The gathering, assessment, and interpretation of data for the purpose of assisting businesses in making wise decisions is known as market research. This step is critical while building your strategic plan for a successful market entry into a new market, like Vietnam. It assists you in assessing the viability of the market, establishing the kinds of marketing messages you should offer and how to convey them, as well as the demands of your audience and your target market for your goods or services. For emerging markets, timing is a crucial factor in opening a branch office or introducing a new market, and only proper research will give you an idea of whether or not the timing is right.
