This guide lays out ten essential factors to shape a growth strategy that works for new ventures or established businesses. Each factor comes with practical steps and real-world examples you can learn from.</p><h2>Understand Market Size and Demand</h2><p>Knowing how big your market is helps you set realistic targets.</p><ul><li>Research industry reports, census data and trade publications.</li><li>Estimate the total number of potential customers and their spending power.</li><li>Look for niche segments within the broader market that may be easier to serve.</li></ul><p>For instance, <a data-mce-href="https://gocardless.com/" href="https://gocardless.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GoCardless</a> tapped into the recurring payments market by finding that many small businesses needed a simpler way to collect subscription fees.

Key Factors to Consider When Developing a Growth Strategy

<p><br>Starting a new business without market research is like building a house without a blueprint. Market research helps you understand your customers, the problem you are solving and how to stand out from competitors. It helps you build something people actually want.</p><p>This guide walks through simple, real steps you can follow to do great market research. Even if you are starting small or testing a bold idea, this process helps you make smart, informed decisions.</p><h2>Start With One Simple Question - What problem are you solving?</h2><p>Every strong business solves a real problem. Start by writing a clear, short statement about the <a href="https://wisebytes.co/blog/key-elements-for-creating-a-winning-pitch-deck-for-investors-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://wisebytes.co/blog/key-elements-for-creating-a-winning-pitch-deck-for-investors-2">problem your idea is solving</a>. Make sure it is something specific, not general.</p><p>For example, instead of saying, “People need better snacks,” say, “Busy professionals want healthy snacks they can eat during their commute.”</p><p>This clarity helps guide every step that follows.</p><figure id="figure-6vtn3i33xbmd4sdh4o"><img id="6vtn3i33xbmd4sdh4o" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aRfPiUsNdbZ2VRtzbE7KIZYde6dlaWjDT3emSZPIdFIHSU5GSwkWCNhytopUqE6.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aRfPiUsNdbZ2VRtzbE7KIZYde6dlaWjDT3emSZPIdFIHSU5GSwkWCNhytopUqE6.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>Talk to Real People</h2><p>One of the most powerful tools is simple conversation. Find people in your target audience and ask them about their habits, struggles and needs. Do not try to pitch your idea...just <em><strong>listen</strong></em>.</p><p>Aim to talk to at least 15–20 people in your potential audience. Look for patterns in what they say. Are they frustrated? What are they already using? What do they wish existed?</p><p>You can find people in Facebook groups, Reddit threads, LinkedIn communities, local forums and even walking the streets in your town where people shop, grab coffee, walk their dog. Don't limit yourself when gathering information to fine tune your idea.&nbsp;</p><p><a data-mce-href="https://tally.so/" href="https://tally.so/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tally</a> is a free survey tool you can use to gather feedback from people quickly and track trends across responses.</p><h2>Study Your Competitors</h2><p>Look at what already exists. Who else is solving a similar problem? What do they offer? What do customers love or complain about?</p><p>Search for your product idea on Google, Bing, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Amazon and app stores. Read reviews, visit websites and check out social media pages. Make a list of features, pricing, messaging and audience type.</p><p>Use this to find gaps. What are others missing? Where can you be different or better?</p><p><a data-mce-href="https://lune.co/" href="https://lune.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lune</a>, a startup helping businesses with carbon emissions tracking, reviewed feedback on climate tools before building a simpler API-first platform with flexible integrations.</p><p><br></p><figure id="figure-5yqogr7m9md4rmswm" class=""><img id="5yqogr7m9md4rmswm" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2d5CGflV3ldqNcAUNqQIOjvKtT9mamAfIFLGisEA1PySwf5s5hfQnE8KdZsAY2rn.png" alt="WiseBytes.co Minimum Viable Product, an MVP" title="WiseBytes.co Minimum Viable Product, an MVP" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2d5CGflV3ldqNcAUNqQIOjvKtT9mamAfIFLGisEA1PySwf5s5hfQnE8KdZsAY2rn.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>Test With a Simple Version (MVP)</h2><p>Do not spend months building a perfect product.
