MARKETING VALIDATION
Market Validation is one of the most important activities a
company can do. It saves time and valuable development and
marketing resources by testing a product concept, idea, position,
and customer buying drivers before a product is launched or
engineered. Market Validation can be done by large companies
exploring a new market or product line as well as start-up
companies that may be looking for funding or introducing their
first product.
