Test marketing is the process of introducing new products into a specific geographic area to simulate the process of a full-scale product launch. Typically, cities are chosen based on factors like media activity, market size, and demographics. Sometimes, multiple test market locations are selected to test out different promotional strategies, pricing methods, and advertising to determine the best method prior to a bigger release.
