About
Developing a successful new product or service doesn't just mean identifying a target audience. It means talking to that audience every step of the way to learn what's important to them and why -- and what they're willing to spend for it. Not only does customer research increase the value of your products and services, it ultimately will drive growth and innovation across your teams.

This VB On-Demand event will dive into how companies can nail customer-focused product development at every stage of the process, from ideation to development to launch. You'll learn the smartest ways to pinpoint your target audience, how to uncover customer key pain points, and how to get a firm grip both on what they want to see and their pricing sweet spot. Plus, you'll get insight into developing the right product messaging, communicating effectively and optimizing your launch.
