[TRIAL] Research of potential markets - outsourced
Testing out this concept: startups in growth/established phase have a stable offering and are looking for new applications of the same product (e.g. using podcasting editor as voice memo library, real-estate-less coworking in dinner-only restaurants), requiring research and planning.
In this trial, I'd collect information from you via a questionnaire, followed by a set of customized questions to be completed via email or video chat. Subsequently, with minimal additional time or effort from you, I would deliver a draft which can be used to triangulate the path of the research. From there, I deliver materials for review, with a summary bringing together the pattern/trends/opportunities noticed.
Besides the trial, I am also curious about other similar services you may know about. My thanks in advance!
Just came across @vgr's thread on a similar topic, which made me want to clarify intent here: the trial includes both market and trend research, as well as competition and alternative applications to existing offering, not simply for pre-launch concepts.
