Finding the strengths and weaknesses of the competition allows one to market business more effectively, gain market share and increase client retention

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, May 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SayWhat Consulting, LLC recently released part 8 of the 10 part blog series labeled “The Top 10 Small Business Marketing Mistakes.” Analyzing competitors gives businesses a distinct advantage over its competition and allows it to improve its marketing, customer service, internal operations and business growth. The value of understanding the competition is often overlooked by business owners who do not realize the potential impact it can have on their business. A properly performed competitor analysis is one of the most important aspects of any business growth strategy. It gives business owners detailed insight into their competition’s marketing tactics and effectiveness, customer satisfaction along with key metrics on what their biggest struggles are, operational inefficiencies, employee turnover and satisfaction along with pinpointing its own potential weaknesses. If a business does not understand its competition, it will be difficult to differentiate themselves to potential clients.

This blog examines the details of how to perform a well-researched and effective competitor analysis with the end goal of growing revenues and marketing strengths compared to the competition’s weaknesses. Numerous topics are reviewed in detail which include exactly how a business should identify who their competition is, a list of 10 examples of how to identify their strengths and weaknesses and developing a plan to use their weaknesses to the advantage. Also reviewed is the importance of knowing the vulnerabilities of business and doing everything possible to fix those as well as recognizing that the competition is likely using the same tactics.

Properly performed and evaluated – a competitor analysis provides a plethora of information that can play a major role in the marketing of a business and deliver them a distinct competitive advantage. “Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your competition allows you to market your business more effectively” says David Phillips, CEO and Founder of SayWhat Consulting “and gives you the ability to tailor your marketing to highlight your strengths while subtly showcasing their weaknesses.”

It is also frequent for businesses to discover new competition they were never aware of. A newly established business can gain market share with a strong marketing campaign and develop themselves as experts despite having minimal experience - without a business recognizing the potential vulnerability. “A new company with a better website and marketing can easily establish themselves as the authority business in the area” says David Phillips, CEO and Founder of SayWhat Consulting “despite your business being the actual authority.” These vulnerabilities are easy to prevent with a properly performed competitor analysis.
