💌 Competitor research is important so you can determine how to stand out.
To understand your competition, start with a Google search using terms your customers might use to find their products. List down the top ten competitors to see who you're up against. Check out their websites to learn what they sell, how much they charge, and how they describe their products to attract buyers. Take a look at their social media to see how active they are and how they connect with their audience. Sign up for their newsletters with a separate email to look at their marketing emails and sales tactics. Also, use reviews to see how you can make a better product.
