But will it sell? Advice on Product Viability for Entrepreneurs

The question of product viability was indeed a question that played on our minds as my co-founder and I began to develop our brand.  We wanted to create an eco-friendly watch company, but cater it to a demographic that was unfamiliar with this type of product.  We were very passionate about this product, but we made sure to do our due diligence to confirm that other creative individuals would also want our watches.

For other entrepreneurs looking to answer the same question about an idea, I recommend three key steps that should help confirm that there are real buyers for your offering.

  1. Analyze the competition

You should first begin with researching existing offerings in your category and see if your product is already being sold.  Checking out your potential competitors in the industry and looking for current market trends will definitely give you the initial confirmation that there’s demand. 

Don't be discouraged if someone is selling your service or product already.  This is actually a good thing because it means that someone has already tested the market and discovered that there is a problem that your product solves.  When we first decided to develop our unique watches from sustainable wood, we thought we would be the first to ever do it.  After a quick Internet search, we noticed that we weren't, but did find that there were plenty of gaps and opportunities for us within this wood watch space.

If your product has not been sold before, you might be in luck as well.  You now have the opportunity to introduce a new product to the world.  In this scenario, you should analyze the market for complimentary or even supplemental products to help you solidify your idea and reach out to individuals within your warm market for feedback and support. 

  1. Define the target customer

After discovering that there was already an emerging market for wood watches, it was important for us to determine if the target market we wanted to sell our product to would be willing to buy our watch.  With this in mind, we started to get to know our target market a little better by defining and outlining who they are.  This is an important step because the more you understand your target customer, the clearer view you’ll have of how and why they’ll buy your product.  Defining your target customer will not only help validate your product idea, it will also assist in the creation of marketing materials and potential campaigns.

  1. Determine the price

Price is a critical component because it sorts out who is and isn’t your customer.

After analyzing the wood watch market and defining our target customer, we came up with 2 conclusions related to price.  First, other wood watches were slightly over-priced and second, our customers would respond best to a product that was moderately priced.  This has proven to be an important reason why we have succeeded in accomplishing our goal of repeat customers within our chosen demographic.

Make sure you do your homework so can set a strategic price point.  Ultimately, I suggest just putting yourself in your customer’s shoes and look at this buying decision from their point of view.  This should help you out the most!

    I promised Great Dr. Odunga to post this testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga.

    I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his email emutemple@gmail.com

I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My mother has been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took the life of my mother.

I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a spell caster who has helped so many people worldwide. I contacted Lord Krish at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mother. Within a week, mother was cured and healed.

    HOW DID I GET ACCESS TO MY CRYPTOCURRENCY WHEN THE TRADING PLATFORM DID NOT ALLOW ME TO WITHDRAW MY FUNDS I was introduced to a cryptocurrency trading platform smatdec. me. where I invested my entire savings, they didn’t allow me to withdraw my profits or my investment funds even after paying all sorts of ridiculous fees. I’m a disabled veteran and losing my funds to these platforms has caused me all forms of financial distress and depression. I was very lucky to have come across Spyweb Cyber Security Service, which was able to help me recover my crypto after their investigation, they found out the platform was a scam site and was only after my investment funds. Spyweb Cyber Security Service was able to recover all my funds. I’m truly grateful and I highly recommend their services to everyone affected by this scam.
