Ready to better understand what it takes to evaluate laundromat competition in your area? Want to identify them and know how cater to your current and potential customers in a way that keeps them coming back to you? Below, you'll find that and more!
In the beginning, make a list of every laundromat within a 50 mile radius of your business. Be sure to include their name, address and other vital information. Then, Google each and every business. Print out information or jot it down in a notebook so that you'll have everything you need to move on.
Next, consider the following tips to help you get a good idea of what your competitors are doing so that you will be direct competition for them.
Once you've googled all the businesses, go beyond that. Visit each of their websites and use other websites like Yelp, Foursquare and more. You can also set up Google alerts and take a look at Google trends.
Consider tracking your competition's analytics. It's a great way to see where they are in the market and what they're doing for customers. You can use websites like ReferenceUSA, Alexa, Compete and Hoovers.
Take a look at their social media, as well. Make sure you know exactly what networks they're using and how they're using these tools as marketing aids. Don't forget Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These are the most popular ways to market your business through social media. Monitor their tweets and Facebook posts daily. Also be sure to take a look at online reviews, as well.
Talk with your customers about competition in the area. Ask them if they've ever used those businesses and why they did or didn't choose to continue using them. If they switched to your business instead, ask them what convinced them to make the change. Talking with your customers is a great way to get good information that is honest and free.
In order to be direct competition to businesses within your area, you have to understand their marketing strategies. That way, you can stand out and become the business that customers continue coming to time and time again.
Make sure you know who your competitors are, vital information about their businesses, and have a complete understanding of their products and services as well as how they're marketing their business. All of these things will help you better understand competition, in general.
