Your business will not succeed just because you want it to succeed. Determining if there is a market for your products or services is the most critical item of planning. Once you decide on your product or service, you must analyze your market--a process involving interviewing competitors, suppliers and new customers.
Before you begin researching your market, however, you should take a brief, but close, look at your product or service from an objective standpoint. You should ask yourself the following questions:
-- Is this product or service in constant demand
-- How many competitors provide the same service or product
-- Can I create a demand for my product or service
-- Can I compete effectively in price, quality and delivery
—Can I price my product or service to assure a profit
Once you are satisfied that these preliminary questions are answered, move on to performing your research.

-- Provides a more accurate base for making profit assumptions.
-- Aids in the organization of marketing activities.
-- Assists in the development of critical short/mid-term goals.
-- Helps establish your market’s profit boundaries.
Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs fail to complete this critical section of their business plan. Collecting research data can be frustrating unless you have defined your goals and organized the collection and analysis process. To prevent this from happening, you must plan how you will collect, sort and analyze the information. Maintain a notebook and file in which to store, organize and retrieve data as needed.
