Remodeling: We Do It Every Day

Competitive Market Analysis

Purpose:

  • Learn who your competitors are and how they work
  • Learn what differentiates you from others in the market
  • Make possible adjustments to pricing, value propositions, or service offerings

Procedure:

  • Find a copy of your latest local yellow pages directory
  • Make an outline of all of the “major competitors” in the area
  • Look at each major competitor’s ad-document information found in each ad (ie. Special services, licensing, warranties, length of time in business, etc.)
  • Prepare a list of basic questions that will help you learn more about each of these businesses (have a couple of projects as if you’re a prospective client-mystery shopping)
  • Call each company and ask them your list of questions
  • Document findings on each company
  • Write up a summary of the findings from your research including what the others in the market have to offer and what differentiates you from others
  • Share the results with everyone on your team
  • Repeat every six months
