Market research and advertising

[lunch_owl]

Hi everybody! My name is Adam and i just became a member here. I am a norwood 7 who is going to do a HT soon. However my purpose with this post is to find out if it is possible to do a market research here? The reason is that i am very strongly thinking of starting a company that has to do with HT and will make it a alot more easier and much less time consuming for people who are subject to hairloss and are looking for a clinik that suits them. So my main questions is: Is it possible to advertise my future company here and do some market research before? Or is it not allowed?

Thanks in advance // Adam

so you want to be a HT advisor/mentor/influencer yet you haven't even gotten a HT yet?

you most definitely need to experience the journey before deciding to make a living in it. 

You also need to make sure your ht is a success. No one is going to take your HT biz seriously if you yourself have a shoddy procedure.

i don't think they allow links here aside from youtube or this forum itself. and i don't think you'd be the first to think of this, and the forum itself has affiliates / sponsor, so i doubt it'd be allowed. i'm not the mods though, you'll have to wait for a reply / message from melvin.

imo you don't need to have HT in order to help sell/connect people to HT, but it is way harder to convince people if you do not have a good head of hair. afterall, people would think "why don't this guy get one if his surgeons are so good?". i think depend on what question you ask, market research is ok? after all we did have a poll here of wheter people are satisfied with their HT, and some threads where people weigh one surgeon against another.

No I want to be none of that. My goal is to simplify things for those who are looking to get it done. I think that I can contribute to the HT world in a good and effective way.

Ok thx. I would ask questions regarding what could be better, what kind of questions they ask during the consultation etc.

I will get one done myself within 4 months and post it here to contribute to the community.

I have been researching on and off for a couple of years. Just scratching the surface. Its lately the last couple of months i have been doing som deeper research and thats how i found this site. I would love to share the pictures but i think its off topic if i post it here, isnt it? Maybe in another thread? I am thinking of a few like Eugenix and Dr Pitella to name a couple. Btw im following your journey, amazing results!

Hi, this forum is fantastic and the link you you sent was great. Very well done. I am not doing anything that is similar to this imo. But this is probably the best site i have seen so far. Congrats! Also, thank you for clearing it up.
