RESEARCHING THE MARKET<br />
WHERE TO BEGIN (Continued)<br />
Consultation <strong>and</strong> bespoke research<br />
You should not rely solely on desk research.<br />
Websites <strong>and</strong> online materials can be<br />
out‐of-date <strong>and</strong> the quality <strong>and</strong> reliability<br />
of content varies widely. Sometimes<br />
you may simply be unable to find the<br />
information you’re looking for. This is<br />
why it is essential to verify initial research<br />
findings <strong>and</strong> conduct further investigations.<br />
Often this requires you to map out a<br />
bespoke research brief with the help of<br />
specialists, exploring what additional<br />
information you might need to make an<br />
effective entry into the market <strong>and</strong> how<br />
you can make the contacts vital to success.<br />
