പണമില്ലാതെ മാർക്കറ്റ് റിസർച്ച്: സംസാരം, പൊതു ലിസ്റ്റിംഗുകൾ, നിങ്ങൾ തന്നെ ചോദിക്കുന്ന വില.
How to do market research without money: use what is already public and what people will tell you if you ask plainly. You cannot outsource judgement, but you can skip paid panels until the decision is large.
A free stack
- Ten conversations with target buyers. Ask what they paid last time.
- Google Maps and search for who already ranks and what they claim.
- IndiaMART, Amazon, or local catalogues for price bands. See comparison tools.
- Government or association pages for licence rules.
- Your own trial quotes so you learn the objections.
Keep the notes honest
Write the words they used. Do not upgrade “maybe later” into demand. Compare the pattern with market health.
When free is not enough
Spend a little, as in low-cost research, when you need a sample, a trip, or a professional view of tax and licensing. Still validate before a lease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is free research reliable?
It is reliable for a first decision if you speak to real buyers and write numbers down. It is weak for a large factory investment.
How many people should I talk to?
Ten in the same segment will show a pattern. Two friends will not.
What should I do with the notes?
Turn them into a go or no-go: buyer, price, cost, competition, and the next test.
