businesses that have their finger on the pulse of their consumer can survive.

More about Social MediaMarketing is bit like those huge, swirling flocks of starlings you see from time to time. Individually your brochure, email, ad, meme or gif may not change the world.
