It’s a challenge for any business to stay on top of their competitive market. That’s why it’s important to know what your competitors are offering that compete with your business, what their price point is, how they’re reaching their target market (and yours) and how they set themselves apart in the market. To stay competitive, you need to keep an eye on your competitors and learn how to market against them.
How competitive research helps your company grow
Whether you do an in-depth dive into the different marketing tactics of your competitors, or do a more basic overview of each, you should have a feel overall about who they are, what they offer, what their pricing is, and how they market themselves. You also need to know how you stack up to your competitors through your SWOT analysis. Having such insights will help you better prepare to compete against any competitor of any size in your market and adjust your messaging accordingly. You can play up your strengths against what your competition offers and downplay those components where they excel over your company.
