Do we need research for marketing?
Answers: That's why there is a whole field of MARKET RESEARCH, which can be both qualitative and quantitative research
You need research to know your audience, what they want, waht they like or not like about your products. Example of market studies:
- Name test -- among several options, which name rings better with potential buyer
- Usage research -- how are users currently using the product
- Taste test -- food companies often prepare several
versions of their products and conduct research as to which taste consumers prefer
- Demographic research -- what is the age, sex, income, educational attainment, etc of your customers or potential market
I even had a client from a top company before who wanted to conduct a market research to see if grocery shoppers prefer taller table napkins stacked taller than the ones that sort of sags after a few days on the grocery aisle.
Top companies such as Procter or Gamble are very obsessive as to how the packaging of their new Tide product and other products should look -- and conduct lots of tests before releasing it to the market.
Even online companies are doing a lot of market research -- especially on the look and feel of their website and how users navigate their site.
Then there's focus group discussions where a moderator asks series of questions in the hope of understanding the concerns, needs and wants of their target market based on the sample group
if you dont research the best methods of marketing your product or service and get a solid understanding of your customers, how could you possibly justify your decisions moving forward? No research = sure failure

We are using a company to get our website see by G00GLE. They have asked us to place a site map on our root directory but we dont enjoy a clue how to do this please any help.Answers: If this company is doing your SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) afterwards they should create a G00GLE sitemap for you. Its very simple and within are many online websites who will create you one for free and you afterwards just call for to upload it. If they mess you around. Email me and I will talk you through it or do it for you if you bestow me details

root directory is the major file directory on your host server - usually, the one where on earth your main index report is located.
site map can be described as list of titles and subtitles (and sub-sub-...-titles) that describe the ranking of topics - one web page will be allocated to respectively topic and its URL link will be down in the site map record. hope this explanation helps.

I am sure you can seize the sitemap generated automatically and uploaded for the investigate engines. If you don't know anything about thiese sort of brass tacks you are going to get ripped stale. Join one of the approprite forums (www.statcounter.com). Even if you are not going to do it yourself you can still learn the fundamentals. There is so much more to writing a website and next paying people to promote it etc. You are more than promising gonna be ripped off. Everyone who have a vague opinion about websites contemplate theyknow it all and will charge you for their simple knowledge. As I enjoy said before; a website requests to be designed propoerly from the very initiation, otherwise you will be handicapped as the wbsite gets more popularity (hopefully)
Anyone can produce a website from a template or dreamweaver, even MS Word, but this is more tyhan credible the wrong way. Either revise how to code websites properly or pay someone to do it. If its smaller quantity than lb750 you are probably not going to get that.
