Are industry reports, analyses and data really helping to develop businesses? How can they be used to better understand the market and make more effective strategic and operational decisions?

Many companies currently decide to buy industry reports in order to get to know their markets, competitors and consumers better. But unfortunately, not many do more than just review and / or present to managers the purchased studies.

 

Simply reading the report is not enough to achieve real benefits after the purchase and to notice a specific return on such an investment. To succeed, it also is necessary to put new knowledge in to practice – both at a strategic and operational level.

 

Here are just a few specific and practical ways how to use high-quality market reports:

 

1. Familiarise with the latest and upcoming consumer trends and adjust you offer and price list to the changing expectations of customers.

2. Get acquainted with the dynamics of development of each of your market segments and invest in new ordeveloping niches.

3. Analyse a competitive and substitutive offer to create innovative solutions that meet, yet unconscious, customers' needs.

4. Check what changes await your industry and prepare operational plans today in case of unfavourable situations, barriers or risks.

5. Learn the objective opinions of experts, analysts and market leaders and verify your current views and activities that may no longer be 100% up-to-date.

6. Use market data and forecasts in the process of creating and updating budgets to increase their credibility and save your time.

7. Include information on current activities and competition development plans in your company's development strategy.

8. Get recommendations from experts who, in industry reports, share proven production, promotion and sales strategies.

9. Contact the companies listed in the report, offering them your products or services and expand the group of your potential clients in this way.

10. Get acquainted with information about suppliers and establish new cooperations, thus improving your production processes.

11. Analyse the activities of distributors presented in the report and expand your existing distribution channels with new entities with high sales potential.

12. While considering a merger or acquisition, reach for industry reports that present rankings and analyses of specific companies.

13. Motivate and integrate your team by offering them access to the latest market information, and thus giving them the opportunity to develop professionally and share knowledge within your organisation.
