5 signs a competitor is preparing a price promotion
Price changes rarely come without warning. Here are five signals that often predict them.
Why it matters
When a competitor cuts prices, you have to react quickly. Catch the change late and you lose customers and margin.
What to look for
Watch for these signals: sudden edits in price lists, new discount campaigns in newsletters, clearance banners, changes in stock availability and rising marketing activity.
When several appear at once, the odds of a price promotion rise sharply.
How to react
Prepare a scenario in advance. You do not have to cut prices straight away — often it is enough to highlight your own strengths, availability or added services.
