When I launched my e-commerce business three years ago, I was sure that our unique products would stand out naturally. I dismissed market research as unnecessary – a decision that nearly ruined my entire venture.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a global lifestyle business, we developed a positioning methodology that truthfully aligned with established home beliefs while preserving their global attraction. This strategy improved their product meaningfulness by 173%.
|
||||||

I spend at least two hours each regularly reviewing our competitors':
|
||||||
|
* Online structure and UX
|
||||||
|
* Blog posts and content calendar
|
||||||
|
* Online platforms activity
|
||||||
|
* Client testimonials and ratings
|
||||||
|
* Keyword tactics and performance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

A few weeks ago, my friend's online shop was struggling in search results despite selling excellent products. After applying the techniques I'm about to share, his organic traffic increased by 164% in just eight weeks.

Important support aspects to consider for positioning:

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* Complete difficulty elimination requirement
|
||||||
|
* Position acknowledgment during service delivery
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I now employ several tools that have substantially improved our competitive research:
|
||||||
|
* SEO tools to track competitors' SEO strategies
|
||||||
|
* Brand monitoring tools to follow competition's social activity
|
||||||
|
* Digital tracking solutions to observe updates to their digital properties
|
||||||
|
* Newsletter subscription to receive their campaigns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start by identifying ALL your rivals – not just the obvious ones. In our research, we discovered that our most significant competitor wasn't the well-known business we were watching, but a emerging startup with an unique model.

|

Important status aspects to evaluate for differentiation:

|
||||||

Recently, I witnessed as three similar businesses poured resources into growing their operations on a particular social media platform. Their initiatives were unsuccessful as the platform proved to be a poor fit for our market.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
||||||
|
* Contextual modification rather than direct translation
|
||||||
|

||||||
|

Six months into business, our conversions were underwhelming. It wasn't until I chanced upon a thorough study about our market sector that I understood how ignorant I'd been to the market realities around us.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

I use a basic spreadsheet to record our competitors' pricing adjustments every week. This recently enabled us to:
|
||||||
|
* Identify seasonal price reductions
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* Grasp their value positioning
|
||||||
|

|
Their approach included:

|
||||||
|
* Business platforms: Credential-focused material
|
||||||
|
* Instagram: Experience-centered identity narrative
|
||||||
|
* Conversation platforms: Perspective sharing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Successful methods included:
|
||||||
|
* Industry reports with regionally-focused statistics
|
||||||
|
* Management discussions with prominent Saudi authorities
|
||||||
|
* Case studies from local projects
|
||||||
|
* Online seminars exploring Saudi-specific concerns
|
||||||
