competitive landscape

Know your
competition

Knowing your competition before breaking into a marketplace is essential. Think: global brands considering US entry, start-ups, or established brands assessing opportunities in a newly considered category.

You need to know how strong your competition is – in terms of brand equity and customer loyalty – and how open consumers are to trying a new product. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the players in your category, as a new brand you can determine how to differentiate yourself, and what white space opportunities exist.
