Use these steps in analyzing your creative ideas to make sure they are the best options for your marketing strategy.
A study shows that if you develop an original thought or idea, the chances are that someone else also has thought about it. It doesn’t mean that they’ve implemented it or used it yet; it just means that there’s a possibility it’s not 100% original . Still, finders keepers, and he who implements it first gets to be the rightful owner of it. In that case, you should do some research and look up your idea if anyone else has already done it. If not, then you should determine if it will add value in the long run. On the other hand, if someone or some company has already implemented your creative idea before, then you should check how it impacted them and if yours can be better.
If you don’t know where to start, you can begin by determining your strengths and weaknesses.

You can also see if the idea that you already came up with leans towards your strengths more. Of course, every idea needs to be challenged by others.
