We track prices of services, products (batteries, wiper blades, etc.) and even tires. We mystery shop retail service facilities, dealerships and even tire warehouses and provide this market intellience to our clients.
Do you think that this informaiton would be valuable to consumers? If so, wht do you think the consumer would like to see?

Take a look at "Consumer Reports." Their online and magazine presentation on products is well organized and should give you an idea how to set up your information. Also note that Consumer Reports charges a small single use or a flat yearly rate to view their research information.
Goals are attainable at any age. It just seems to take longer the older we get.

What other sources do your clients have for this information? If none, congratulations, then get yourself out to your customers and tell them about your service. If there is competition, how do you differ, how are you better and why should your customer use your service and not your competitior? And no, price is never, never the issue. Take a look at Jeffrey Gitomer's site, www.gitomer.com for the definitive sales information for any commodity or service.

Analysis of competitors and the market place prior to moving into the market is always challenging. Especially on a shoe string budget. I really enjoyed reading this article and learning the different tactics which new and existing business owners should do.
I am a co-founder of a site called: eCompetitors.com. It provides industry analyses on the top 10,000 global industries,
covering approximately 95% of the $57 trillion global economy - all
presented in one holistic framework with tools that enable quick
analysis of one industry or a group of industries, as well as analysis
of a single company or side-by-side analysis of multiple companies.
I do not want to sound like I am promoting my site, but it may be a site of interest for people to go to which may help do competitive and market analysis.
