Hello fellow human,

I've seen your main list (wait I forgot how it's named), anyway, I've seen at the very bottom there is a little "Graves" mention but no Graves 😔 so I've come to request you.

....

In my golden days I've been writing a lot of stuff about him, but I didn't post none, but I want to see your take on my idea. If you so condone ☺️

Graves and reader both under the command of Sheph. And both of them fighting like siblings for his attention, by any means digging holes beneath eachother just to be the favourite.

hiiii <333 sorry this took years :( i actually really enjoyed writing reader and oc in this one, so they might get reused for a sequel :D

You jiggled in your chair as you checked your third account. God bless Shepherd’s fat paychecks! Closing your laptop, you made your way down the barracks, smoothing out the wrinkles on the arms of your shirt.

"Begbie! Get your ass in here!” You called out from the other side to the door to your second in command. 

“One sec!” You heard stumbling around, something falling, hurried steps. Begbie opened the door panting, only half of her face visible, blue eye darting around. 

“You caught me unprepared, Commander.”

“Try jacking off in the evening. Now, I just got news from daddy dearest, a general briefing in one hour. This could be huge for us. I want you to warn the Arrows and meet me back in the hall.” Begbie just nodded at your commands and closed the door again.

You took care in preparing yourself for the video call. Not that you wanted to appear particularly attractive to Shepherd, ew, but you felt the need to always show up impeccable, so that your looks wouldn’t be attacked lowly. Especially by a certain someone who enjoyed kicking you when you were already down. 

“General,” you chirped enthusiastically some hours later, “and Graves,” you added unenthusiastically, “good afternoon.” Shepherd greeted you back neutrally, while Philip Graves didn’t even respond, his gaze away from his camera, almost as if he had much better things to monitor around himself. The smug aura that surrounded him, the pleasure he got from diminishing you, was still evident over video call. You would have liked to chew him off, but right in front of your employer? No thanks. You did roll your eyes to Begbie though, to which she just shrugged.

“As you know, I’ve already engaged both of your services for this operation. I trust that both Shadows and Arrows will work together to retrieve the package.” Shepherd stayed in silence for a second more than normal, and it would have been daft not to get the implicit warning in it. Stop fucking around and get the job done.   

Well. You’d try. 

“Task Force 141 will be there as well, but their objective is different. Try not to mind them.”

“Understood, General.” You heard a tsk then, and your eyes flew to the side of the screen. Indeed, it was him again. Rage rose in you before rationality could rein you in.

“Excuse me, Commander?”

“I’m sure you won’t mind them, Commander,” he mocked, smiling sardonically, “not the way you were begging for a crumble of attention from Price last time.” The blood in your veins chilled altogether, and you felt like dying that he’d decided now was the right moment to push that knife in. 

“I don’t know how this concerns the assignment,” you settled on through your teeth. It wasn’t an outright denial but it was the truth– you were sure Shepherd didn’t give a shit who you tried to sleep with, and why would he. But Graves liked to put you in uncomfortable situations to try and diminish your power in everyone’s eyes because, at the end of the day, you were competitors. That was all there was to it, really. 

 “Right. It doesn’t,” said Shepherd, thin lips in a hard line, and you wished, you wished it could count as a win for your team, but unfortunately he just sounded like he was sick of both of you and Graves and not that he was siding with you. 

//

“I think he’s psychosexually obsessed with you.”

“What?” Your exclamation was almost unhearable as the driver drove on the bump with a little too enthusiasm. And frankly you hoped you heard Begbie wrong.

“He wants to have sex with you but can’t so he takes out his frustration this way.”

“You have to stop watching Youtube videos every time you’re not working.” You sighed, rubbing your nose. You didn’t particularly care why Graves had it for you; it was obviously some form of male chauvinism in response to having his source of income threatened. The funniest thing was, your Arrows weren’t even trained for the same tasks as Shadows. Existence in peaceful union was possible, if only you and Graves could find a way to get off each other’s backs. 

“I’ll try to ignore him harder this time.”

Begbie raised an eyebrow, and oh– again with that smug smile! Could the people around you go one second without implying something?

“Will you only talk to Captain Price?” You glared at her. She was a formidable unit but a terrible gossip.

“He didn’t seem interested and I’m not that pushy.” Admitting it gave you heartburn but it was the truth. A true soldier knows when to retreat. 

“Aw. You should still try, though,” she cradled her jaw with her hand, “see how Graves responds…”

“And you should try to keep your head on your shoulder before it gets blown off. Understood?”

//

“Yes, yes…”

“Commander,” you greeted as you walked to the other car, Begbie on your heels. Graves was talking to another Shadow of his, and 141 were nowhere to be seen. You were all supposed to at least meet at the start and then go your different ways.

Graves had his hands tucked in his vest, blue shirt under. Hair meticulously fixed, soft tan on his face. Many things about him could be criticized, but his looks weren’t part of it. He made no attempt to conceal the fact that he was checking you out as well.

“Commander.”

“Oh, so today I got a hello, huh?” So long for trying to be mature about it. Your mouth had another complete conscience of its own. Graves smirked and settled on his feet.

“Now now. It’s too early to listen to your nagging, and we have a long day ahead of us. How are the ladies?” A vein in your forehead twitched. Not all Arrows were women but the majority was and this, too, was something he always poked at.

“Oh, so they get a handshake, huh?”

“They’re fine. How are the bottoms of the barrels doing?”

“Splendid and thriving. Hard not to when-” his words died on his tongue when another humvee entered the clearing, Captain Price and his Sergeant Gaz exiting the vehicle. You quickly shaked both men’s hands with a smile on your face. Despite your cheer in seeing trustworthy allies again, a voice whispered from your right.

//

It was done. Could it have been done a little more carefully, with a little less spilled blood? Probably. What mattered was that the “package” has been retrieved in decent form, and that Shepherd would be pleased. Thankfully, you and Graves had split roles evenly and managed not to get in each other’s way for the rest of the time. When seen from afar, he was almost bearable. You and Graves called Shepherd from a makeshift tent, 141 and its charming captain already gone. 

“General, the package is already on your way,” you smiled, your arms crossed on your chest and hands resting below your armpits. You could almost feel the air puffing up in Graves’ chest.

“Not thanks to her, General,” said Graves, “almost drove us into a ditch!” You chuckled bitterly, and this time the eye roll was right in front of Shepherd.

“I did not. In fact, had I not changed the course, we would have been done for. But it is typical of you to just change the facts for your personal interest.” You could feel the wrath raising through your neck, the molten lava hot blood pooling your face. Graves, on the other hand, didn’t look bothered at all– he was still smiling through it all.

“Nervous, Commander? Jumpy?” He implicated something you did not care to decipher, the quirk of his mouth, the winkle in his eyes bothering you, unsettling your heart. Driving away, as always, you schooled your features and turned back to Shepherd.

“General, I do not think the Arrows and Shadows should work together any-”

“I’ve had it with both of you,” Shepherd interrupted you, hand on the bridge of his nose. The tone of his voice was exhausted, perhaps even begging, and you remained silent. He continued.

“You’re adults with an important position and influence. I cannot have you bickering right in front of me like a couple of moody teenagers, or worse. Every time you put this act on, I lose some of the respect I have for the both of you.” You felt a breath being kicked out of you, and settled down. Shepherd then made his last regards and closed the call, leaving you in the improvised room with Graves, silent on your side. Eventually, you turned to him when you felt him staring at you. 

“Happy now? We are both idiots in our boss’ eyes.” You spoke freely, no one around to act shocked at your obvious antagonism towards the man. He laughed, again, the fool, and you had half a mind to shoot him there and then.

“I’m my own boss, baby. Try to remember that.”

“God, do you ever get less corny?” 

From outside the tent, Begbie and the senior Shadow present, Lerch, shamelessly eavesdropped on their commanders.

“He’s playing the long game,” said Lerch, and Begbie nodded. 

“I think there’s quite a long way to go, still…”

6 Tips to Boost Productivity for Business Leaders

Business leaders and successful entrepreneurs are renowned for their ability to achieve more in less time. They often seem naturally good at being productive and accomplishing their goals.

Besides discipline, what other measures can you take to boost productivity?

Some people hold themselves responsible by reading blogs and books for inspirational productivity quotes. Others log their work on productivity apps.

Regardless of your preferred motivation method, you will occasionally need productivity tips to move forward.

Let's explore some of the best tips to boost productivity for business leaders to help you on your entrepreneurial journey.

Read on.

The Importance of Productivity for Business Leaders

First, let's understand what productivity is and why it matters.

Being productive increases output and minimizes the time needed to complete a task. It involves striking a balance between the two to enhance performance.

Productivity is vital whether you're a beginner or an experienced entrepreneur.

Here's why it matters.

●     Inspirational Leadership: As a business leader, maintaining high productivity sets a positive example for your team. It fosters a culture of high performance, which encourages your employees to adopt similar behaviors. Ultimately, this boosts your business' overall performance whether you’re managing a team or planning a corporate event.

●     Informed Decision-Making: A productive leader can make informed decisions quickly. This keeps the business agile and reduces risks while exploiting opportunities.

●     Efficient Goal Achievement: Your productivity will ensure the organization moves forward with purpose and direction. This will lead to sustained growth and long-lasting success.

Top 6 Tips to Boost Productivity for Business Leaders

Here are some productivity tips to help you accomplish things faster. If you’re looking for productivity tips for employees, then read this blog post by Attrock.

1. Prioritize & Delegate Tasks

Use a planner or a checklist, then prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance.

This will help you focus on the most critical tasks and curb time wastage. You can aim for three priority tasks daily and not do anything else until you complete them.

This is especially beneficial for those who want to manage their time efficiently and increase productivity as a freelancer.

Being a productive leader also means recognizing when to delegate tasks and not do everything yourself.

Delegating tasks to people who are best suited for them helps boost productivity and tap into the specialized skills of your team members. It also frees your time and lets you concentrate on strategic initiatives and overall business growth.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, created a "two-pizza team" rule to ensure the appropriate delegation of tasks. The idea was to make small, autonomous teams that you could feed with two pizzas. The approach enabled the company to innovate rapidly and maintain high productivity across multiple projects.

Here's a video of Bezos explaining how the strategy impacted productivity and efficiency.

2. Leverage Technology & Automation

A productive business owner understands the value of leveraging technology. Using the right tools can help you optimize processes without sacrificing quality standards.

For example, you may use an ecommerce analytics software solution rather than manually following and analyzing the market. That means you can track your products' price and availability and monitor your competitors' promotional activities.

You may also need to learn to use a digital business card to improve your professional engagements and networking efficiency.

3. Encourage Transparent Communication

Effective communication is crucial for boosting productivity. So, ensure you create a work environment where transparent communication thrives.

A policy of openness and routine check-ins promotes the culture of sharing ideas and concerns. This helps prevent unforeseen circumstances by addressing issues before they escalate into significant concerns.

Besides helping address issues promptly, open communication fosters innovation and collaboration. It also saves time, minimizes misunderstandings, and keeps projects on track.

Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, applies this strategy. He transformed the company's culture by encouraging transparent communication and a growth mindset.

In the following interview, Nadella speaks of encouraging employees to share feedback and ideas openly. This cultural shift resulted in enhanced innovation and collaboration.

Here's the interview.

4. Time Blocking

Time blocking is an effective productivity tactic embraced by many successful business leaders. It involves assigning specific blocks of time for different activities or tasks throughout your day.

You can reduce distractions and optimize your productivity by scheduling dedicated time slots for meetings, managing email, focusing on work, and engaging in personal activities. This technique helps prioritize tasks and manage time efficiently, ensuring that essential tasks receive the most attention.

Elon Musk applies this technique to manage his hectic schedule. He usually allocates five-minute slots to various tasks throughout the day. This strategy has significantly enhanced his productivity by enabling him to concentrate on one task at a time without interruptions.

Here's a video of Musk sharing how he applies time blocking to manage his time effectively.

5. Healthy Habits & Self-Care

Maintaining healthy habits and practicing self-care are crucial for sustaining high productivity levels. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices.

These habits boost physical and mental health, improving focus, energy, and resilience. For example, you can include a morning workout, a nutritious breakfast, and meditation in your morning routine to start your day right.

The founder of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, emphasizes the significance of sleep and self-care. She once collapsed from exhaustion, after which she changed her lifestyle and started prioritizing sleep. Besides improving her well-being, this shift boosted her creativity and productivity.

Here's a short talk of Arianna sharing the power of a good night's sleep. She highlights how this can enhance productivity, happiness, and more thoughtful decision-making.

6. Reflect & Evaluate

Regular self-reflection and evaluation help assess progress and identify areas for improvement. So set aside some time to review completed tasks, analyze outcomes, and adjust your approach. Reflect on successes and failures to learn and grow.

Bill Gates understands the value of this approach as he takes "Think Weeks" twice a year. He retreats to a quiet place where he reads and reflects on his life and work. This practice has been beneficial in generating new ideas, contributing significantly to his productivity and success.

Here's a short animated video about this strategy.

Key Takeaway

Productivity is essential for business leaders to make informed decisions, achieve organizational goals, and inspire their teams.

Adopt these productivity tactics and incorporate them into your life. You'll also need to learn to develop the right habits to unleash your potential as a productive entrepreneur.

Good luck!

Precium and the Evolution of Revenue Management: Why Rate Shopping & Automated Pricing Recommendations Are the Future of Hospitality

In today’s fast-paced world, the hospitality industry is experiencing a seismic shift. The days of managing hotel pricing with guesswork and gut feelings are long gone. Enter Precium, a sophisticated Automated Pricing Recommendation tool designed to help hoteliers maximize revenue, increase profitability, and stay ahead of the competition in an increasingly complex market.

At the heart of Precium is a suite of Revenue Management Solutions that combine real-time data with powerful market insights. Whether you’re managing a boutique hotel, a mid-tier chain, or a luxury brand, Precium tools will revolutionize the way you approach pricing, revenue, and profitability.

But how exactly does Precium and its integrated rate shopping feature work? And why should you, as a hotelier, care about automated pricing recommendations? Let’s dive in.👇

The Shift from Traditional to Automated Revenue Management: A Need for Innovation

For decades, hotels have used traditional pricing strategies, relying on historical data, a few key demand drivers, and a bit of intuition to set room rates. However, this method often left substantial revenue potential untapped. Manual pricing, while reliable in its heyday, simply cannot keep up with the complexity of modern markets.

Today, technology is the beating heart of hospitality. With travellers booking rooms across various platforms, changing their preferences by the minute, and comparing rates at the click of a button, hoteliers need more agile solutions. This is where automated pricing comes into play, allowing for real-time adaptability.

The latest trends in Revenue Management Software now embrace automation, AI, and data science to deliver more accurate pricing strategies. These tools capture and analyse large volumes of data to recommend room rates that maximize revenue without alienating price-sensitive guests. Precium is at the forefront of this trend, using a combination of AI-driven insights and advanced algorithms to keep you one step ahead of your competitors.

👉Rate Shopping: The Secret Weapon for Staying Competitive

Before we talk about Precium Automated Pricing Recommendation, let’s explore rate shopping. It sounds like something your bargain-hunting aunt might do on Black Friday, but in the world of hotels, rate shopping is far more advanced.

In essence, rate shopping tools allow hotels to monitor the room prices of their competitors across a variety of booking channels. Want to know what the boutique hotel down the street is charging for a Deluxe Room? Curious about how your rates stack up against those of a 5-star competitor? Rate shopping tools can provide you with that real-time intel. This allows you to make strategic decisions on the fly, ensuring your prices are always competitive.

However, gathering that data manually would take hours, even days — time you simply don’t have. That’s why Precium automated rate shopping feature is a game-changer. It constantly monitors competitor pricing and feeds that information back into the system. In combination with Precium Automated Pricing Recommendation engine, it helps you adjust your rates with speed and precision, ensuring you never leave money on the table or lose out to undercutting competitors.

👉What is Automated Pricing Recommendation?

Picture this: It’s peak season, and your hotel is nearly at full capacity. Should you raise your rates? By how much? And how will this affect your booking pace? Or maybe it’s low season, and you need to fill as many rooms as possible without slashing your rates too dramatically.

This is where Precium Automated Pricing Recommendation tool comes in. Precium doesn’t just crunch numbers; it provides actionable insights. Powered by artificial intelligence, Precium analyses historical data, booking patterns, market trends, competitor pricing, and a host of other factors to suggest optimal room rates.

Think of it as a highly skilled revenue manager who never sleeps. It takes the guesswork out of pricing, allowing you to focus on what you do best — delivering top-notch guest experiences.

Why do you need this? Because setting the right price at the right time is the most critical driver of your hotel’s revenue. According to recent studies, hotels that use automated revenue management systems like Precium see up to a 10–15% increase in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) compared to those relying solely on manual methods. It’s not magic; it’s math.

👉Revenue Management: Why It’s More Crucial Than Ever

It’s not just about the room rate anymore. Today’s revenue management strategies encompass all hotel revenue streams, including F&B, spa services, and ancillary offerings. The more sophisticated your approach, the better equipped you are to maximize your hotel’s total revenue potential.

With Precium, hoteliers have a comprehensive Revenue Management Solution. Whether you’re looking to forecast demand, adjust your pricing, or optimize your inventory, Precium does it all. By gathering data from multiple sources, Precium gives you a 360-degree view of your business, enabling you to implement revenue strategies that work in real time.

👉Latest Trends in Revenue Management Software: Where Precium Leads

As we look ahead, Revenue Management Software is evolving in three key ways:

🟢 AI and Machine Learning Integration: AI is becoming more integrated into Revenue Management Solutions, making systems smarter, faster, and more adaptable. Precium is already utilizing AI to deliver more accurate pricing recommendations based on live data and predictive analytics.

🟢Personalization: Guests expect personalized experiences, and the same goes for pricing. Precium can segment guests by demographics, booking behaviours, and preferences, allowing you to tailor pricing strategies for each market segment.

🟢Cloud-Based Solutions: The flexibility and scalability of cloud-based systems are unmatched. Precium offers cloud-based revenue management, enabling hoteliers to access their data from anywhere and scale their operations effortlessly.

These trends are not just innovations — they’re necessities in a competitive industry. Hotels that fail to adopt these technologies risk being left behind.

👉The ROI of Revenue Management: Why Investing in Precium Pays Off

Let’s be honest: Revenue Management Software is an investment, but it’s one that yields impressive returns. In fact, according to a recent study, hotels that implement automated revenue management systems see an average ROI of 7–12 months. After that, it’s pure profit.

With Precium Automated Pricing Recommendation, you don’t just set competitive prices — you set the right prices. It’s about understanding demand in real-time, responding to changes faster than your competitors, and ensuring every guest pays the optimal price.

👉Why You Need Precium Now

In an era where technology is revolutionizing every aspect of business, can you afford not to upgrade your revenue management system? Precium doesn’t just keep you competitive — it gives you a distinct advantage.

With rate shopping, automated pricing recommendations, and a team of experienced revenue managers behind it, Precium is the solution you need to boost your hotel’s profitability and stay ahead of the game.

Stop leaving money on the table. Let Precium help you unlock the full potential of your hotel’s revenue today.

Chewing on a proto-idea.

The problem with exclusionary clubs or enterprises is not generally that they exclude people, but rather their size and influence.

Discrimination isn't really much of a problem if an organization is tiny and weak and has many competitors. On the other hand, it would be a huge problem if there were only two hospitals in a major city, and one of them only served men.

I considered a system where an organization's maximum allowed size is inversely proportional to its burden of imposed rules - but rule imposition can't be neatly quantified.

Then I considered one based on axes of discrimination - but then an attacker can arbitrarily penalize an organization by inventing new categories ("Actually, prohibiting men over 6' is 24 categories, 1 for each half-inch,"), or a different kind of attacker can exclude someone but refuse to categorize their exclusion in a way that loses them points in the system.

We could instead measure the percentage of society that is excluded.

A male-only bowling league thus gets a 50% rating, so maybe the allowed size of the meets is cut in half compared to a hypothetical 99.9% inclusive league, or maybe funding is more limited, etc. So far, so good.

But there are a lot smaller minorities, like male gays at maybe 1% of the population. Excluding them only takes down the rating from 50% to 49%, but it's a pretty big deal to the gays, since if it's so cheap to exclude them, perhaps lots of organizations will. To deal with this, we would have to also work from the opposite direction, monitoring how excluded a group is.

We could allow the discriminator to specify the categories to prevent the category explosion attack, but then we would need to maintain a table where each individual is mapped to each discriminator's category in order to determine the category's penalty.

But that's too centralized, too much surveillance, too much processing. Maybe some kind of price mechanism? Distributed bidding up of exclusion, upping the price as exclusion rises. But unclear how that would work.

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, staying ahead of the competition is essential for success. One effective strategy that can give businesses a competitive edge is competitor price monitoring. This practice involves tracking and analyzing the prices of products offered by competitors in order to make informed pricing decisions. In this article, we will explore the importance of competitor price monitoring, its benefits, techniques and tools, challenges, integration into e-commerce strategy, and future trends.

Understand Market Dynamics

Competitor price monitoring is crucial in the e-commerce industry as it allows businesses to understand market dynamics, identify pricing trends, and adjust their pricing strategy accordingly. By keeping a close eye on competitors’ prices, companies can make informed decisions on setting competitive prices that attract customers while maintaining healthy profit margins.

Competitor price monitoring is essential in the e-commerce industry as it provides businesses with valuable insights into the market landscape. By understanding how competitors are pricing their products, companies can adjust their prices accordingly to attract more customers, while still maintaining healthy profit margins. This practice also helps businesses stay ahead of the competition by keeping abreast of their competitors’ pricing strategies, thus fostering an enhanced competitive edge in the market.

Benefits of Competitor Price Monitoring

Competitor price monitoring is the process of tracking and analyzing the prices of products offered by competitors in the market. It allows e-commerce businesses to stay informed about the pricing strategies of their rivals and make adjustments to their own pricing strategies accordingly. By keeping a close eye on competitor prices, businesses can ensure that their prices are competitive, attract more customers, and maximize profitability.

Improve pricing strategy

One of the major advantages is the ability to improve pricing strategy by adjusting prices based on market trends. This allows businesses to optimize their pricing to attract more customers and drive profitability. Additionally, competitor price monitoring aids in better inventory management by aligning stock levels with pricing trends, ensuring that businesses are not over or understocked.

Enhanced competitive edge

Competitor price monitoring also offers an enhanced competitive edge. By staying aware of competitors’ pricing strategies, businesses can anticipate market changes and react quickly to stay ahead of the competition. This can help businesses establish themselves as industry leaders and build a strong reputation among customers.

Stay competitive in the market

One of the key benefits of competitor price monitoring is its ability to help companies stay competitive in the market. By constantly monitoring the prices set by competitors, businesses can ensure that their own prices are in line with industry norms and consumer expectations. This can help to prevent price wars, ensure a fair profit margin, and maintain customer loyalty.

Identify new opportunities for growth

Furthermore, competitor price monitoring can also help businesses to identify new opportunities for growth. By analyzing pricing trends, companies can identify new market segments, target customers, and product categories that may be underutilized or overlooked by competitors. This can help businesses to capitalize on emerging trends, expand their customer base, and increase overall sales and profitability.

Improve own pricing strategies

In addition, competitor price monitoring can also help businesses to improve their own pricing strategies. By comparing their prices to those of competitors, companies can identify areas where they may be charging too much or too little for their products or services. This can help to optimize pricing strategies, improve price positioning, and increase overall revenue and profitability.

Increased profitability

Additionally, competitor price monitoring can lead to increased profitability. By optimizing prices to attract more customers while still maintaining healthy margins, businesses can maximize their revenue and ensure long-term success. This can also help businesses make better decisions about inventory management by aligning stock levels with pricing trends.

Manual and Automated Monitoring Methods

In terms of techniques and tools for competitor price monitoring, businesses can choose between manual and automated monitoring methods. While manual monitoring involves manually tracking competitors’ prices, automated monitoring tools and software can provide real-time updates and alerts on pricing changes. Some popular tools for automated price tracking include PriceRest and other Price Monitoring Tools. Depending on the specific needs of the business, companies can opt for real-time or periodic monitoring to gather data on competitor pricing strategies.

However, there are challenges associated with competitor price monitoring, including ensuring data accuracy and reliability, navigating legal and ethical considerations in different markets, and managing dynamic pricing and promotions. Companies must address these challenges proactively to effectively leverage competitor price monitoring to drive profitability and competitiveness.

Integrate Competitor Price Monitoring Into e-commerce Strategy

To integrate competitor price monitoring into e-commerce strategy, companies can look to successful case studies and examples of businesses that have effectively implemented price monitoring systems.

How Do Market Research and Competitive Analysis? – Types with Examples 

Products that do not satisfy customer needs and wants fail to perform well in market dynamics, affecting your sales revenue. However, market research and analytics help you estimate consumer behavior. Corporate leaders also create competitive strategies using customer insights discovered by market research consulting partners. So, this post will explain how to do market research and competitive analysis. 

What is Market Research? 

Market research involves interviews, surveys, social listening, and media coverage analytics to acquire valuable customer insights. Therefore, businesses employ market research consulting firms to improve their understanding of consumer preferences. 

The obtained insights allow companies to revise their pricing strategies and marketing efforts to attract new customers and retain existing ones. Besides, such data-driven pricing, marketing, and innovation strategies are less vulnerable to human errors, a significant drawback of empirical business development methods. 

Enterprises use market research to minimize product launch risks. A marketing analytics company also delivers transparent and flexible reports to research what promotional strategies drive the most engagement from target customer profiles. 

What is Competitive Analytics? 

Competitive analytics leverages statistical modeling and automation technologies to identify methods to help you overcome your competition and increase your market share. For example, marketing research and analytics firms can guide you in optimizing your internal operations to compete more aggressively. 

Consider how inefficient allocation of resources affects all enterprises. If two companies target the same customer segment, the more efficient company will succeed. After all, corporate competitiveness improves when a business reduces the irresponsible use of company resources. Later, it can transfer the related financial benefits to the customers, i.e., rationalizing prices. 

Simultaneously, you want to know how your competitors plan to increase their market position. However, they will not share such confidential intelligence on public platforms. 

Therefore, market research consulting teams will develop machine learning (ML) models to process your competitors’ press releases. ML facilitates modern predictive analytics and helps companies forecast how competitors plan to grow their business. 

How to Conduct Market Research and Competitive Analysis? 

Goal determination is the first step in conducting market research or competitive analysis. If a business invests in market research consulting without clearly communicating its envisioned objectives, it will experience disappointment due to directionless competitive analysis or macroeconomic surveys. 

Later, study the available technologies and how implementing them will affect the company financially. For example, standard marketing analytics tools benefit a regional company. Similarly, a global business firm will require scalable, automated analytics software to generate high-quality reports. 

Finally, you want to specify a timeframe. Otherwise, monitoring the progress of your market research efforts will become daunting. Moreover, the risk of scheduling conflicts increases without time-bound activities. Financial planning also depends on the time factor for interest estimations associated with borrowed capital resources. 

Organizations have distinct business objectives, risk dynamics, and data processing requirements. Therefore, study the following market research and competitive analysis techniques. 

Part 1 – Types of Market Research Services 

1| Primary Research 

It is primary market research when a marketing analytics company interviews customers, suppliers, and employees. After all, the collected customer insights originate at the source, enhancing the quality of your competitive analytics operations in market research. You also get ownership rights to the resulting databases. 

Such original research helps you create thought leadership content, establish authority, and acquire unique strategic foresight. Sometimes, primary research integrates into whitepapers, case studies, and investment relations (IR) disclosures, increasing the trust in the brand among stakeholders. 

2| Secondary Research 

Finding customer insights through social listening and media coverage analytics for secondary research primarily concentrates on publicly available intelligence gathered by somebody else. Also, the scope of market research consulting teams revolves around magazines, social media platforms, consumer discussion forums, and global news publications. 

Secondary market research relies on already available intelligence resources. Therefore, most data in a secondary research project will have third-party owners. The hired marketing analytics company might use the editorial reproduction freedoms often governed by fair use or educational intent principles to help you in your marketing efforts. 

Still, organizations must practice proper caution since different secondary data sources can be prone to manipulative content and misinterpreted perspectives on business-critical ideas. Assessing the authoritative qualities and historical reputation of each data source can become easier with the help of a market research consulting firm. 

3| Manual Research 

Small businesses and young social media accounts can evaluate their growth, revenue, and competitiveness using simple analytics for customer insights. Remember, they generate fewer data points, eliminating any necessity for extensive database processing. 

Nevertheless, manual market research suffers from a more prominent risk of exposure to human errors. For example, psychological issues and physical limits often prevent your team members from developing holistic data models efficiently. So, manual research efforts are no longer relevant. Besides, enterprises have adopted advanced marketing analytics. 

4| Automated Research 

Machine learning allows for self-learning software applications, i.e., they can learn multiple tasks that usually require human intervention. Likewise, artificial intelligence (AI) enables automated marketing research and analytics through abilities similar to idea synthesis. 

Market research consulting will offer data gathering, validation, and cleaning automation. You will have access to more extensive data throughout the day and night. 

Corporations save a lot of time and human effort when ML models extract customer insights via analytics. Additionally, such technologies eliminate ambiguity in competitive analysis and market research by facilitating accelerated data validation. 

5| Qualitative Research 

Customers might complain about a product feature in their social media posts or consumer discussion forums. Some users will also give you meaningful feedback using highly descriptive texts. Additionally, you want to analyze product ratings and reviews if you operate an e-commerce business division. 

However, software applications need more help understanding meaning and emotions when processing qualitative consumer responses. Qualitative marketing research implements natural language processing (NLP) algorithms for sentiment analytics. Therefore, categorizing unstructured data becomes seamless. 

6| Quantitative Research 

The customer rating system varies from website to website. Still, it contains numerical data manageable using straightforward mathematical programs. So, quantitative market research gathers more structured data. 

Analyzing properly structured data does not require extensive computing resources. Businesses utilize quantitative research in financial modeling and total quality management (TQM) instead of sentiment analytics. They prioritize the quantitative methods for these two operations because the core reporting systems are well-structured and standardized. 

Moreover, it does not make any business sense to use a lot of computing power when the marginal gains in performance contribute little to ultimate goals, like revenue enhancement and market share increment. Therefore, professional consulting firms specializing in market research technologies assist enterprises in deciding when to use quantitative or qualitative analytics for customer insights. 

Part 2 – Types of Competitive Analytics 

1| Internal Competitive Research and Analysis 

Every established marketing analytics company treats an organization’s competitiveness using a systems approach. So, internal competitive analytics investigates how an enterprise manages its supply chain, professional networks, business units, and investor relations. 

For example, a business might suffer above-average employee attrition during a specific financial year. It can ask a competitive analytics company to inspect how such problematic events in retaining talent affect its performance. 

The consulting analysts will then reveal the impact on the company through statistical modeling. Later, the business can revise its talent acquisition processes, employment contracts, and workplace environment to counter the adverse effect of employee attention using the consultants’ insights. 

2| External Competitive Analytics 

A company’s performance relies on factors outside its direct control, and consulting firms research these external market forces. It is external competitive analytics with a broad scope of data gathering, validation, modeling, and reporting global customer insights. 

Consider how currency fluctuations influence the financial planning done by import-export businesses. Likewise, natural disasters introduce systemic issues across transportation, communication, and healthcare infrastructure. 

How can an organization become more resilient against the losses resulting from earthquakes, avalanches, tsunamis, landslides, or other catastrophes caused by malicious actors? Competitive analysis and market research can give you the data necessary to evaluate such business queries. 

Most market research consulting teams consider the socioeconomic and political stability indicators for such inquiries. After all, enterprises of all scales must be attentive to external competitive risks. 

3| Competitor Analytics 

Competitor analysis has a narrower scope since it concentrates all the marketing research and analytics activities on your top business rivals. It is a subset of a more holistic competitive analysis. Therefore, it takes less time, consumes a few computing resources, and delivers reports fast. 

You can utilize computer analytics for peer benchmarking in a target industry. This activity allows enterprises to compare their performance with how their business rivals perform in the same industry. However, computer analytics becomes more complex if a company serves multiple customer segments, leading to the application of advanced tools to acquire insights. 

5| Descriptive and Diagnostic Analysis for Competitive Intelligence 

Descriptive analytics explains a company’s past performance so that the leadership, management, marketing, and sales teams can learn how their strategies have contributed to business objectives. 

Diagnostic analytics adds value to historical performance records by identifying methods to improve productivity, capital efficiency, and risk assessment. It helps companies solve the problems encountered in the preceding business quarters. 

6| Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics 

Predictive analytics utilizes machine learning to estimate how market forces, consumer preferences, regulatory policies, and competitor strategies will evolve. Corporations also use it to eliminate the gaps in market research and competitive analysis databases. 

Prescriptive analytics offers practical solutions to combat business risks identified by predictive ML models. It is vital to preventing or mitigating the potential losses attributed to market volatility, the introduction of new laws, and macroeconomic events. 

Conclusion 

Leveraging analytics to identify customer insights is the most prominent advantage of marketing research. Besides, enterprises utilize primary research in authoritative content. Additionally, secondary market research finds valuable trends across social media platforms and review sites. 

Qualitative research differs from quantitative analytics since the raw datasets vary in structure. Meanwhile, automated aggregation tools have replaced manual data collection procedures. If you want to do market research and competitive analysis, consider these developments before hiring a consultant. 

A leader in market research consulting, SG Analytics supports enterprises in extracting customer insights by performing analytics on primary and secondary data sources. Contact us today if you want outcome-oriented technological assistance with automated aggregation capabilities.

With millions of products available on this platform, getting noticed can be a real challenge. This is where Amazon SEO Optimization becomes crucial. To help e-commerce brands succeed, here are some effective Amazon SEO tips.

1. Understanding Amazon's A9 Algorithm

Before diving into SEO strategies, it's essential to grasp how Amazon's A9 algorithm works. A9 is Amazon's search engine, and understanding its intricacies is the foundation of successful Amazon SEO. It's worth noting that A9 differs from Google's algorithm. While Google aims to provide information, Amazon's primary goal is to generate sales. Therefore, the factors that influence rankings on Amazon are unique.

2. Keyword Research and Optimization

Keywords are the backbone of Amazon SEO. Start with in-depth Amazon keyword research to identify high-value, relevant keywords for your products. Utilise tools like Merchant Words, Helium 10, or Amazon's own keyword tool. When crafting product descriptions, weave the keyword into the narrative seamlessly. Describe what makes your product stand out and why it's a one-of-a-kind find for customers.

3. Compelling Product Titles and Descriptions

Your product title is the first thing customers see. It should be both descriptive and compelling. Balancing clarity and creativity is essential. Ensure that the most important keywords are present in the title while making it engaging. For product Product ranking on Amazon descriptions, provide detailed information about the product's features, benefits, and usage.

4. Optimizing Product Images

High-quality images are crucial for conversions. Optimize your product images by ensuring they meet Amazon's image requirements. Use high-resolution images, showcase the product from different angles, and include lifestyle images when possible. Don't forget to include relevant keywords in the image file names and alt text.

5. Enhanced Brand Content and A+ Content

Enhanced Brand Content (EBC) and A+ Content offer a unique opportunity to tell your brand's story and highlight product features. Create engaging content modules with high-quality images, infographics, and multimedia elements. This not only enhances your product listings but also positively influences SEO.

6. Maintaining Competitive Pricing

Pricing is a critical factor for both conversions and SEO. Competitive pricing can improve your chances of winning the Buy Box and attract more customers. By offering a unique pricing structure, you can set yourself apart from competitors.

7. Managing Customer Reviews and Ratings

Positive customer reviews and high ratings are not only crucial for credibility but also for SEO. Fostering a unique culture of customer engagement is key to a thriving Amazon presence. Actively encourage contented customers to share their experiences through reviews, and swiftly attend to any distinctive negative feedback.

8. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Benefits

Utilizing Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) can enhance your SEO efforts. FBA products often qualify for Prime eligibility, which can lead to higher visibility and more conversions. Consider using FBA for your best-selling items.

9. Monitoring and Analyzing Performance

Regularly monitor your Amazon SEO performance by tracking key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and sales. This data-driven approach allows you to make informed decisions that set your e-commerce business apart.
