Or even if they don’t need them, they are convinced they want them. So a great product without any customers isn’t really great at all.
This is where marketing comes in. Marketers, whether in-house or hired on a contract basis, focus on products, pricing, placement, and promotions. Good decisions in all these areas require good research. Good research helps us understand the people we want to sell to, as well as the other options they may already have.
