Are You Missing Hidden Opportunities in the U.S. Market? The Cost of Skipping Thorough Research
Let’s be honest—when you’re trying to enter a market as big and complex as the U.S., it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Product development, logistics, and navigating a whole new set of regulations are already on your plate. But if you're skipping thorough market research, you might be subconsciously avoiding something even bigger: key opportunities that could take your business to the next level.
What is the cost of skipping market research?
It’s tempting to rely on surface-level data or gut instincts—especially when the U.S. market can seem daunting. But without digging deeper into the unique nuances of this market, your product could be positioned incorrectly, priced all wrong, or marketed in a way that simply doesn’t click with U.S. veterinarians.
Here’s the thing: It’s not just about knowing who your audience is. It’s about really understanding how they think, what they need, and what they’re dealing with day to day. Miss this, and you could be looking at missteps like:
Off-target messaging: The same pitch that works in Europe or Asia may miss the mark with U.S. buyers.
Pricing mistakes: Competitive pricing overseas doesn’t always translate to the U.S., where costs and value perceptions can vary widely.
Missed market segments: Without knowing the competitive gaps or niche needs, your product might struggle to find its place.
These mistakes can be costly—not just in terms of sales, but in reputation too.
Why We Subconsciously Avoid Deep Research
It’s understandable. The U.S. market is a tough nut to crack, and digging into complex market data can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, businesses shy away from this because it’s uncomfortable.
Let’s face it: When we’re outside our comfort zone, we tend to avoid the things that feel hardest. This is a universal concept of being human, regardless of where we may be from or where we live.
But here’s the catch—regret and missed opportunity can be more painful than the temporary discomfort of taking action, even if outside our comfort zones. Don’t look back and realize that skipping the hard work led you to miss major opportunities.
What You Might Be Missing
The U.S. veterinary market is full of hidden gems. Thorough research can uncover:
Niche segments: Areas where your product could shine that you didn’t even know existed.
Gaps in the competition: Weak spots in the market where your product could gain traction.
Regional differences: The U.S. isn’t one-size-fits-all. A product that takes off in Texas might need a different approach in California.
