a) Sales

When you sell a product or service, it is important that you acknowledge whether there is sufficient demand to make a successful campaign.

“it is important that you acknowledge whether there is sufficient demand”

This can be largely influenced by your proposed How & Why to Price Your Products Successfully and needs to be researched intensively. Such information can be retrieved from market research, by collecting statistics to determine anticipated demand.

b) Historic Statistics Secondary research can often accumulate statistics that are not up-to-date (i.e. historic) and therefore may not reflect present consumer attitudes, trends, etc.
This difference between p ast and present statistics could be the difference between be ing successful in a decision and not being successful. Consequently, should you use historic st atistics, be sure th at you can spot trends or patterns that can help you determine a more accurate figure for the present, to base any conclusions or decisions.
