Once an organization moves into the global economy, it’s a whole new world. Fast-paced, interconnected, and constantly evolving conditions are hallmarks of operating at the multi-regional level. So how do enterprises stay ahead of their competition while also staying ahead of unique pricing dynamics across multiple diverse regions?
The bad news is that these markets are only going to become more complex with time, and that effective competitive price tracking is no longer a luxury. It’s essential.
That said, there is a silver lining. If you can master competitive price tracking for multi-regional markets better than your competition, you’ll have a leg up that they won’t be able to beat. At Profitmind we’ve not only built the go-to platform for competitive price tracking — we’re also determined to help our audience become more informed about how to use tools like these. Here are some strategies for optimizing your competitive price tracking at the enterprise level.
Let’s start with the basics. Why is competitive price tracking so essential?
First, it empowers your business to monitor and respond to market trends, competitor pricing, and the differences that come from diverse regions. It’s especially important for those multi-regional operations because pricing strategies that work for one market won’t be effective in another (and might even be harmful to your bottom line.)
Competitive price tracking helps avoid that issue. It gives you the informed decision-making power that only comes from understanding competitor trends, helping everything you do relating to pricing and inventory management become more data-driven.
It also means you can find that perfect balance between profitability and competitiveness with the market, without tipping too far in one direction. That also matters for your customers — aligning with market expectations helps you retain your current customer base while attracting new buyers.
Finally, competitive price tracking keeps you agile. When prices shift in regional markets, you can shift alongside them and avoid lost market share.
We’ve covered some of the general challenges of competitive price tracking already, but it’s worth getting a bit more granular. Here are some of the key problems enterprises encounter.
More data isn’t always better, especially if you don’t know how to analyze it. Pricing data coming in from multiple regions in huge volumes can make it difficult to extract anything meaningful.
Consider how much fluctuation and evolution happens in a single region within the modern market. Now consider how every individual region goes through its own changes in local demand, regulations, currency fluctuations, and other factors. Tracking and managing all of these at the same time can seem almost impossible.
Resource allocation is also a major issue. Enterprises often struggle to determine how much they should budget for competitive price tracking. How much is enough? How much is too much?
One region may have one ultra-dominant leader in a particular industry, while another may present a huge range of competitors all vying for market share.
These are certainly not the only challenges that come from trying to master competitive price tracking across regions, but in our experience they’re some of the most widespread and significant.
Addressing all the challenges outlined above can seem like a massive task. But fortunately there are some best practices that can significantly help. These strategies won’t just help you improve your operations relating to price tracking, they’ll also help you work toward a clear, unified strategy that can be applied across regions.
The one thing you can count on in regional markets is change. That means your enterprise should be constantly and continuously monitoring those fluctuations so that your pricing strategy doesn’t become outdated as soon as it’s put into place. That’s why at Profitmind, we’ve automated price tracking so that you can stay tuned-in to evolving marketing dynamics without intensive manual time burn.
Large volumes of data can be great. But as we already mentioned, they’re not the whole picture. Focus on data that’s clear, accurate, and validated. Accurate and usable data is absolutely essential for competitive price tracking in multi-regional markets.
When it comes to processing all of that quality data, you need the right tools for the job. Profitmind’s competitive intelligence platform is built to offer the insights you need to excel. Powered by machine learning and made for enterprise businesses, Profitmind gives you actionable data and direction on the right actions to take.
When it comes to multi-regional markets, it’s time to let go of the idea that one pricing model can be uniformly applied from one place to the next. Use regional pricing strategies that take into account all the data-driven factors that matter most — economic factors, regional competitors, and even considerations like cultural atmospheres that can be powerful drivers of consumer behavior.
The Profitmind platform is designed for the complex environment of multi-regional markets. It offers real-time competitive insights based on pricing data from regional competitors, with a highly visual platform that makes understanding the data simple.
We also offer deep localization capability, helping you not only understand but also set prices based on complex regional market differences.
We also don’t just help you respond to changes — we help you proactively stay ahead of them, with predictive tools that help you stay profitable no matter how the environment changes.
Changes in technologies and the global markets in which they operate are only going to speed up. AI, blockchain, and other issues will continue to shatter paradigms and leave enterprises struggling to keep up.
You don’t have to be one of them. With a tool like Profitmind, you can stay ahead of innovations and market fluctuations to set the bar for competitive pricing in any market.
