Market and Competitor Analysis

Our Competitor Market Intelligence services can give you information on all the latest changes and updates to pricing, propositions and promotions.

It’s essential to have accurate, timely and detailed understanding of how your competitors are pricing their offers, and what is motivating their strategy. You can’t invest in marketing without it. 

Our Competitor Market Intelligence services provides news and analysis on the latest market changes, updates to pricing, propositions and promotions, regulatory changes and competitor quarterly results.

Our strategic partnership with Bigupdata means that we can give clients direct access to the latest price and offer changes almost as soon as they are published online. This covers handset pricing, promotions and offers from all the networks and MVNOs, as well as updates on new tariffs and propositions.

Plus, our pricing and proposition experts use their 20+ years experience to review the data and provide informed analysis, and actionable insight, in the form of a weekly report.

This allowing clients to make the right marketing decisions to grow market share, protect the customer base, or update tariffs to increase perceived value.

The services are modular, allowing you to build a suite of reporting that reflects your target markets and key competitors.

Services include:

  • Daily updates on handset pricing, changes to tariffs and promotions through a digital report or dashboard
  • Weekly summary updates of pricing changes, key market news and analysis of the impact this will have on your target market
  • Quarterly strategic reviews giving you face to face time with analysts and a detailed review and recommendations of actions to take over the next quarter
  • Analysis, commentary and impact assessments of quarterly results from key competitors or any major proposition or regulatory changes
  • iPhone announcements service, reviewing the impact of new technology announcements and tracking the launch pricing
  • Weekly “promoted deals” analysis highlighting key offers in store and promoted in press
