The first thing is to know the difference between market research and market strategy. Market research is when you look at all aspects of a market. You do this by going into depth on a markets environment. You look into everything from what types of consumers are in a particular market to the competitors and even the market structure. You will also want to look into things such as the economic trends and the government regulations. Depending on how in depth you want to get you might even want to look into the financial piece of it along with the technological advances. Market strategy has to do with particular companies. For example some companies base their strategies on the market research such as how to get the attention of the consumers in their market. They may also use different strategies when it comes to their marketing on the internet and how they run their promotions.

The second thing is to know that different businesses have different ways they do both market research and market strategy. The reason for this is because every business is different and has different products to offer. They also have different types of consumers that are going to be purchasing their products. Because of this they have to find ways to attract their audiences by trying new things. This is why market research is so helpful. It can help pin point what types of consumers use their product and what type of interests they have. This will help the business to know what types of promotions they need to use along with how to advertise them and what wording to use. For example if your business sells to mostly the younger generations you probably want to advertise with lingo that is used today along with things that are "in" right now. Where as if your consumers are mostly middle age you will probably want to stay away from the lingo that teenagers are using these days. The consumers might not be able to understand what you are trying to get a crossed.

The third thing is to know that you can hire businesses to help you do both market research and market strategy. You will want to make sure that you do some shopping around before you set yourself on one company to use. You will also want to make sure that you ask for references. The reason why you want to ask for references is so that you can make sure that the company you are hiring can do the job they way you want it done. You will also want to make sure that they know what they are doing and are worth the money you will be paying them.
