Competitive Analysis

Your prospective customers have choices. Your offering will never be the only solution to their problem. It will never be the only way to satisfy their wants and needs. The better you understand your prospect's choices and how they are perceived by your prospect, the more effectively you can determine how to present your offering at its best advantage.

Competitive Analysis Defined

Competitive analysis is the process of identifying, researching, and comparing alternatives that your prospective customer would consider along with your offering.

Businesses use competitive intelligence to:

  • identify an offering's weaknesses
  • to understand product differentiators
  • to evaluate feature investments
  • to determine product and business strategies

Unlike traditional competitive analyses that view the competitive field from your business' vantage point, Applied Product Marketing's competitive intelligence takes your prospect's point of view. This approach to competitive analysis gives you a true perspective of how your product and your company compare in a marketplace full of alternatives. It also uncovers opportunities for you to differentiate your product offerings to achieve competitive advantage.
