The steps to set up a process for providing comprehensive pricing comparison services are:
1) Identify Key Competitors:
The first step is to identify the key competitors in the market. This can be done by conducting market research and analysing industry trends to determine who the major players are.
2) Gathering pricing information
Is a critical step in the process of providing comprehensive pricing comparison services. Once competitors have been identified, it is important to collect data on their pricing strategies for products or services, promotions, promotions cycle, discounts and discounts cycle. This data is typically collected on a daily basis to ensure that it remains up to date and accurate.
However, simply collecting data on competitors’ pricing strategies may not be enough. It is important to also consider other factors that may impact pricing, such as weather events, sport events, holidays, geography, and proximity to competitors. For example, if a company operates in an area that is prone to extreme weather events, this may impact their pricing strategy. Similarly, if a company is located in close proximity to a major competitor, analysing the data need to reflect the close proximity.
By collecting and analysing data on these factors, companies can develop a more comprehensive understanding of the market and make more informed pricing decisions. This can help them to stay ahead of the competition by developing pricing strategies that are competitive and profitable. The data collected in this step is typically used in conjunction with other data sets to provide a more complete picture of the market and competitors.
3) Analysing the Data:
Once the pricing information has been gathered, it is important to analyse the data to uncover trends, patterns, and opportunities. This step involves using various analytical tools and techniques to identify key insights and make data-driven decisions. the data can be placed in your BI and/or AI tools. or it can be presented in our preferred BI and AI tools, like Zoho Analytics. Pricing data is the ability to identify new products or services that competitors are adding. By tracking changes in pricing for existing products, companies can detect when competitors introduce new products or services to the market. This information can be used to inform strategic decisions such as whether to launch a similar product or service, adjust pricing on existing products, or develop a new pricing strategy.
Similarly, analysing pricing data can reveal patterns around special bundle offerings or promotions that competitors are using to attract customers. This information can be used to inform decisions around developing promotional campaigns or adjusting pricing strategies to remain competitive.
In addition to uncovering trends and patterns, analysing pricing data can also help companies identify key decision-making movements among competitors. For example, if a competitor raises their prices on a particular product, this may indicate that they are experiencing supply chain issues or that demand for the product is increasing. Understanding these types of movements can help companies stay ahead of the competition by adapting their own pricing strategies accordingly.
Overall, analysing pricing data is a critical step in the process of providing comprehensive pricing comparison services. By uncovering key insights and trends, companies can make more informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition. Our experience has shown that this step is particularly valuable in identifying new products, analysing bundle offerings, and understanding key decision-making movements among competitors.
