What is the best way to conduct market research for a computer repair business?

Me and a friend are considering starting our own computer repair business, however we'd like to carry out some market research before deciding to invest any money. The only strategy we have thought of so far is to stand in a crowded shopping mall and ask people to complete a survey but we doubt this will be effective.





I would appreciate any suggestions on other types of market research or confirmation that surveying is a good method and also how many people we should survey to make our data credible.

Have you ever heard of The Local Index? It’s a new site that provides local businesses a free website to showcase their products %26amp; services. It works like myspace but for local businesses. I think it would be a great way for you to get the exposure that you are looking for. They also have a contact Importer to import current customers to your new store, with announcements to keep them updated on your business. Local Business events, networking events and a whole lot more.





The Goal of this site is to reintroduce the concept of local businesses to consumers as the hip, hot new thing. Instead of Pizza Hut, Walmart, Circuit City and Etc.

What's that. A few times a year.
Reply:I strongly prefer a circumcised penis for anything sexual, in fact I am very turned off by the uncircumcised penis and have not done anything beyond a handjob with a guy who has one. Circumcision makes the penis MUCH more appealing for all sexual activities, but especially for giving bjs, because that way you can see the whole head and know that he is clean. I also much prefer a circum penis for straight intercourse because you can feel the hard ridge of his penis head. I have not (and don't plan to) have sex with an uncircum guy, but I have heard the feeling is less satisfying because the skin gets in the way and dulls the sensations for both of you.

I don't usually talk to my best friend on the phone. Coz I see her everyday at school. So that sorta answers your second question. If i did talk on the phone, we would probably run out of things to talk about coz we see each other alot at school and talk then.





Hope I've been of some help.

Reply:Are you trying to gather data to generate a statistical sample on which to run some figures?





I'd answer but you have to ask a question that makes sense...





Are you asking the number of cell minutes used in a day?
