- Market Research & Intelligence

This record describes an assignment CamdenLogic is structured to run. It is not an account of work carried out for a named organisation. Related to Market Research & Intelligence.
- 01
Define the market
The territory, category and buyer are stated narrowly enough to be researched, and the decision the note has to serve is written down.
- 02
Compile the competitive picture
Competitors, positions, pricing shape and public claims are recorded, with sources kept so the register can be checked.
- 03
Gather demand evidence
Interviews, desk research and, where the question needs it, a survey to a defined population establish whether demand exists and on what terms.
- 04
State the entry conditions
We set out what the business would need in place to serve the market, and what would have to be true for entry to be worth the commitment.
