Hi,
I'm new here and I am doing marketing research for my company, and I wanted to know where I could find specific information about the web design market. For example, how big is the market? I would need specific numbers. Are there any sites out there than will have the info? Any help would be appreciated. |

Thanks Green eagle. I am beginning to think that this question can't be answered. I just wonder how a lot of these web firms are creating their marketing and business plans without this information.

I am booked for 3 months solid right now. It seems to me that the best way to go is pick a market niche and beat that drum, instead of trying to serve everyone.
With my engineering and oil industry background, it is easy to walk into an oil industry presidents office, interface with engineered products manufacturing company owners and so on. I recently turned down on-line casino's and porn sites for several reasons... Here's a list of web marketing forums you might find useful though: 1. Moderated discussion forum at: http://williecrawford.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi 2. The Internet Marketing Warriors Forum. http://www.warriorpro.com/cgi-bin/w.cgi?2602 3. Anthony Blakes Entrepreneurial Success Forum Tony gets 4.8 million page views a month. http://www.ablake.net/forum/ 4. Louis Allports http://www.infoprofitstalk.com/index.php?referrerid=98 5. Michael Green's "How To" Internet Marketing Forum. http://www.howtocorp.com/cgi-bin/web...nfig.pl/#11189 6. Jim Daniels, Internet Marketing Info Board. http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/184615 7.

I don't know if this will be any help to you. It is research done about the internet, who uses it, and why.

Hi Tiffany,
our colleagues are right, it is not easy to do such market research, but it is not impossible either. You can pursue different ways to gage the market. One is purchase the information:
You can also purchase market publications that give you all kinds of financial figures in different industries. I'm not sure if web design is regarded as an industry of it's own. Those publications can usually be used at a good public library. A city like Washington DC may have a special business library (like Boston has). Another option might be the library of a business school in your area. Go there, contact the librarian and tell her/him what you are looking for. They can help you! They can also help you to find a list of trade organizations (national and local), that are relevant to the industry you are looking for. Contact the trade organizations. They usually collect information regarding their member firms and this allows you to estimate the market size and growth rates. The chamber of commerce (locally and by state or nationally) can also be a source of information. They might have figures about how many companies of what size have or have not a web page and what they are planning to invest into it over the next 12/24 month. I hope this gives you some pointers. It is hard work to find this kind of specific information. K<o> |
