Know Your Market, Grow Your Business
The internet is full of valuable information that you can use to gain business insights for growth. But here’s the thing – most business owners are too busy running their companies to dig through all that data and make sense of it. That’s where we come in.
Making business decisions without proper research is expensive. Really expensive. You might launch a product nobody wants, target the wrong customers, or price yourself out of the market. We’ve seen it happen too many times.

The 7 Questions That Drive Every Research Project
Every good research project starts with seven basic market research questions. These aren’t fancy – they’re just the questions you need answered to make smart decisions:
1. Who Are Your Customers?
We figure out exactly who buys from you or should buy from you. Age, income, where they live, what they care about – all of it. You can’t sell to everyone, so let’s find out who actually matters.
2. What Do They Really Want?
What problems are your customers trying to solve? What do they actually need versus what they think they need? We dig into this because the answer often surprises business owners.
3. When Do They Buy?
Some businesses are seasonal. Others depend on payday cycles. Some products sell better at certain times of the day. We find out when your customers are most likely to spend money.
4. Where Do They Make Decisions?
Do your customers research online but buy in person? Do they trust Facebook ads or do they prefer recommendations from friends? We map out their entire decision-making process.
5. Why Do They Choose You (Or Your Competitors)?
Price? Quality? Convenience? Brand reputation? The real reasons people buy might be different from what you think. We find out what actually drives their decisions.
6. How Do They Prefer to Buy?
Some customers want to call. Others want to order online. Some need to see the product first. We figure out how your customers actually want to interact with businesses like yours.
7. How Much Will They Pay?
This is where many businesses get it wrong. We research what your customers are actually willing to pay and what they consider good value. No more guessing on pricing.
Who Should Handle Your Market Research?
Who conducts market research in a business? In big companies, they have whole teams for this. But most Kenyan businesses can’t afford that. That’s why you hire professionals who already have the tools, experience, and time to do it right.
We bring:
- Research methods that actually work
- No bias (we don’t care what the answer is, we just want the right answer)
- Experience across different industries
- Access to data sources you don’t have
- The ability to spot patterns you might miss
- Clear recommendations you can actually use
Who Actually Needs This?
Who needs market research? Here’s the honest answer – any business owner who’s tired of guessing:
- New businesses who want to know if their idea will actually work
- Small businesses trying to find more customers
- Growing businesses launching new products or services
- Online businesses competing for attention
- Service businesses wondering if their customers are happy
- Any business that’s hit a plateau and doesn’t know why
What Our Research Actually Looks Like
Examples of online research we do:
- Competitor Analysis: What are your competitors doing right? What are they doing wrong? Where are the gaps you can fill?
- Customer Satisfaction: Are your current customers happy? What would make them spend more? What’s driving them away?
- Brand Research: Do people know your brand exists? What do they think when they hear your name?
- Product Testing: Will people actually buy this new product or service before you spend money making it?
- Market Entry: Is there room for you in this new market? Who’s already there? How do you compete?
- Pricing Studies: What’s the highest price you can charge without losing customers? What’s the lowest price that still seems credible?
- Digital Marketing: Where should you spend your marketing money online? What messages actually work?

Yes, You Can Hire Someone to Do This
Can you pay someone to do market research? Of course. And you should, because the cost of bad decisions is always higher than the cost of good research.
Is market research expensive? That depends on what you compare it to. It costs less than launching a product that fails. It costs less than a marketing campaign that doesn’t work. It costs less than expanding into the wrong market.
