Tracking Your Competitors

Competition is created by similar businesses in the same industry, providing the same basic service or product, fighting to win the loyalty of the same customer base. Performing a competitor analysis is when you track different factors of your rival businesses to learn from both their strengths and weaknesses.

The information gained from the analysis ultimately strengthens your organization. You have more insight into what tools, resources, and operational factors are bringing in and keeping customers.

What are the pricing margins for successful companies in your industry? What type of location has proven most successful in your industry? Will expansion hurt or help your business?
