Competitor Analysis - Implications to Your Business

When you have completed your Competitor Analysis, it's time to analyse the implications of the information you have found.   An analysis of the information will allow you to develop strategies to deal with areas in which your competitors excel and will ensure you are able to also capitalise on areas in which they have found to be lacking. 

 

It's great to speak with customers of your competitors so you can ascertain exactly what they expect, and what they are not receiving in terms of products or services within the marketplace.  You can then capitalise on these gaps and ensure you meet the specified needs as best you can within your business offering. 

 

Complete the following table for each of the competitors you have analysed within your targeted marketplace.
