Discovering Profitable Products – Strategies and Essential Tools

2025-11-12

Product research is the most critical step in building a successful Amazon FBA business. Before you invest time and money in inventory and marketing, you need to be sure you’ve found a product customers want and can profitably provide. In this chapter, we’ll dive deep into a proven, data-driven process for uncovering high-potential, low-competition products. We’ll also introduce the essential tools, particularly those from SellerSprite, that will empower you to complete each step efficiently.

Many new sellers make the mistake of following the same generic advice and filters that everyone else uses. They rely on popular tactics in mainstream tools without thinking outside the box. The result? They all end up finding and launching the same products, which quickly turns a once-promising niche into a flooded market. In contrast, our approach uses innovative methods and non-traditional data sources that most sellers overlook. Even many experienced seven- and eight-figure Amazon sellers aren’t aware of some of these techniques. By leveraging these strategies, you’ll gain a true competitive edge in product selection.
Above all, remember that product research is the foundation of your business. Every other aspect, from listing optimization, marketing, to fulfillment, only amplifies the quality of the product opportunity you start with. If you select a mediocre or overly competitive product, even the best marketing will struggle to make it successful. On the other hand, a fantastic, in-demand product can thrive even with just decent execution. As the saying goes, if you pour resources into a poor product, you amplify the problems. But if you invest in a great product, the results will multiply. So please take your time with this phase and approach it with a thorough, data-informed mindset. Let’s break down the process step by step.
 

Overview of the 5-Step Product Research Process

Our product research system can be outlined in five significant steps:
  • Identify High-Demand Product Categories on Amazon. Start broadly by identifying which product types are selling well in high volume. This gives us a general direction to explore further.
  • Find Untapped Niche Opportunities Within Those Categories. Use specific keyword data and cross-platform research (Amazon searches, Google trends, Etsy, etc.) to pinpoint “holes” in the market – product ideas that shoppers are looking for but that currently have limited or poor competition on Amazon.
  • Analyze Customer Reviews for Insight. Leverage honest customer feedback on existing products to learn exactly what people like and dislike. This will help us design a superior product that addresses gaps and pain points in current options.
  • Evaluate Profitability and Costs. Run the numbers to ensure the product can be sold at a healthy profit. It’s not enough for a product to have demand; it must also make financial sense after considering all costs (manufacturing, shipping, Amazon fees, etc.).
  • Validate the Concept with Real Buyers. Before fully committing, test your product idea (especially its design or unique features) by getting feedback from real consumers. Using survey tools to compare your concept with existing products can help you avoid costly mistakes and give you confidence that customers will prefer your offering.
Don’t worry if some of these steps sound unfamiliar right now. In the sections ahead, we will delve into each step in detail. By the end of this chapter, you’ll understand how each step works and how to execute it using the right tools. Let’s begin with the first step.
 

Step 1: Identify High-Demand Product Categories

The first step is to get a bird’s-eye view of what’s selling well on Amazon. Think of this as finding big ponds with lots of fish before deciding which small corner of the pond to cast your net. Here, we are looking for product categories or markets with high overall demand. In other words, many customers are purchasing a specific type of product.
Identifying these high-demand areas is pretty straightforward. Amazon itself gives us clues: you can browse the Amazon Best Sellers lists, Trending products, and Top 100 items in various departments to see which categories are booming. If you notice, for example, that home fitness equipment or eco-friendly kitchen gadgets consistently rank high in sales, that suggests those markets have strong customer interest.
Another practical approach is to use SellerSprite’s product research tools to gauge category demand. SellerSprite maintains a comprehensive database of Amazon products and sales data. Using the Product Research feature, you can filter and search through Amazon’s catalog by category, sales volume, price range, and other criteria. This allows you to identify products that generate significant monthly sales quickly. By scanning through the results, you’ll start to spot patterns – perhaps a specific sub-category has many products, each generating tens of thousands in monthly revenue. That’s a signal of a high-demand niche or category.

Pro Tip: Keep an open mind during this phase. At this stage, you’re not deciding what specific product to sell; you’re just gathering ideas on broadly what types of products are popular. Jot down a few categories or product types that catch your attention due to their high sales. For example, you might note that “fitness accessories” or “organic skincare” seem lucrative. These will serve as the starting point for the next step, where we’ll narrow our focus.
In summary, Step 1 is about casting a wide net and identifying the general markets that are worth investigating. Once you have one or a few high-demand categories in mind, you’re ready to dig deeper and uncover specific opportunities within them.

Step 2: Discover Untapped Niche Opportunities

Now that you know the broad category you’re interested in, it’s time to niche down and find the hidden gems within that category. In this step, our goal is to pinpoint specific product ideas with strong demand, limited competition, and room for improvement. This is where we differentiate ourselves from the average seller. Instead of picking the same generic product that everyone else finds, we’ll use creative data sources to find holes in the market – essentially, unmet customer needs.
How do we find these niche opportunities? We combine insights from several sources, including Amazon’s own search data, external search engines, and other e-commerce platforms. Let’s break down the key techniques:

2.1 Use Amazon’s Autocomplete and Keyword Data

One of the most straightforward yet most powerful tools at your disposal is Amazon’s search bar itself. When you start typing a keyword into the Amazon search box, it automatically suggests popular searches that many users are performing. These suggestions (Amazon’s autocomplete) are pure gold for product researchers – they literally tell you what customers want. For example, if you type in a broad term like “yoga mat” and see suggestions like “yoga mat with alignment lines” or “yoga mat eco-friendly thick”, it indicates users are searching for those specific features or sub-niches.

Note long-tail keyword suggestions relevant to your category. Often, these long-tail searches (specific phrases usually containing 3+ words) represent niche product opportunities. In many cases, a long-tail term suggests that people have a particular product variation or problem in mind (e.g., “spill-proof coffee travel mug” indicates people want a travel mug that doesn’t leak).
To go beyond just eyeballing suggestions, you can use SellerSprite’s Keyword Research tool. This tool aggregates Amazon search data to show you actual search terms shoppers use and how frequently they’re searched. You can input a broad keyword (like the category name or a generic product term) and get a list of related keywords along with their search volumes on Amazon. If you find a search term that has significant volume but few good results on Amazon, that’s your opportunity! For instance, if “stainless steel bento box with lock” is searched often but the current products for that search are scarce or poorly reviewed, you may have discovered a profitable niche to target.

Why is this effective? Most sellers use generic product databases and apply the same filters (price, sales, reviews) to find product ideas, which often leads them all to the same highly competitive products. In contrast, by focusing on actual customer search behavior, you’re finding what customers are actively looking for in real time. These niches are often overlooked by others, especially when they rely on only one-dimensional filters.

2.2 Leverage Google Search Trends for Product Ideas

Amazon is a giant, but it’s not the only place people search for products. In fact, studies have shown that roughly one-third of online shoppers begin their product search on search engines like Google. This means Google can be an invaluable source of insight into product demand beyond Amazon. Suppose thousands of people are searching on Google for a product that isn’t readily available on Amazon. In that case, you’ve potentially struck gold – you could introduce that product to Amazon and capture that unmet demand.
You can start by brainstorming keywords related to your product category and see how they trend on Google. A great free resource for this is Google Trends (and conveniently, SellerSprite offers a built-in Google Trends tool within its free toolkit). Google Trends lets you input a search term and see how interest in that term has changed over time, and even which regions it’s popular in. This can tell you if a product idea is gaining popularity, is seasonal, or has steady year-round interest. For example, you might discover that searches for “wireless earbeds” spiked in the past year as remote work became more common – indicating a rising trend.

Beyond just trends, you might want more concrete data on how many people search for specific keywords on Google. While Amazon’s keyword tools show Amazon search volume, a Google keyword research tool can show you approximate Google search volumes. Tools like Google’s own Keyword Planner (part of Google Ads) or other SEO keyword tools can help here. (For our purposes, we don’t need to dive deeply into Google Ads, but be aware that this data exists.) The key is to look for product-related search terms with high search volume on Google. If you find a term that’s clearly product-focused (e.g., “ergonomic bamboo laptop stand”) with thousands of monthly Google searches, check Amazon: Is anyone selling that exact type of item? If not—or if only a few sellers are, and their offerings are mediocre—this could be a prime opportunity for you.
Remember, by tapping into Google’s data, you’re essentially uncovering demand that might not yet be fully satisfied on Amazon. It’s a way to get ahead of the curve and find niches before they become saturated on the Amazon platform.

2.3 Explore Etsy for Unique, High-Demand Items

Another unconventional source of product inspiration is Etsy, the large e-commerce marketplace known for handmade, vintage, and unique items. Why look at Etsy? Because it often reveals product trends that haven’t hit Amazon yet. Etsy’s user base tends to favor creative and niche products – items that sometimes go “viral” on Etsy, while no equivalent exists on Amazon. This presents a fantastic opportunity: if you can identify a product that’s selling like hotcakes on Etsy, you might be able to produce a version of it to sell on Amazon, where the audience (and potential sales) is exponentially larger.
Here’s how to use Etsy for research: search within Etsy for items related to your category or use its own trending lists. Please note products with a high number of sales or reviews (indicating popularity). Ask yourself, “Is this product available on Amazon? If so, how many sellers offer it, and how well are they doing? If not, why not – and is there a demand on Amazon for it?” For example, you might notice a particular rustic ceramic planter style selling thousands of units on Etsy. On Amazon, however, you might find only one similar item with mediocre reviews, or none at all. This could be a gap you can fill.
It’s essential to ensure that the product isn’t too specific to Etsy’s handmade nature (you need to source or manufacture it at scale). Still, many trending Etsy products can be adapted or sourced through manufacturers. Keep in mind that Amazon’s market is about 50 times larger than Etsy’s in terms of sales volume, so even a moderately successful Etsy product can sometimes become a smash hit on Amazon if positioned correctly.
By using Amazon’s own suggestions, Google’s search insights, and Etsy’s trend-spotting, you are essentially shining multiple flashlights into the market from different angles. They will help you uncover those hidden niches – the product ideas that lots of people want, but few sellers are offering. Once you’ve identified a promising niche idea, it’s time to validate it further. Next, we’ll look at how to analyze existing products and customer feedback to make sure your idea truly has an advantage.

Step 3: Analyze Customer Reviews for Insight and Improvement

At this stage, you likely have one or a few specific product ideas that seem promising. Perhaps you’ve found a niche search term that lots of people are using (from Step 2) and noticed that only a couple of products on Amazon address that need—and they have flaws. Now we need to deep-dive into those existing products and listen to what their customers are saying.
Customer reviews on Amazon are a goldmine of free market research data. Reviews tell you precisely what actual buyers liked or disliked about a product. By systematically analyzing reviews on the products that would be your future competitors, you can glean two crucial things:
  • Key Selling Points to Emulate: What do customers love about the current options? Perhaps they frequently praise the durability of a product, or how a certain feature makes their life easier. These are aspects you must ensure your product also delivers – you might even highlight them in your marketing.
  • Pain Points and Gaps to Fix: What do customers complain about? Maybe the material feels cheap, the product breaks after a week, the size was smaller than expected, or the design missed a useful detail. These negatives are opportunities. They reveal how you can make a superior product that addresses those frustrations. If you can solve common complaints that multiple reviewers mention, your product will immediately stand out in quality and user satisfaction.
How to analyze reviews effectively? Manually reading hundreds of reviews is one approach, but it’s time-consuming. Thankfully, SellerSprite provides a Review Analysis tool as part of its suite. With this tool (or similar review analytics features), you can aggregate and filter reviews on a competing product to identify the most mentioned positives and negatives.

Make sure to analyze multiple competing products’ reviews, if available—not just one. This gives you a broader view of what the market lacks or values. Compile a list of the top 4-5 things customers like about current options, and the top 4-5 things they dislike. This list essentially becomes your roadmap for designing your product. Ensure your product maintains or exceeds the aspects customers love and strategically improves the ones they dislike.
By letting authentic customer voices guide you, you’re taking a lot of the guesswork out of product design. Instead of you guessing what features might be important, the market is telling you directly, “Include these features, fix these problems.” Your job is to listen and implement.
Before we move on, it’s worth emphasizing: most newbie sellers skip this step entirely. They pick a product and hand it off to a manufacturer without much thought, often ending up with something that has the same flaws as everything else out there. By doing the review analysis, you are literally spying the roadmap to a better product. This is how you’ll differentiate yourself and win customer approval quickly once you launch.

Step 4: Evaluate Profitability and Calculate Your Costs

By now, you should feel confident that there is solid demand for your product idea and that you know how to make it stand out. The next question is critical: Will this product be financially viable? A product might be popular and well-liked, but if it can’t yield a healthy profit, it’s not a good business move. As entrepreneurs often say, “Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity.” We need to ensure that when you make a sale, you’re not only recouping your costs but earning a satisfactory profit margin.
Here are the key factors to evaluate in this step:
  • Manufacturing/Unit Cost: How much will it cost you per unit to produce or source this product from a supplier? (Don’t forget to include the packaging cost if any.)
  • Shipping and Logistics: What’s the cost to ship the product from the manufacturer to your storage or Amazon’s fulfillment centers (if using FBA)? Large or heavy items incur higher freight costs. If you’re importing, include customs duties or import taxes.
  • Amazon Fees: Amazon will charge fees to fulfill and sell your product. The main ones are the FBA fulfillment fee (covers picking, packing, and shipping to the customer) which usually depends on the item’s size and weight, and the Referral fee (a percentage of your selling price, often around 15% for most categories). There may also be storage fees if your item sits in the warehouse for a while.
  • Selling Price (Revenue per unit): What price do you realistically expect to sell the product for on Amazon? Look at the current competing products for a gauge. Your price must be competitive while still covering all costs.
Once you have estimates for the above, calculate your profit per unit: roughly, Selling Price – (Cost of Goods + Shipping + Amazon Fees). For a product to be worthwhile, this unit profit should be healthy (many sellers aim for around a 25-30% profit margin or more). If your calculations show only a tiny margin (say 5-10%), that’s a red flag – any small unexpected expense or price reduction could wipe out your profit entirely. In such cases, you may need to rethink the product (perhaps find a cheaper supplier, bundle it to increase the price, or choose a different item altogether).
To simplify these calculations, you can use the Profitability Calculator provided in SellerSprite’s free tools. This handy calculator lets you enter all the relevant numbers (costs, fees, prices) and computes your net margin and even ROI for you. It accounts for Amazon’s fee structures, so you get an accurate picture of your financials. Using such a tool reduces the risk of overlooking a cost. For example, SellerSprite’s calculator will remind you to account for things like packaging weight (which can affect FBA fees) and even let you compare how profit changes if you adjust the selling price or find a cheaper manufacturing cost.

Another aspect of profitability is scale and volume. Consider how many units you expect to sell in a month (you can estimate this by looking at the sales of similar products using SellerSprite’s sales data or Sales Estimator). Then multiply your per-unit profit by that volume to project a monthly profit. Does it meet your income goals or make the effort worth it? For instance, if you aim to make $5,000 monthly profit, and your product will likely profit $5 per unit, you need about 1,000 sales a month. Is that achievable in your niche, given the demand? These questions ensure your expectations align with reality.
In summary, Step 4 is about doing your homework on the finances. It’s much better to discover potential profit issues now, before you invest, than to be unpleasantly surprised later. Many new sellers get excited by seeing a product that sells, say, $50,000 a month in revenue and rush in unthinkingly. They might ignore that after $40,000 in costs and fees, that $50k in sales is only $10k in profit – or worse, perhaps it’s not profitable at all if returns or ad costs are high. Our goal is to avoid those traps by carefully crunching the numbers. A truly excellent product opportunity not only sells well but also delivers a solid profit per unit. Once you’ve verified that your idea passes the profitability test, there’s one more crucial step before you pull the trigger and launch: validating the concept with real people.

Step 5: Validate Your Product Idea with Real Buyers (Pre-launch Testing)

Imagine investing thousands of dollars in inventory and launching your product, only to find out that customers don’t actually like your product’s design or don’t find it compelling enough to buy. That would be a nightmare, right? Fortunately, there’s a way to test your product idea and make improvements before you spend that significant investment on inventory and a full launch. This final step is about getting honest, unbiased feedback from your target audience to validate that your product will truly resonate with customers.
One of the best ways to do this is by using an online consumer survey or polling service. A popular choice among Amazon sellers is PickFu, which lets you gather quick feedback from a panel of people in your target demographic. Here’s how you can use a tool like PickFu to validate your product concept:
  • Create a Concept Image: Since your actual product might not exist yet, hire a graphic designer or use a 3D rendering to create a realistic image of your proposed product. Show it in full detail—if design or style is a key feature, make sure it comes across.
  • Select Competitor Comparisons: Take the images of a few (say 2–4) of the top-selling competitor products from Amazon that your item will compete against. These should be the current popular options that people are buying.
  • Set Up a Poll: On the survey platform, you’ll present your product image side by side with the competitor product images. Ask a straightforward question to respondents in your target market, such as: “Which of these products would you be most likely to buy?” or “Which product design do you find most appealing and why?” Make sure to gather qualitative feedback (the “why”) in addition to the vote – this is where you get the insightful comments.
  • Define Your Audience: Most survey tools let you choose demographic filters. PickFu, for example, allows targeting by gender, age, interests, and more. Please select the criteria that match your ideal customer. If you’re planning to sell a high-end pet accessory, you might target pet owners in a specific age range, for instance.
Once you run the poll, you’ll receive results usually within minutes to a few hours. Pay close attention to the outcome. Did your product concept win the majority vote? If so, that’s strong validation – people are telling you they prefer your product to what’s already on the market, which is a fantastic sign. Even more important, read the written feedback. You’ll learn why they chose one over another. For example, you might know that people loved your color scheme but found your size too small compared to another product’s image.
What if your concept did not win and, say, came last in preference? It can be disappointing, but it’s incredibly valuable to learn this now rather than after a costly launch. If the feedback indicates a clear issue (perhaps “the design looks less sturdy” or “I don’t like the packaging of option C”), you can take that to heart and iterate on your product design. You might decide to tweak the design and run another test, or, in some cases, realize that this product isn’t as compelling as you hoped and that it’s better to refine the idea further or even choose a different product. It’s far better to spend a small amount on a survey and some design adjustments than to lose a significant investment on a product that doesn’t sell.
Think of this step as an insurance policy for your product launch. It ensures you’re not the only one who thinks your product is excellent – you have evidence that real potential customers find it attractive as well. By the end of this process, you should have in your hands a product idea that is in demand in the market, improved through customer insights, financially viable, and validated by target consumers. That is a powerful position to be in and sets you up for a much smoother launch.

Essential Tools and Resources for Product Research (SellerSprite and More)

Throughout the steps above, we’ve mentioned various tools and platforms. Let’s summarize the key tools you’ll be using in your product research journey and how they fit into our process:
  • SellerSprite – All-in-One Amazon Research Suite: SellerSprite is the primary software we’ll use for many tasks. It offers a powerful web-based platform and a convenient Chrome extension. Some of the most essential features for us include:
    • Product Database & Research: Allows you to filter Amazon’s catalog to find products that meet specific criteria (sales volume, price, category, etc.), helping with Step 1: identifying high-demand products.
    • Keyword Mining & Reverse ASIN: Provides data on what shoppers search for on Amazon and which keywords a particular product ranks for. This is crucial in Step 2 for finding niche keywords and in Step 3 for understanding competitors.
    • Chrome Extension (Quick View): While browsing Amazon, SellerSprite’s extension can instantly display product insights like sales estimates, historical trends (similar to Keepa charts), review summaries, and more. This on-the-fly data is convenient as you validate ideas in real time.
    • Review Analysis: Helps aggregate and analyze customer review data (as used in Step 3) so you can quickly spot pros and cons mentioned by buyers.
    • Sales Estimator: Converts Amazon Best Seller Rank (BSR) into estimated monthly sales for a product, aiding in gauging demand and revenue calculations.
    • Profitability Calculator: Lets you plug in costs and fees to confirm your margins (used in Step 4).
    • Google Trends Integration: Provides quick access to Google Trends data for keywords, right within the tool (used in Step 2 to check seasonality and interest trends).
  • SellerSprite is a paid toolkit, but it also offers free elements (such as a Chrome extension with basic features and free tool usage quotas). Investing in a comprehensive tool like this can save you countless hours and significantly improve the accuracy of your research. If budget is a concern, remember you can subscribe for a month or two during the intensive research phase, and downgrade or cancel later if you wish. However, many sellers find the ongoing data and tracking features well worth keeping as their business grows.
  • Amazon’s Native Tools: These are free resources provided by Amazon or basic techniques on Amazon’s site:
    • Amazon Search Autocomplete: (Free) As discussed, simply using the search bar suggestions is a quick way to see popular searches.
    • Amazon Best Sellers & Movers & Shakers: (Free) Browsing these lists can spark ideas about what’s trending daily or weekly.
    • Amazon Reviews: (Free) Manually reading reviews or using the “search within reviews” function on product pages can complement the automated review analysis tools.
    • Amazon Seller Central Reports: Once you have a product live, Amazon provides data like search term reports and business reports, but that’s beyond product research – just keep in mind Amazon’s ecosystem itself offers a lot of data.
  • Google Tools: Outside of Amazon, Google’s resources help us tap into broader e-commerce demand.
    • Google Trends: (Free) Use it to observe interest over time for product keywords worldwide or by country. It’s great for identifying seasonal products and avoiding products that might be fads on the decline.
    • Google Keyword Planner (Free with a Google Ads account): While originally designed for advertisers, it provides keyword search volume estimates on Google. It can be helpful in confirming how many people search for a given product name or problem on Google per month. Even without exact numbers, it indicates relative demand (e.g., one term might have twice the search volume of another).
    • General Google Search: (Free) Simply searching your product idea on Google can reveal if people are writing about it on blogs, asking about it in forums, or if it’s being sold on niche websites. This can further validate interest or give you content ideas for marketing later.
  • Etsy: (Free to browse) As described in Step 2, Etsy is a treasure trove for unique product ideas. Use the platform to see what creative products are selling well. You don’t need any paid account to research on Etsy – just use its search and note the “bestseller” tags or high review counts as indicators of popularity.
  • PickFu (or similar polling service): (Paid per poll) For Step 5, a service like PickFu is beneficial. It is a paid service, but relatively affordable—you pay per response or per poll. The insights gained are often worth far more than the cost when they help you avoid a costly mistake or refine a design for better sales. There are alternatives as well, such as user research panels or even running a quick Facebook ad to gauge interest, but PickFu is popular for its speed and ease of use. While SellerSprite doesn’t provide consumer polling (it focuses on market data), using a tool like PickFu alongside SellerSprite’s findings creates a powerful one-two punch: data analysis + honest human feedback.
In keeping with SellerSprite’s branding and approach, our focus is always on data-driven decisions. Every tool or resource suggested above contributes to a fuller picture of the market and reduces reliance on “gut feeling” or guesswork. By utilizing these tools, you are essentially stacking the odds in your favor, replacing uncertainty with information at each step:
  • In Step 1, data from Amazon (via SellerSprite’s product database or Amazon’s own lists) tells you where the demand is.
  • In Step 2, data from Amazon keywords, Google searches, and Etsy trends reveals gaps between demand and supply.
  • In Step 3, data from customer reviews shows you how to build a better solution.
  • In Step 4, data in the form of costs and fees calculates if the opportunity makes financial sense.
  • In Step 5, data from real people’s opinions confirms if your solution is resonating before you fully commit.
Each step involves asking questions and letting the data (or the customer) inform the answer. This is a very professional and systematic approach to product research, and it’s precisely how top Amazon sellers continually find winning products while avoiding most of the flops.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Congratulations on completing a comprehensive deep dive into advanced product research strategies! By now, you should appreciate why product selection is the cornerstone of your Amazon business and feel empowered by the range of tools and techniques at your disposal. It’s normal if it feels like a lot of information – product research is indeed a complex but exciting process. With practice, you’ll become faster and more intuitive at it, especially as you gain confidence in using SellerSprite and interpreting market data.
As you proceed, keep these final motivational pointers in mind:
  • Be Patient and Thorough: It’s far better to spend extra days or weeks finding an excellent product opportunity than to rush into a mediocre one. The research phase can sometimes feel tedious, but remind yourself that every bit of analysis you do now is saving you potential headaches and losses later.
  • Think Like a Customer: Throughout the process, put yourself in the customer’s shoes. What are they searching for? What complaints do they have? What would delight them in a new product? This mindset will keep your research human-centric, not just numbers on a screen.
  • Use Data as Your Guide, Creativity as Your Engine: Data will point you to opportunities, but it’s your creative thinking that will develop a unique product solution. Combine the two. For example, data might show a trend in eco-friendly products, and your creativity helps you design an eco-friendly version of something that currently isn’t.
  • Stay Motivated by the End Goal: Each step in this chapter is building toward one thing – launching a product that can change your life and business. It’s no exaggeration: a single successful product can generate substantial monthly profit and be the stepping stone to a whole brand or line of products. The effort you invest in research is an investment in that future payoff.
