Different Types of Market Research

  • Exploratory Research: Finding out the nature of the problem and asking yourself if it’s extensive enough to be worth solving.
  • Competitive Analysis helps to understand the territory of your competitors. It is vital before you decide how to approach development.
  • User Insights. You need to know who your customers are before you can build for them. User insights influence every part of product development.
