Market Survey vs Competitor Survey

In today's competitive business world, introducing a new product to the market can be a challenging task. To reduce risk and increase the product's success, it is important to run surveys before introducing the product to the market. But what is the difference between a market survey and a competitor survey, and why is it worth running the checks before introducing the product?

Market survey or competitor survey?

A market survey and a competitor survey are two different types of research whose purpose is to examine the audience's needs and reactions to products and to identify the existing competitors in the market, but they differ in certain aspects:

A market survey focuses on examining the sales potential of a new product and consumers' reaction to the product, and makes it possible to identify the best options for market entry. In addition, a market survey makes it possible to list the characteristics and features consumers look for in a product and to adapt the product to their needs.

A competitor survey, on the other hand, focuses on examining the existing competition in the market and the existing products already sold in the market. The research makes it possible to identify the existing competitors and to check the features of their products and their strengths and weaknesses. In this way you can adapt the new product to the existing needs in the market and develop the best product that will compete successfully with the existing products in the market.

In summary, a market survey focuses on consumers' reaction to a new product and on adapting the product to their needs, while a competitor survey focuses on the existing competition in the market

Market survey

Here are some items that should appear in a market survey:

• Purpose of the product: the survey should examine consumers' needs and identify the problems or needs that the new product can solve or answer.
• Target audience: it is important to identify the target audience for the product and to check its needs and reactions to the product. The audience can be specific, such as by age, gender, interests and so on.
• Product capabilities: the survey should examine the different capabilities of the product and check whether it meets consumers' technical needs.
• Product features: the survey should examine the different features of the product and identify the features most important to consumers. This can include quantities, product shape, materials, colors and so on.
• Price: the survey should examine price sensitivity among consumers and check whether the product fits their financial situation.

Competitor survey

Here are some items that should appear in a competitor survey:

• Competitors' products: it is important to identify the competing products and check their characteristics and capabilities. The survey should examine the main features of the competing products such as technical features, design features and price.
• Strengths and weaknesses of competitors' products: the survey should examine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors' products and identify the possibilities of taking advantage of them for the benefit of the new product.
• Consumer reactions to competitors' products: it is important to check consumers' reactions to competitors' products, including the positive and negative points, and to identify the features that matter to them.
• Service and support level: it is important to check the level of service and support that competitors offer their customers, and to identify opportunities to improve the service and support offered by the new product.
