How to do Competitor Analysis - InvestmentGuru - 01-01-2024

Competitor analysis involves studying businesses, products, or services that could pose a threat or competition in the future. Here's a simple 4-step guide on how to do it:
  1. Identify Competitors:
    • Find out who your actual competitors are. If you're launching toothpaste, another toothpaste company in your city is a potential competitor.
    • Identify competitors in your local market, community, advertising, and both organic and paid search.
  2. Create Competitor Profiles:
    • Once you've found your competitors, create profiles for them.
    • Include details like their history, company bio, market share, and target audience.
  3. Analyze Their Strategies:
    • Dive deeper into your competitors. Learn about their strategies in product development, marketing, promotion, and advertising.
    • Understand how they operate in the market.
  4. Develop Your Strategy:
    • Based on what you've learned about your competitors, devise your own strategy.
    • Implement the insights you've gained to perform better in the future.
This simple process helps you understand your competition and make informed decisions to stay ahead in the market.
