Competitive analyses are extremely important to B2B marketing strategies. They help to identify weaknesses as well as highlight where you’re having success against your competitors. To put it simply: If you’re not measuring your performance against that of your peers, you’re falling behind the competition. When starting a B2B competitive analysis, it can often seem overwhelming. It’s often a struggle to identify comparable competitors and metrics as well as sift through the mountains of data.

This means that less than half of these marketing leaders are actually confident that their team is accurately attributing marketing activities to revenue.

The trick comes in figuring out the winning combination of content, timing, and method of delivery that makes the engagement mean something. One of the most important factors in that equation is seasonality, or “the tendency of consumer expenditure on a good or services to vary in some pattern over the course of a year” ( Ideas in Marketing , Kubacki 2013).
