I need to conduct market research on a business idea I have. I need to know information about businesses like mine, but also I need to know more about my customer’s business as well. Where is this information? What do they teach in a marketing program?

I am starting a business that has not been started yet, and I need to conduct some market research to answer some of the questions about the business. I was thinking about just going to the mall and giving people a questionare, but there has to be an easier way. Are there any websites that offer market research solutions for small businesses?

I need to create a survey/questionare and have a few hundred people answer it. Does anyone know how I can do this. Thank you very much.
Yes I am on a budget, but I can spend about $1,000. If I could spend less that would be great, but I do have a little money to spend.

Me and a friend are considering starting our own computer repair business, however we’d like to carry out some market research before deciding to invest any money. The only strategy we have thought of so far is to stand in a crowded shopping mall and ask people to complete a survey but we doubt this will be effective.

I would appreciate any suggestions on other types of market research or confirmation that surveying is a good method and also how many people we should survey to make our data credible.

The marketing research department for a computer company used a large city to test market their new product. They found that the demand equation was p = 1296 – 0.12x^2. If the cost equation is C = 830 + 396x, find the number of units that will produce maximum profit.
Haha. That’s the given question. I don’t know anything more than that.

My mom wants to get into property management and the job descriptions all include “market research”? What kind of market research would you do for apartment buildings? She was a property manager for 3 buildings for 27 years and she never did or even heard of such a thing. What kind of background do you have to have?

I used to be on some kind of calling list and a market research company would call me and invite me to come to taste new menu items for local fast food chains and then pay me $60. It was fantastic, I would get paid to eat a free lunch. I changed numbers and they don’t call anymore, does anyone know of a website where I could sign up for something like that? I know they have this kind of thing all over the US as my mom often does it as well…
