Competitor Price Monitoring

• Competitor price monitoring is especially crucial
  for ecommerce businesses. Before you even set up
  a business strategy, it is important to carry out
  a pricing analysis. Every effective business
  strategy is based on price. You cant go against
  your competitors without knowing what they are
  charging and why. In case you want to come up
  with a very distinct pricing model, you must be
  able to justify this to your customers. You
  cannot defend your unique pricing model unless
  you know what other similar businesses are
  charging.
