Gain an edge by developing one new habit—watching your wedding business competition.

You want to be better than your competition. You want to be viewed as the best in town. But how can you accomplish this if you don’t know what the competition is doing? The following activities will help you gather a well-rounded report on your competitors.

• Visit their website to learn about marketing strategies, personnel, and future plans.
• Visit their store to see their products, sales, and deals and get ideas for your own store.
• Order their brochure or newsletter to understand how they are marketing themselves.
• Sign up for their loyalty program to see what their customers receive from them.
• Do an online search to find articles, blogs, and reviews.
• Read their ads to understand their promotional patterns.
• Like their Facebook page to get updates and see how they engage people in social media.
• Ask around to find out what people think of your competitors.

The more you learn about your competitors, the better decisions you’ll be able to make. You can price your product more intelligently, learn what prospects like and dislike, and negotiate with an edge.

When you’re meeting with a prospect, you can tell them how your competitors are priced, what kind of customer service they offer, and what kind of reviews they are getting. With this information you can make them a better deal than anyone else and close the sale.

Knowledge of your competitors can help in numerous ways, but only if you keep up on it. You can’t base your competitive edge on information you gained last year, so be sure to stay on top of it weekly.

Have a great week, and keep your eye trained on the competition!

Sincerely,

Chris Evans
