A group of entrepreneurial friends were in various stages of the new product development process. Mark was just starting out by trying to come up with possible ideas for a new company.  Myles ordered 250 of his newly designed razors and began selling them in one small market to see what shoppers thought.  If it went well, he would order more and expand to other regions.  Meredith had many ideas so she was asking her friends for their opinions to see which ones were really good that she can move forward with (and which were bad, so she could eliminate from consideration).  Maria was in the process of creating a potential promotional campaign for when her product launches over the summer.     Who is in the test marketing stage?
