When considering the factors that are important to new product success, the following options from your list are typically significant:
-
Effective transitions from idea to market - Success often hinges on how well a company can move from the conceptual stage of a product to launching it in the market.
-
Effective product design - A well-designed product that meets user needs and preferences can greatly influence its success in the marketplace.
-
Offering superior customer value - Products that provide superior value to customers—whether through quality, price, features, or benefits—are more likely to succeed.
The other factors you mentioned—complete brand awareness among all market segments and high production costs—are generally less critical or can even be counterproductive. Complete brand awareness may help, but it is not necessarily essential for a new product to be successful. High production costs can hinder success, as they may lead to higher retail prices, potentially reducing the product's market competitiveness.
In summary, the most important factors for new product success from your list are:
- Effective transitions from idea to market
- Effective product design
- Offering superior customer value
