Hi all

Just wondering if any of you could spare a bit of your time to offer some help/advice.

I am in the early stages of planning a business based around offering a service to events where a number of people are gathered. So like a wedding or a corporate event.

Thing is, I want to do some market research on the idea to see if it has legs. I am just struggling a little with how to conduct the research on my target market, I mean, its not like I can buy a list of who is going to be married in the next 6 months (or can I!?!?!) and somehow contact them to run my idea past them. Similarly (sp?), for corporate gatherings, who organises these, as they are my target market, is it PAs at the firms, or do most events get staged by an external third party?

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS. Just had a thought right now...wedding websites...they may have email lists that have agreed to opt in to be contacted about services, off to investigate.....
