As previously discussed, every brand recognized or remembered by consumers originates from a tangible product or service. Therefore, introducing a product or service that meets the true needs and desires of consumers is crucial in building a successful brand. To avoid the risks of launching a product or service that the market does not accept, market research plays an essential role by providing deep insights throughout each phase of product development, from initial ideas to commercialization.  

• Idea Evaluation: The genesis of every product or service starts with an idea. This idea may stem from creativity or unmet market needs. Market research not only helps you uncover these hidden needs as a foundation for innovation but also assists you in assessing the feasibility of these ideas. Through evaluations and discussions, you can gain a deep understanding of market demands, identify any gaps, and creatively enhance your initial ideas. This helps you adjust and refine your concepts to better align with consumer trends, ensuring a higher likelihood of success and minimizing risks when launching the product or service.    
   
• Prototype Testing: Transforming an idea into a tangible product or service is a critical transition in the development process. It's important to carefully measure and test all aspects of a product or service. Collecting feedback from target user groups through discussions and real-world testing experiences enables you to pinpoint any deficiencies in the product or service that need to be addressed. Market research helps you refine and improve product features, sometimes confirming whether your product or service truly meets the needs and desires of consumers to minimize risks and ensure a successful launch.    
   
• Packaging Evaluation: Packaging is not just a protective cover for your product or service but also represents the brand image and directly influences consumer purchasing behavior. From group discussions that guide packaging design and messaging to evaluating designs, sizes, and materials, market research can help you generate ideas and review areas for improvement. Choosing the right packaging design ensures better market reception and enhances brand recognition and visibility on shelves.  

In summary, market research is a solid foundation for smart product and service development. By leveraging market research to analyze concepts, test prototypes, and evaluate packaging or service experiences, businesses can enhance the success rate of their products and services. This closer connection with users promotes sustainable growth and elevates your business in the competitive market.
