However, doing so risks that you'll spend limited resources on a product that no one wants and won't buy. That's why the target market should come first. After determining the target market, you can research their problems, concerns, wants and needs. Only then are you ready to develop a product to sell to your target market. Many small business owners make the mistake of developing a product and then trying to find a market for it. Frequently they can't. So it's vital to determine your target market first. Warmly, Linda Hi Myspace,
