How
to Develop New Products
Developing new products
is actually relatively simple. As long as you follow these golden rules you
should be able to design, create and produce profitable products that could
help you start your own business empire:
·
Research Your Market – before generating ideas for new products you need
to research the marketplace. Use feedback from customer surveys, information
from competitors and suggestions from those in the industry to develop
potential ideas.
·
Assess Business Ideas – once you have thought up some ideas you need to
assess them carefully. Think about how they would fit into your overall
business strategy and how they might fit your skills and resources. There is no
point considering ideas that would be too expensive or technical for you to
develop.
·
Sales Potential – look at your product ideas and try to estimate their
sales potential. Market surveys can be useful to help you analyse whether or
not there would be a good demand for them. Identify potential risks (such as strong
competition) and try to overcome them in your marketing strategy.
·
Branding – start designing your product branding. If you don’t have any
experience then it might be a good idea to get expert help. Branding is
essential when it comes to developing a strong place in busy markets.
·
Production Strategy – outline your production strategy. How are you going
to produce and package your product? Get quotes from companies like Neatcrown Contract Packing to see how
much it would cost to produce your product. This will help you understand how
much you need to sell it for and what potential profits you could expect.
·
Prototype – develop a working prototype of your product before you go into
full production. This will help you to spot potential problems and overcome
them before you spend a lot of money on stock. You can also use your prototype
to test market reactions. This can be a very beneficial way to ‘testing the
waters’ before you commit yourself to your new product range.
·
Reassess Product – once you have the prototype, cost information and
feedback from customers reassess your product. There may be some critical
changes that need to be made before you go into production. You may find that
the whole product may need to be re-thought. For example you may have
used a gel-based format for your original product but found that Contract
Liquid Filling packaging is a more financially viable alternative. Redesigning
your product in a liquid form may make it more commercial viable and also
increase its sales potential to customers.
Designing a new product
can be a great way to start your own business. If you have a good idea, then
don’t let it go to waste. Get started now and work your way towards developing
a great new product that could make you your first million!
