Market Validation: Why Should You Outsource It

Conducting a market validation is one of the tools commonly used by the most successful business owners. This allows them to make better-informed decisions regarding their product, positioning, target market, and pricing, to name a few before they fully invest their resources on launching it. A market validation serves as the strategic business owner’s weapon against huge financial losses and wasted time that is incurred when they launch a product their target market doesn’t even need or want.

Market validation is performed by interviewing the target market of the product to be launched. The answers to these market surveys will show you if there is an actual demand for your product, and how much people are willing to pay for it. As the person behind the product’s conception, it would be ideal if you yourself can perform the market validation, but this is almost impossible since you are also responsible for overseeing your business’ operations.

The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other, because, like your non-core tasks, you can now also outsource your market validation. Here are three reasons why you should delegate your market validation to the experts:

More efficient use of time 

Considering how time-consuming this process of market validation is, you wouldn’t want to switch your focus on it to the detriment of your overall business operations. Outsourcing it is a viable option so you won’t sacrifice your role as a business owner just to have your latest product validated. Outsourcing your market validation to the professionals who have plenty of experience in conducting market surveys gives you the advantage of time leverage. While you are focusing on running your business, the market validation experts are concentrating on their market surveys. Having a dedicated team of professionals to conduct your market validation can lead to a faster turnaround of the valuable answers and insights from the market surveys, than if you were to do it yourself while juggling your other responsibilities.

Expertise means fewer errors

For a process that is as important as market validation, you simply cannot afford to make mistakes in crafting your questions and more importantly, in the manner you ask them to your participants. Outsourcing your market validation to the experts leads your business the mastery, knowledge, and skills to ensure the proper market validation methods are employed. This also increases your competitiveness and boosts your level of professionalism, leaving a positive impression on your target market.

Greater flexibility in finances and manpower

Outsourcing your market validation is a more cost-effective strategy for your business, for both the short- and long-term. At the onset, you will save a considerable amount of money because you will not spend for recruitment, training, salary, and benefits of your own in-house market validation specialist. It is also very unlikely that you will be developing a new product to test on your market for every month that you are running your business. If you choose to hire a full-time employee for this seasonal job, you will experience greater limitations on your financial capital, but outsourcing it allows you to stretch and channel your finances to other income-generating endeavors.

Outsourcing your market validation gives your business an opportunity to increase its operational efficiency, work with the experts while saving money and time.
