The modern world can feel unpredictable. It is increasingly difficult to keep up with trends, customer needs, popular opinions, and competitors. So, how can you keep your brand and products relevant to ensure you are meeting your customers’ needs?

The answer is to conduct market research. Market research helps you make informed business decisions. It involves systematically gathering, recording, and analysing data about customers, competitors, and the market, and turning this data into insight that can drive marketing strategies, product design and positioning, and communications strategies.

Social media is one of the most important channels to consider since it takes up a huge amount of people’s overall time online. Most consumers expect brands to be active on around three social media platforms, with Facebook topping the list.

Each social media platform appeals to a different audience and is capable of different forms of content delivery. You need to make sure you select the right platform for you. Think about who uses each platform and whether it fits in with your objectives. Research to find out where your target audience is. Remember, you need to go to them rather than expecting them to come to you.
