• Market information: This section will describe the information you collect on the target audience. This is important because it can reveal opportunities for you to win customers from competitors. For the Marketing Strategy, review and summarize how your competitors are using social media channels and web pages. Pay close attention to pages where competitors are mentioned, identify and label social media channels, for example, LinkedIn targets professionals. In addition, document the brand messaging and the tone used for social media (this information can help you to refine your brand messaging).
• Market Share: This section of your paper will provide a competitive analysis and should discuss your share of the market and your competitor’s share of the market, and should be presented in percentages. What are your competitor’s strengths and weaknesses? Of greater importance, discuss ways you can take advantage of identified weaknesses. A consensus exists that businesses should place emphasis on their own share of the market and it is important to mention that a watchful eye on competitors market share could prove insightful.
