Demand
I WANT IT!
What is Demand?
The desire of buyers for a particular item. The demand is like how many people want the item. Many stores have to think about demand when they're releasing a new item.
Why is Demand important?
Demand is important, because businesses need to know what the demand for an upcoming product will be like, so they'll know about how much they need to make. Once they find out an estimated demand then that's when supply comes in.
