Small Business Market Research
Small Business Marketing and Market Plan Development in Indianapolis, Indiana & South Florida including Fort Myers and Naples
Small business market research is a key tool that small and mid-size companies can use to give them a competitive advantage. The main benefits of small business market research are that it is designed to yield important information from which you can build prospect lists and it is affordable. It makes little sense to extol the virtues of small business market research if the majority of small and mid-size companies could afford this critical tool. MWS Research conducts affordable small business market research that provides highly-targeted lists of qualified prospects and other types of critical information needed for strategic planning.
Small business marketing requires an understanding of the sales process in small and mid-size companies, as well as the buying processes of their targeted prospects. The small business market research we conduct at MWS Research runs the gamut from general business and competitive intelligence to full-fledged telephone surveys designed to determine specific needs within targeted companies.
Small Business Market Research
MWS Research uses small business market research to help our small and mid-size clients establish a profile of their “best customer” and their “best niche markets”. We then develop targeted strategies to reach the prospects that fit those profiles and to communicate the benefits and advantages of our clients’ products and services. Small business market research helps save our clients considerable financial resources because their marketing budgets are aimed directly at those prospects most likely to need what they sell. Our motto is:
