The product life cycle traditionally consists of four stages: Introduction, Growth, Maturity and Decline. According to MarketResearch.com's blog post, when introducing a new product to market, you need market research to help make the decisions surrounding where your product will go and how it will get there; who is going to buy it; how much you are going to charge for it; and, most importantly, if anyone is going to want to purchase your product at all.

During the Growth stage, organizations will need to begin asking new questions in order to expand as well as examine new competitors, new potential markets and any changes in brand image. Once your product hits maturity, your momentum will either climax or plateau. In order to help push your product to reach further success, you should focus your research efforts on competitive intelligence in hopes of acquiring some of their customer base.

As your product or service begins to decline from the height of its success, your organization should assess a plan to pivot your product or business strategy. Determining what changes may positively impact your sales and analyzing your customers' sensitivity to change will help with the potential to revamp revenue.
