Why Should You Conduct A Competitor Analysis?
It’s important to know what your competitors are doing, so you understand either what is required to be the best (#1), or what you can do differently to make yourself stand out (differentiation). It's also vital that you keep your finger on the pulse in terms of market changes and consumer trends.
Things in business are always changing; that’s why it's so important to stay in the loop by regularly conducting a competitor analysis.
Importance of Competitor Analysis
When conducting your competitor analysis, we suggest you use a structured template to capture the essential details of your competitors so that you can gain better insights into the marketing landscape of your industry. This will help you make informed decisions as to how you can improve your marketing strategy.
More importantly, the data you acquire from your competitive analysis will help you focus on key areas that will improve your sales and create value to the bottom line.
