New Market Entry Feasibility & Pricing Survey
Assesses whether a new geography or segment is ready for your offering — measuring category awareness, what people currently use instead, how locked in they are to it, and what they'd expect to pay. An AI follow-up digs into the real switching barrier behind any hesitation, surfacing contract, trust, or workflow obstacles a closed-ended scale would miss.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Before today, had you heard of (Replace with your brand/product name)? (Template note: replace with the specific brand being tested for this market.)
- Never heard of it
- Heard the name but know little
- Somewhat familiar
- Very familiar, know what it does
What do you currently use to handle (Replace with the job-to-be-done, e.g., 'cross-border payments')?
- (Replace with Competitor A)
- (Replace with Competitor B)
- (Replace with Competitor C)
- In-house / manual process
- A generic tool not built for this
- We don't currently address this need
In the last 3 months, how well has your current approach met your needs?
Rank these factors by how much they'd influence your choice of a solution in this category (top = most influential).
- Price
- Ease of switching / setup time
- Reliability or accuracy
- Customer support
- Integration with tools we already use
- Brand trust / reputation
How likely are you to switch away from your current approach in the next 12 months, regardless of what replaces it?
Probe the real barrier behind their switching likelihood score. If low, find out whether it's contract lock-in, cost of change, distrust of new entrants, lack of a compelling alternative, or something else — anchor on their current approach named earlier. If high, find out what would need to be true for them to actually pull the trigger, and whether they've looked at alternatives already. If they mention a specific past bad experience switching tools, ask what happened.
Now think about a new solution like this one for (Replace with category).
- At what monthly price would this be so cheap you'd question its quality or reliability?
- At what monthly price would this be a bargain — great value for the money?
- At what monthly price would this start to feel expensive, though you'd still consider it?
- At what monthly price would this be so expensive you would not consider it at all?
How much do you agree with each statement about a new entrant in this category?
- I'd trust a new provider to protect my data
- Switching providers would disrupt my day-to-day work
- I'd need approval from others before switching
- A new option would need to be noticeably cheaper to win my business
- I'm open to trying a newer, less established provider
Based on what you know so far, how likely would you be to try (Replace with brand/product name) if it launched in your market?
Which best describes your organization's size?
- 1-10 employees
- 11-50 employees
- 51-200 employees
- 201-1000 employees
- 1000+ employees
- Prefer not to say
Which region best describes where you're based?
- (Replace with Region A)
- (Replace with Region B)
- (Replace with Region C)
- Other
- Prefer not to say

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Combines behavioral questions (current tool, switching likelihood, lock-in) with Van Westendorp pricing analysis and a ranking exercise, so both willingness-to-pay and decision drivers are captured in one flow
- Uses an AI follow-up interview step that adaptively probes the real barrier behind a low switching-likelihood score — surfacing contract, trust, or workflow objections a static scale can't reach
- Segments respondents by org size and region up front, so feasibility signals can be cut by the market slices that matter for a go/no-go call
- Closes with an automated report positioned to feed directly into a market-entry decision, rather than leaving raw scale data for manual analysis
Typeform
Market Segmentation Survey TemplateA general-purpose market segmentation template aimed at grouping respondents by demographics and needs rather than testing entry feasibility or pricing for a specific offering. It's a fielding-ready static form with Typeform's usual conversational UI, but it doesn't include a pricing module or a mechanism for digging into why someone would or wouldn't switch. Useful as a segmentation starting point, but a team would need to build out pricing and switching-barrier questions themselves.
What it does well
- Clean, well-tested Typeform UI known for high completion rates
- Ready-to-use template that can be launched quickly without custom build
- Good for basic demographic/needs-based segmentation
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up — all questions are fixed at design time, so nuanced switching-barrier reasons go uncaptured
- No built-in pricing methodology (e.g., Van Westendorp) for feasibility/pricing decisions
- No published scoring or quality-check methodology for responses
QuestionPro
Supermarket Shopping Attitudes Survey TemplateThis is a category-specific attitudes survey about supermarket shopping behavior, not a general new-market-entry or pricing feasibility instrument — it's included as the closest comparable QuestionPro offers for consumer market research. It's a static, fielding-ready questionnaire covering shopping habits and preferences, but it isn't structured around testing a new offering's viability or price point in a new segment. Teams evaluating true market entry would need a different template or heavy customization.
What it does well
- Ready-made questionnaire covering shopping attitudes and habits
- Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform and analytics tools
- Easy to deploy for descriptive consumer research
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI probing — follow-up depth depends entirely on pre-written branching logic, not real-time reasoning
- No pricing-sensitivity methodology built in for feasibility/pricing decisions
- No transparent, publishable prompt logic since there's no AI interview component
