MarketShare: A Competitive Advantage
OpenBrand’s MarketShare product provides a significant competitive advantage by offering nuanced and accurate market intelligence that presents a clear picture of brand, retailer, and SKU performance within each product type, category, and industry.
To measure market share accurately and dependably requires a mosaic of information. Historically, providers have depended too heavily on one specific type of data (e.g. receipts, surveys, web collected data). To drive accuracy and coverage we go beyond traditional receipt and POS data barriers with groundbreaking modeled insights that deliver pricing and share for key retailers, brands, top industry models, and more. OpenBrand MarketShare clients gain access to our innovative competitive intelligence dashboards, which use a broad set of proprietary inputs to deliver market share insights.
Market Insights for Retailers
Get insight into sales at the industry’s biggest retailers. At OpenBrand we know that three major retailers account for over 60% of retail market sales. MarketShare monitors the drivers and tracks performance for these retailers by each product, including share trends, SKU rankings, and leaderboard.
Market Insights for Brands
Monitor brand performance while tracking competitors. By tracking brand and manufacturer performance by product type, including share trends, SKU rankings, and brand leaderboard, OpenBrand clients stay ahead of the competition.
Understand Share Shifts
Identify which SKUs are winning — and why — to better plan product development, marketing, merchandising, and more with OpenBrand’s MarketShare product connected to our Competitive Intelligence data. Using precise SKU and brand-level competitive intelligence data, brands can uncover critical performance driving strategies, revenue streams, and untapped market opportunities. This data allows brands to benchmark against competitors, identify strengths to capitalize on, and mitigate gaps in strategy.
Time-Series Performance Metrics
Stay on top of product trends, market changes and shifting brand and SKU performance. OpenBrand’s MarketShare compares periodic performance over time including brands, features, and models. MarketShare also allows for deep analysis of floor placement, product position, pricing, and more.
Market share data isn’t just about understanding position; it’s about using that understanding to make strategic decisions.
By identifying market trends and shifts in consumer behavior, brands and retailers can proactively adjust strategies to better align with consumer demands. This adaptability is crucial to maintain a competitive edge.
