Assume yourself as a Marketing Specialist of a Company and Determine the New Product Development Process by manufacturing a New Product for your company.

Assuming my company produces body care products and decides to introduce a new product-a toothbrush, the development process would involve:

1. Idea Generation:

It smbegins with an idea or imagination of what the ideal toothbrush would be, what problem would it solve for consumers. The idea could be random or it could be as a result of an identified need.

2. Idea Evaluation:

Remember, it is one thing to have an idea but another to have an idea that would work. Therefore, quality time would be taken to separate workable ideas about the ideal toothbrush from bad ones. This idea evaluation process is a very useful stage in the product development process.

3. Concept Development and Testing:

Remember, testing the concept about the new toothbrush allows for an expanded idea. The prototype of the toothbrush would be tested with consumers to find out whether the idea is worth the effort. Their feedback would be noted to improve the product further.

4. Marketing strategy

5. Final Product development
