We will most likely use a cluster sampling method in order to evaluate customers' perception about our product and how they feel about it. Also we will evaluate customers demand in order to have a projected idea on how well the product is moving and how satisfied customers are depending on the different areas of South Beach Miami.

Eventually, this will give us an advantage since it is located specifically in the same area as the target market. Such marketing evaluation will tell us how well the introduction of the product is doing and if there is anything that will require a revision of our product. Also it will help us determine if we can continue with it or just cut it.
