Idea Validation & Research

- Know Your Target Audience
Thermos stainless steel container boasts a variety of target audiences ranging from office workers, drivers, travellers… To be honest, this business nearly covers all groups of customers as everyone need such a container for meal & hydration. So you can put this question aside carefreely.
- How Much Will Your Audiences Pay for Them
Pricing is an unavoidable issue for your business. The proper pricing is conducive to attracting attention. Keep in mind that most of your audiences will not buy something that is too expensive or too cheap. So, keep it moderate.
- How Big Is the Metal Container Market
Luckily, the market is still big enough for you!

A common thermos stainless steel container may not be appealing enough to catch customers’ eyes, which means you need to pay attention to custom options such as custom tooling enclosure.
