Never underestimate the power of marketing | 19th January
Steve Jobs once said “Market research? How can people possibly know what they want until we show them it?”. Focus groups may not be right for you or your products, and I have major reservations myself as to how effective it is to get Mr Public's opinion on where a product should be going: if they knew why aren't they in business! But marketing is a MUST to get your product or service out there and in the hands of the people who want it. So always, always target your designs with marketing know howto get the best results.
