It is always wise to understand what your competitors movements are within the market, so keeping an eye on them is an important element that can help develop your own business.

Further to this though its just as important to conduct research amongst your existing customer base as they are key; especially if your business relies on repeat purchases.

The more you pay interest in your customers and their requirements the more they will stick with you.
