Your Competition
1. What is
competition for your products and services? (brand/company/market share) 2. How does your product stand in relation to competitors? 3. Which competitors pose
greatest threat? Why? 4. Are there important differences between your products and services, and those of
competition? 5. How do your competitors differ in their advertising and marketing strategies? Price? 6. Have all possible brand positions been covered, or is there a unique niche for your product? 7. What is
size of
overall market in units and dollars?
Your Target Market
1. Who will buy your products and services? (demographics) 2. Who influences buying? 3. Who will actually be using your products and services? 4. Who are
heavy users of your products and services? 5. Why would someone choose not to buy your products and services? (price, lack of awareness, etc.) 6. What kind of emotional sell would motivate someone to buy your products and services? (prestige, security, etc.)
Finally, ask yourself again:
1. What are you selling?
2. What is unique about what you sell -- or how you sell it? What do you offer that your competition doesn't?
3. How can you describe
answers to
above questions in one tight, persuasive line?
Your objective should be to establish your business as a lighthouse beacon sweeping across
darkness of
Internet. You are
expert in your field ready and waiting to solve your customer's problems. You have all
right solutions, and your success will be theirs, too. Clarify who you are first, and every marketing step you make from now on will be targeted like a laser beam.
