What is BIPC Bitesize?

Today’s Topic:

Quality market research can be the difference between your business succeeding or struggling, whether you are just starting out or already established – but it needn’t cost a lot. In this BIPC Bitesize session, market research expert Natasha McDonough will guide you through how to conduct your own market research, including creating your own surveys. We will also be sharing tips on where to find the best secondary market research through easy-to-access databases and websites.
