I have a kind of a wallet (Think EDC market and similar) in preparation - I have basic concept, 3D model and now I need to figure out if there's a need for this specific variation in the market.
How do I do this to not mess it up?
  1. A landing page and some FB paid ads - but if it does poorly, how do I know I just didn't mess up my target audience? This is usually something that takes a lot of time and money to figure out
  2. Ask in EDC facebook groups / subreddit [here's the catch - I KNOW there are a lot of companies in these communities - I know that "somone will steal my idea is a cliche, but still I think it's a reasonable thing to worry about here].
Two things though:
They might love it and never buy it in the end or they might not like the idea, but if it was made it would actually gain some traction - how do I know if it's one or the other?

As far as physical product business - I am really new to it, sold only digital one before this. Any help / suggestion would be appreciated :)
