Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 27 MARKET : Market research and how you can proceed to find out about your particular market. 1. What it is you need to know about the market. Define the bit (or segment) of the market you are specifically going for, • WHO WILL BUY? (Who Will Be Your Costumers?) • WHY WILL THEY BUY? • HOW MUCH WILL THEY BUY? 2. How to carry out the research. • HOW TO DO THE RESEARCH looks at the nitty-gritty of carrying out the market research needed. How is it done? What sources do you use? Are some more important than others? Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 28 MARKET : • WHO WILL BUY? (Who Will Be Your Costumers?) which are your customers and what are their common characteristics? • WHY WILL THEY BUY? helps you form your sales proposition to your target market. What are the main features and benefits which your potential customers are looking for? Can your product supply them? This process helps you to define your service or product specifically, and in relation to the competing products, so that your product is differentiated from the runof-the-mill. • HOW MUCH WILL THEY BUY? leads into how you can utilize the information about market and potential customers to make realistic sales forecasts Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 29 MARKET : ( Who Will Buy ) • Basically, you should be looking for a niche in your proposed market (market segmentation) which allows you to charge a reasonable price and so maintain reasonable profit margins. To achieve this, your product needs to be clearly distinguishable from the competition (product differentiation). • Once you have sorted out the groups, look at the competitive position, you need to be able to offer customers some additional benefit in your service or product, and it must be a benefit they want. • For a small firm, a strong attraction of using this market segment approach to sales is that you may be able to achieve a dominant position in that segment. Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 30 MARKET : ( Who Will Buy ) • If your business is on a smaller scale, it still makes sense to look for a niche to exploit, because of the advantages it offers in being able to keep your prices above rock-bottom level. • There are several different ways of grouping people. These include looking at potential customers : – by examining facts about their life, such as where they live or the kind of work they do. Or – how they behave when they are deciding to buy a product, such as whether price makes a substantial difference to their buying decision. – Use the step-by-step analysis to help you sort out groups or segments. Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 31 MARKET : ( Who Will Buy ) MARKET GROUPING • Identify a group of people with similar tastes in your target market does not necessarily mean that you have unlocked a source of sales for your product. • To be useful, a market grouping needs to have certain characteristics. – The segment needs to be big enough to give you the living you require. You must also be able to differentiate it from other groups, so that its size can be measured. – The segment must be easy to reach. There is no point in selecting a target group which is difficult to reach. If it is, you will experience problems getting your message across or supplying the product because of location. – The group must have common features which actually lead to similar buying decisions.

Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 35 MARKET : ( Why Will They Buy ) • find out what your customer wants. • What are the benefits and features of a service or product which your target group rates most highly?

Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 36 MARKET : ( Why Will They Buy ) • By adjusting your service/product in this way to meet the wants and needs of your target market, you are trying to establish that you have at least one unique feature which your competitors don't have. • It would be a mistake to believe that buyers act in a rational way, comparing products and choosing their purchase on the basis of some organized assessment. Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 37 MARKET : ( How Much Will They Buy ) • Estimate of how much you are going to sell and when that is likely to happen. You need this data to formulate your sales and cash forecasts. The level of sales you can make over the years depends on: • the market size • the market structure • the market share you can establish (and the competition you face) • the market trends, that is, whether it is growing, static or declining • the investment in time and money to sell your product. Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 38 MARKET : ( How Much Will They Buy ) MARKET SIZE • This could be either its monetary value or the number of units sold in the market.

Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 45 Summary 1. Market research which is undirected is not very useful; it needs to concentrate on who will buy, why will they buy and how much will they buy. 2. It is much easier to sell a product which meets some already perceived need rather than to try to educate a market to buy a new, perhaps revolutionary, product or service. 3. Look for groups within your target market which you think you can sell to, either because no one is currently selling to them or because you can adapt your product to meet their needs. 4. Use the step-by-step guide to help you identify a suitable market group. Dr A. Riza Wahono : Product Development “ Pengembangan Bisnis ” Modul 3 46 Summary 5.
