Why Do You Need a Competitive Analysis?
- Their weaknesses and strengths relative to those of your own service or product.
- The strategies you need to implement so that you have a distinct advantage.
- Effective ways to prevent competition from entering your market.
- How to turn their weaknesses into your advantage.
- How to protect your brand and reputation.
What Exactly Can Competition Research Give You?
In short, you can identify not only your current competitors but also potentially new players that may enter the market and target the same market and buyer persona with a similar product or service. After implementing every tool available in our arsenal, you will have a detailed list of who these suitors are and what actions they take precisely.
Incorporating Competitive Research in your business marketing strategy is key to knowing where you stand against competitors (current and future players), maintaining a good online reputation, and identifying innovative ways to keep ahead of the competition at all times.
There are several methods to try when you want to know what your competitors are doing, when, and how. Depending on who you ask, you may be suggested to employ rather shady strategies. At RESOCIAL, we prefer not to go down that road and use our combined expertise on marketing and SEO for the benefit of our clients in a straightforward and transparent, yet always effective, way.
So, with Google's products, from the good old, Keyword Planner, formerly known as Google Traffic Estimator and Keyword Tool (yes, it has a feature that helps us find competitors' data), to Reputation Monitoring Tools that lets us to know of every instance your competitor is mentioned online, and to some of the best and most advanced Competition Research Tools out there, we help you succeed.
Having negative search results about your operations is definitely a pain point that can keep you – and every business person – awake. But also your competitor's.
With social media being widely used to spread both positive and negative content, it is important to be able to protect your business and, of course search for the weaknesses of your competitors.
With the use of the right paid reputation and social media monitoring tools, you can monitor, measure, and manage competitors online reputation, and as well as identify opinion leaders they might use, search for online communities the competition reach, and eventually track success both of yours and competitor's brands.

Arthur Melo – The Solution to Barcelona's Identity Crisis?
6th June 2015 – The day we all saw arguably one of the finest Spanish footballers of our generation, Xavi Hernandez play his final competitive game for Barcelona. It was the Champions League final. In the 78th minute, when the score was 2-1 in favour of the Catalan club, Xavi came on as a substitute, symbolically replacing Iniesta, on his 767th and final appearance in a Barcelona jersey. The game finished 3-1 in favour of Barcelona as the maestro celebrated his farewell with the coveted trophy, something which he had won 3 times before. Barcelona finished their season with a treble, the second time in the history of the club and the teenager who first donned the Blaugrana colours in 1998 had left on an unprecedented high in 2015.
Lionel Messi might have been the best player for Barcelona since the beginning of its golden period, but Xavi is the heart and soul of everything that makes the Catalonians more than just a football club. So when he left his childhood club for Qatar, it was expected that Barcelona would struggle to find his replacement. The Croatian midfielder, Ivan Rakitic was bought from Sevilla as a potential replacement for Xavi. But in reality, the diminutive midfielder's boots were ironically just a bit too big for Rakitic to fill.
Barcelona chased several players in the market to fill the void. Verratti was the most preferable player with Xavi-esque attributes, but the move never came to fruition. Unsurprisingly, Xavi's departure has collided with unfavourable runs in the Champions League for the Catalans who have failed to reach the final on three successive occasions while their rivals, Real Madrid have run riot.
When Barcelona's scout team was monitoring Arthur Melo in his Gremio days, he seemed like the player who had the potential to fill in Xavi's shoes. A young, sprightly midfielder who operates from deep, circulates the ball all over the pitch, brings others into the game and creates harmony on the pitch by linking players from every corner of the field with each other. But can he do the same in Europe? That was the bigger question.
The early signs bode well for the Brazilian as he put in strong displays in two consecutive games against Tottenham and Valencia. Although Messi stole the show in both the games and was rightfully the talk of the town, these matches against two high calibre opposition sides will be remembered as stepping stones in the development of the 22-year old.
After being selected by Ernesto Valverde in the starting lineup against Tottenham, Arthur did not take any time to settle in the game. As the match wore on, Barcelona showcased the beautiful football they are renowned for. Valverde has drawn a lot of criticism as his Barcelona team seems to be gradually fading away from their core philosophy and traditions, prioritizing a more direct 4-4-2 system and opting against the possession-based ideology.
Against Spurs, the team that was touted to be the strongest oppositions in the group, Barcelona were simply tremendous. Dominating the midfield, creating triangles all over the pitch and creating a better free-flowing display than seen before under Valverde, the scores, as well as the playing field, was not level between the two sides. To everyone's surprise, it was the young Brazilian who shone, starting in a Champions League clash for the first time in his career. With his inclusion, Barcelona looked a lot calmer and confident on the ball. Valverde's Barcelona looked tensed and had a tendency to bypass the midfield while having the ball before. But there was no such hesitancy on show as the Blaugrana were in driver's seat from the get-go.
Arthur completed 64 passes with a success rate of 91.4%. At several points, it looked impossible for the Spurs players to force the ball away from him. Every time Pochettino's players pressed him harder, he shielded the ball effortlessly, making clever turns and swivels to leave the pressers helpless.
His impressive performance earned him another league start against Valencia. Although a draw must have been disappointing for the cules, they can take Arthur's display as a positive sign for the future as the Brazilian was once again a class act. He attempted 142 passes against Valencia, more than any other player in an away ground since Xavi's 148 attempts against Levante in 2012. You can call it a coincidence or destiny, but again in this scenario, Arthur showed signs of his predecessor at full pelt. Out of 142, 135 of his passes were successful.
It may take years for Arthur to reach the same pedestal as the virtuosic Xavi Hernandez, but the early signs come as a ray of hope to the Barcelona faithful. Only time will tell if Arthur can finally prove himself as the solution Barcelona have been looking for.

Darren Till has 'earned his hype', says main event opponent Derek Brunson
Brunson says he respects that challenge that Darren Till will provide him on Saturday night.
By John Balfe - 3 Sep 2021
Darren Till fights for the first time in more than a year on Saturday night and despite his relative recent inactivity, the other man in the cage tomorrow, Derek Brunson, says the Englishman's status in the middleweight rankings is well deserved.
Despite losing three of his past four fights, Till remains a significant threat at middleweight. His eye-catching style of striking has landed him the plaudits of fans the world over, and even 185-pound champ Israel Adesanya who has openly stated his desire to one day throw down with Till — and when the champion wants a piece of you, that's a good situation for a contender to be.
And while Brunson remains confident of victory in Las Vegas this weekend, he says that Till admiration is justified — perhaps more so than some other fighters on the roster.
"There's a lot of guys [like that]," Brunson to MMA Fighting. "I would say he earned it more than a [Sean] O'Malley or something like that. I think what 18-4, former title challenger, a win over Stephen Thompson, he had another quality win, too. He has some quality wins.
"He put himself in a great spot. He's from the U.K. with a big following, that helps also. He's just a guy that has a lot of buzz around him. His personality, a solid fighter."
That personality that Brunson references has led to Till sending him a barrage of DM's on social media, something which Brunson went into further detail on during the media day in Las Vegas on Thursday which you can watch below.

Last night the City of Sarasota voted to move forward on creating a domestic partnership registry.
The unanimous vote by the Sarasota City Commission directed the City Attorney to draft language, that if passed, would make Sarasota the most recent city in Florida to adopt a domestic partnership registry. Recently, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Orlando, Orange County and Volusia County have all adopted registries.
Mayor Suzanne Atwell has been supportive of the move saying, "I think this is exactly what the city should be doing. It's the right thing to do."
Equality Florida board member and former Sarasota City Commissioner, Ken Shelin was at the meeting to urge Commissioners to move forward.
Once the language is drafted, Commissioners and the public will have an opportunity to comment on the ordinance before final passage. Stay tuned for more details and how you can help pass this important policy.


André Courrèges passed away yesterday at the age of 92 in the Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine after battling Parkinson's disease for 30 years. The designer was known for revolutionizing fashion in the '60s with his futuristic, geometric silhouettes based on squares, trapezoids, and triangles. The look debuted in his 1964 Space Age collection, which also included accessories like boots and goggles, and knee-grazing hemlines. He is considered a pioneer of the miniskirt, alongside designer Mary Quant.
Prior to founding his label in 1961, Courrèges worked for Balenciaga for 10 years starting in 1948. Before that he worked for designer Jeanne LaFaurie starting in 1945, just after his career as an Air Force pilot during WWII. Courrèges stopped working in the '90s and appointed designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac to carry on his legacy. After just two collections under de Castelbajac, who left in 1994 to focus on his own line, the creative reigns were turned over to Coqueline Courrèges, André's wife. Coqueline and André eventually sold the company in 2011 to Jacques Bungert and Frédéric Torloting, and in May 2015 young design duo Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant (both in their mid-20s) took over the design to critical acclaim.

"My wife and I recently stopped by to see George the owner of House of Rajah and what a terrific experience. I had not seen George in about 10 years, and as soon as I entered the store, he shook my hand and after about 30 seconds greeted me by my name. It was like visiting an old friend. After giving each other updates about our lives, we sat down to look at some beautiful creations. George mentioned that this is his 39th, nearing 40th year in business, and there is a good reason for that! George is very personal and makes a sincere effort to make you happy. His selection of fine jewelry is quite impressive, and his knowledge is unsurpassed. I strongly recommend a visit to House of Rajah, it will prove extremely beneficial. George and his staff have a goal whenever you visit, and that is for you to happy when you leave. Not only will his prices please you, but the whole store experience will make you smile. The only place for fine jewelry in St. Thomas is House of Rajah, don't miss it!!!"
"My wife Sally and I have been going to St. Thomas regularly since 2005 and every year we stop in at the House of Rajah. We know George, his wife, and his mother and father. We trust them and consider them almost family at this point. When we visit St. Thomas we bring our close friends and family in to discuss purchases with George and his staff. If you are considering a purchase of precious gems, watches, etc. we highly recommend George Chugani and the House of Rajah. We have enjoyed our many purchases and know that George will stand behind his sales if anything goes wrong. You really should pay the store a visit and see if what I say is true. My email address is galla@win.net if you would like to know more. "
"My husband and I took a cruise to St. Thomas with his brother, sister and both of their spouses. All of us were celebrating wedding anniversaries. One set of in laws had been to the house of Rajah numerous times over the years. When we walked in George and his staff recognized them, and started chatting like they saw each other on a daily basis! I was amazed at how he and his staff remembered them. Needless to say all of us purchased beautiful jewelry, rings, bracelet, watches, earring jackets etc. We were also able to receive appraisals for our Insurance Company. We had a great time and also received free refreshments as we shopped! I am not sure when we will take a cruise to St. Thomas again, but we will definitely go see George and his wonderful staff. Do yourself a favor and do not miss out on the opportunity to buy quality merchandise for reasonable prices!!It was the best part of my trip!"
"Over 10 yrs ago my good friend got me hooked on sailing in the BVI. Little did I know it would include a stop at the House Of Rajah. Since our first trip my wife and I have been stopping in to see George at least twice a yr. George and his staff really treats you like family .My wife and I recently celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary and George helped me pick out the perfect ring a 2 ct cushion cut center diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds. George was very careful to stay within my buget . My wife loves the ring and gets many compliments . I would recommend stopping in to the House of Rajah if you are in St Thomas."
"The most friendly sales team on the island. And that is because George is there all the time. He welcomes you with a warm smile and always tries to find you the best deal for what you are looking for. Never, never pushy. But you will always find something to buy among the marvelous merchandise they have in the store."
"In February of 2012 I was able to meet George in person @ the House of Rajah in St. Thomas. After talking with my travel agent about my wish to purchase a chocolate diamond ring, she told me to see George because she had done business with him in the past and was very pleased. Needless to say, she was right he was fantastic along with his staff. We were able to purchase a chocolate diamond ring, pair of earrings, necklace and 2 Citizen watches. This past Feb. I lost one of my earrings and of course contacted George to replace it. He was able to get me a new set of the same earrings and I purchased a new pendant for my chain. He helped me with my insurance agency and made an unfortunate loss much easier to handle. I would recommend anyone wanting to purchase any type of jewelry to visit George & his staff while in St. Thomas or by looking @ their website."
"I went to the US Virgin Islands by cruise on New Year's Eve and purchased a high quality Rolex Submariner watch from George and his team. It is fabulous and I bought it for a great price. He stands by his product and was most professional and efficient when I had a minor issue. Thanks to him, it was resolved without worry or expense. I am living in Canada and couldn't have asked for better treatment anywhere. I intend to tell everyone about George and House of Rajah...I know I'll be going back! "


Sitting at the airport fiddling with the pictures.
Today some of us skiied and some of us bummed around in the village, either because they were too tired or because they only had 6 day lift passes. The weather was unstable early in the morning but turned out quite nice during lunch and afternoon, although the sun never quite managed to poke through the clouds. It was windy, but only if you went to the wrong slopes.
If one guy touches another guy with his pole or hand then the other is nudd, i.e. he has the nudd.
You can only be nudded if you have your skiis on and are not in a lift line or a lift (although this rule is quite new and frequently broken). So it is an advantage to be very fast at taking off your skiis. This can often have very comical effects.
Whoever is the last one to have the nudd for the day, is Nuddmeisterfor the day and is honored on our web site.
Whoever is the last one to have the nudd on the last day of the last skitrip of the millenium is Nuddmestier of the Millenium. This is a great honor in a negative way, and occurs only seldomly.
Although there is no strict rule forbidding you to poke someone's eye out when nudding, it is not appreciated. Aim for the legs.
Throwing poles is allowed, but can get you in trouble if you miss and the guy you aimed at picks the pole up and throws it off a cliff.
And that brings us to the obvious question - who is Nuddmeister of the year?
He almost got out if, or so he thought, by ambushing Henrik just as he skiied down towards the ski-rental place to give back his skiis. Henrik skiied right up to Mattias, pretending to not really know who was nudd. Mattias, with a triumphant smile, lunged towards Henrik with his pole and then watched in horror as Henrik nimbly jumped off his skiis in a flash, forever ruining his chances of giving someone else the Title. And how did Henrik do this? Well, he was just pretending to be skiing, he was wearing normal boots and just standing on the skiis sliding down the slope. Hahahahaha.
Needless to say, after a whole week of intensive skiing most of us are very tired. No bones broken, luckily, but many bones creaking.
Anders is smiling because he hasn't realized yet that he has lost his passport.
Anders managed to sleep on the bus despite all the turmoil around him.
This is the last picture, the whole gang gathered at the airport just before jumping on the plane. We gave Sophia a bottle of sparkling peach wine in a cool bottle as thanks for organizing the trip!
By the way (yes, here comes the by-the-ways) as soon as we get back home and can get a connection to internet, we will collect the last avoriazATkniberg.com emails and tell you who won the various competions on this site!
Here comes the food, bye!!!
Well. The food took a little longer to come (yep. bad service) so now I'll write a bit. Oh this is Mattias by the way. There's one thing which all of you dedicated readers must have noticed in the above text. Yes. Its the question of who is the WURPMEISTER of the YEAR!
We started to discuss it, and at this very moment, a piece of paper is circling the skigang members for them to fill in who is to be the Vurpmeister anno 2001, and why this person is to get this honourable title (and be joked with until next year).
According to the Captain of this Flight, the excitement of this vurpmeister poll is tangible in the entire cabin. All passengers are whispering to each other and discussing who the skigang will vote as the Vurpmeister 2001. The jury, ready to take bribes, stand tall at the fore of the plane, dressed in the ancient ceremonial robes worn by the native shamans of Tski-Gung, our proud ancestors. Who will it be? Will there be any dirty tricks? Why is it taking so much time? As we all know, the outcome of this vote will have earthshaking effects on the global economy and all that.
This is Mattias Jansson, live on flight SK7870, and I'll hand it over to Henrik at the Studio. Henrik?
Henrik here, taking over! The votes are coming in one by one and the tension is definitely rising. Stefan is now counting the votes.... who will it be? From what I can see, glancing over his shoulder, it looks quite unanimous, this won't be like a certain US presidential election.
For his excellence in both quantity and quality, as in his slide-down-his-face collision with Henrik as well as his drop landing.

Die Vier Abgesandten oder Vier Botschafter oder Vier Mittler des Zwölften Imams sind Sammelbegriffe für eine Personengruppe aus dem Islam der Zwölferschiiten (Imamiten), deren Glaube an den Mahdi, den erwarteten Erlöser und zugleich verborgenen Zwölften Imam, den Kernpunkt ihrer Eschatologie bildet. Arabische Begriffe für diese Personengruppe sind Abwāb, Einzahl: Bāb ("Tore, Pforten"); Sufarāʾ, Einzahl: Safīr ("Botschafter"), Na'ib (Abgeordneter) oder Wakil (Anwalt). Diese Begriffe beziehen sich auf den Glauben der Zwölferschiiten an den Zwölften Imam und dessen Verborgenheit (ġaiba bzw. Ghaiba), genau gesagt: dessen "kleiner Verborgenheit" (al-ġaiba aṣ-ṣuġrā in der Zeit von 874 bis 941.

Über diese vier Botschafter hatte dieser während seiner "kleinen Verborgenheit" den Kontakt zu seinen Anhängern gehalten, diese fungierten nacheinander als Mittler zwischen ihm und seinen verbliebenen Anhängern. Sie übermittelten ihm Fragen und überbrachten heimlich seine Antworten.

Nach dem Ableben des vierten Botschafters (941) soll sich der Zwölfte Imam in die "große Verborgenheit" (al-ġaiba al-kubrā) zurückgezogen haben, die bis heute andauert.

Vier Botschafter des Zwölften Imām
Die vier Botschafter waren:
 Uthman ibn Said al-Asadi
 Abu Dschafar Muhammad ibn Uthman (gest. 917)
 Abu l-Qasim al-Husain ibn Ruh an-Nawbahti (gest. 938)
 Abu l-Husain Ali ibn Muhammad as-Samarri (gest. 941)

Congratulations on the wonderful job you are doing in this forum.
I have been watching you for a while. I need your assistance at this point.
We are newly weds arriving at Livorno on 17th August on a cruise. We won' t have more than 9 hours to go around.
We have both been to Pisa, so we will skip it. We are thinking to go to Siena and St. Gimignano (I have been there before and I want to show these places to my husband). Ideally we would like to visit another nice village and do a wine tasting (we are open to suggestions). Is this possible? If not, we can keep either Siena or St. gimgnano and add some other places in between.
Now, is it better to rent a car for this or can we use the train?
Which place would you suggest for wine tasting ? (maybe we could combine it with lunch).
I have seen the map, but unfortunately I cannot figure out how long it will take us from one place to another.
I highly appreciate any opinions and advice about our trip.
A visit to Tuscany is perfect for a great honeymoon and a cruise is fantastic!
Livorno is a very nice city so you may also enjoy a brief walk through the city center with a visit to the ancient Medicean port and fortress.
As you will have a very limited time to go around, I suggest you rent a car, so to save time without being too much in a hurry.
San Gimignano is on top of a hill and reaching it using public transport (train+bus) will take a lot of time, the same to reach Siena.
You will find information on car rentals at this link, and here some useful notes on getting around Tuscany by car.
Consider that the journey from Livorno to Siena will take around 2 hours and half in total.
From Livorno you should take the SGC Highway or Fi-Pi-Li, the main road leading to Florence, and take the exit at Pontedera-Ponsacco.
You'll find it very pleasing driving along this route to Siena, it winds through scenic country roads amidst charming Tuscan landscapes.
On your way to San Gimignano, you'll meet Volterra, a beautiful medieval village set on a rocky promontory with splendid views, that I highly recommend visiting.
Then you can proceed to reach San Gimignano and its scenic towers, and finally head on to Siena.
Of course much depends on how much time you'll spend in each town, so, in case you see time is lacking, skip Volterra and soon head to San Gimignano and Siena.
Here you'll find a map of the Tuscan itinerary I've just suggested.
As to wine tasting, along the route you'll meet really many wineries, so you can just stop and taste!
In San Gimignano and Siena, however, you'll find a lot of shops, where you can also do wine tastings and try other delicious typical products, such as cheese and olive oil.
Feel free to post again for any additional request or suggestion.

For all the years that have passed and all the music McCoy Tyner has made since he went out on his own, his membership in one of jazz history's greatest groups remains a calling card.
Fresh off a trip performing in Japan, Tyner and his trio will perform seven sets at Jazz Alley over four nights, starting Thursday. He will be accompanied by bassist Charnett Moffett and drummer Eric Kamau Gravatt.
In the four decades since parting ways with Coltrane, Tyner has recorded more than 60 albums, won four Grammy Awards and earned his own record label, McCoy Tyner Music, a subsidiary of Blue Note. A player of orchestral ability, with an explosive left hand and a deeply embedded feel for the blues, Tyner has developed a highly identifiable sound over the years.
A curious innovator, he has taken on recording projects with not just other jazz greats but with masters of unconventional instruments like the banjo and the Japanese koto. He even recorded an album with tap dancer Savion Glover.
His most recent album, "Guitars," is a collaboration with Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, John Scofield, Derek Trucks and Béla Fleck. He has a solo album due out later this year, a recording of a live performance in San Francisco.
