New Marketer Needs Some Knowledge
I am a college student working on a non-profit project. The purpose of the project is to sell products manufacturer by ,otherwise, out of work seamstresses in China. Everything is good except for sales and marketing. The Chinese sales team has not been as successful as they have hoped.
Our physical product is notebooks with a cloth cover. I am hoping that my branch, the American branch, will see much greater success. The main issue I want to work on right now is market research. I want to go after the college demographic. I want to find new designs and test them before ordering shipments from the women in China.
I also want to research whether or not the target demographic cares about the employment problems of Chinese women and whether or not they are capable of empathizing with them.
I want to use Facebook to do my research. However, I know little of facebook apps or app making and I'm still in China so research on Facebook is blocked by filters. I also want to quickly filter through the mmillions oof designs out there to find the best one to reach my demographic. I was hoping someone with great knowledge on the subject could share some to help an up and coming marketer help these people.
Questions in a logical order
Designs:
To save time and headache I want to buy existing designs either intended for notebooks or not.
Where can I browse through many artistic designs to choose one I like?
Is there a website where I can view the demographics and popularity of a design?
Sales estimation:
I must order products before they are sold, orders could take 2-3 weeks to ship from China to my HQ. So, I want to know accurately about how many of each design will sell.
Is there an easy way to make a polling app on facebook?
I know facebook allows polls in feeds or something, but I need a static poll to gather data over the long term and gather lots of it.
I would like to send out a poll to as many people as possible to determine the target demographic and help set the best starting price based on demographic information.
Do other polling applications, websites, etc, exist?
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask or add.
Thank you
