Panel research gives you access to the thoughts and experiences of a large number of potential consumers, or existing ones. Ask them to answer to a survey on an old or new product and use the information well. If they look for a specific feature, find out if it can be included in the next version of the product. If there are features in the current version that are questioned, improve them or replace them with something better next time.
