Why “Develop” Products but not your Market?”

Marketing is not simply the execution of tasks pulled from a marketer’s toolkit.  One doesn’t “turn on” marketing or “do” viral marketing and expect to see a significant return. The key to effective marketing is learning which right activities will reach and convert the right customers. Marketing activities must be tailored to who you are as a business: your customers, their problem you are addressing, and the solution you’re providing them.
Customer Development marketing uses an iterative, learning approach toward finding the right tools, activities and methods to capture and convert the right audience for your products.
