Competition can be tiring and downright frustrating, but it’s a given in the food and bev retail hustle. Now, you aren’t going let that slow you down, are you? Nope, didn’t think so. Instead, use the competitive landscape to your advantage. How?
Spend less time simply tracking metrics without a game plan, and more time winning by making your competitive landscape analysis more efficient. Focus on the factors matter, and you’ll come out on the other side with fewer headaches and more valuable information to form a smart strategy.
Of course that's easier said than done. Knowing where to spend your time and how best to differentiate your brand from your competors is another challenge altogether. A great place to start is by running a competitive landscape analysis. I know what you're thinking - but even though it doesn't sound like fun, it's really not so complicated.
