Market Research
● Develop a consumer research plan
● Analyze questions for the consumer
● Write a market research report
● Revenue
● Money (funding)
Types of interviews
● Validating the problem
○ if this app existed, would people use it? How often?
○ What currently fills that need?
○ Where is there a need for our app?
● Validating the solution
○ how much would people pay for your app?
○ Does your app match the customer’s lifestyle?
○ Does it fit?
○ Is it important for it to be cool?
○ Is it designed the right way? Know your target audience and see if it
would be good for them.
DO NOT DO THIS: DO NOT ASK IF THEY LIKE THE APP-NO LEADING QUESTIONS
Instead: ask open-ended questions
Preparing for the interview:
● Practise questions
○ make sure you understand them and others can too
● Figure out who to talk to and where they are
● How many do you need?
○ talk to as many people as you can
○ when you heard the same thing over and over again, you’ve got a
trend.
