I use a simple spreadsheet to track our competition's pricing adjustments every week. This has helped us to:
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|

I advise classifying competitors as:
|
|
|
|
|
* Main competitors (offering equivalent solutions)
|
|
|
|
|
* Indirect competitors (with limited resemblance)
|
|
|
|
|
* Emerging disruptors (new businesses with game-changing potential)
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

Recently, I witnessed as three rival companies poured resources into developing their business on a specific social media platform. Their attempts flopped as the platform proved to be a mismatch for [Awaker.Info](https://Awaker.info/home.php?mod=space&uid=7197956&do=profile&from=space) our market.

As someone who has created over 30 Arabic websites in the recent years, I can assure you that applying Western UX standards to Arabic interfaces simply doesn't work. The special features of Arabic language and Saudi user expectations require a specialized approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Relocated product images to the left portion, with product specifications and buy buttons on the right
|
|
|
|
|
* Modified the photo slider to move from right to left
|
|
|
|
|
* Incorporated a custom Arabic typeface that maintained readability at various scales
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're developing or revamping a website for the Saudi market, I advise working with specialists who really grasp the complexities of Arabic user experience rather than just adapting Western interfaces.

|
|
|
|
* Motion content consumption at significantly higher levels than global averages
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
