When I launched my retail business three years ago, I was convinced that our special products would be enough. I dismissed market research as superfluous – a choice that almost destroyed my entire company.
Helping a restaurant chain, we created a content strategy that integrated cultural elements with global standards, resulting in interaction levels two hundred eighteen percent higher than their former method.
Not long ago, I watched as three similar businesses invested heavily into growing their operations on a specific social media platform. Their attempts were unsuccessful as the platform proved to be a bad match for our market.
What surprised me most during my investigation was the substantial variation in costs for seemingly identical services. Monthly retainers ranged from 2,500 SAR to over 15,000 SAR with little clarification for the differences.

I currently use several applications that have substantially enhanced our competitor analysis:
* Search analysis platforms to track rivals' keyword performance
* Mention tracking software to monitor rivals' digital footprint

* Reduced rivalry during religious periods with steady conversion rates

* Seasonal variations demanding investment changes during Ramadan
* School schedule impacts on particular industries
