One of the ways to find the answers to these questions is to conduct a survey. You could place a simple Multi Choose survey onto your website and offer a free gift to anyone filling it out. It's a way of gathering information. Analyze your findings and find out what is like or dislike about your product or service. Make adjustments if necessary
Once you have define your market group you must decide how much information you want your customer to know about your product or service in order to convince them to do business with you. If you give out to much information they may switch off and not pay attention to the message. Once you have your message stick with it and keep it focused.
KNOW YOUR COMPETITION
