What is a Marketing Analysis?
A Market Analysis is a thorough examination of your target market, people that you intend to sell your products or services to.
Where Do I Start?
The first step is to define your target market.
Even if you intend on selling a service only in your own
town, you're not selling that service to everyone
who lives there. You need to know
what the people are like who might be interested in
buying your product or service
how many of these potential customers there are in your
target area
Target Market Projections
Now, make some projections about your target markets:
how much of your products or service they might buy
how your target markets might be affected by trends and policies
As
always research is the key.

Defining Your Target Market
To define your target market, you need to ask specific questions
that are directly related to your products or services.
For example, if you plan to sell computer-related services,
you need to know how many computers your prospective customer
already owns.
If you plan on selling garden furniture and accessories,
you need to know what kinds of garden furniture or accessories
your potential customers have bought in the past, and how
often.
Researching Your Target Marketing
The aim of researching your target market is to discover
which industries, consumers or target markets your business
should pursue. Detailed research will help you:
Learn more about your customer's needs.
Learn more about your customer's perceptions of your
product/service:
How your product/service is positioned in your customer's
mind
Learn more about what motivates potential customers
to purchase your product or service and/or competitor's
product/service
Discover the internal attitudes towards products and
service vs. the market's perception.
