# How to Analyse a Competitor’s Pricing & Promotion Strategy Using Saara AI

This guide explains **how consumer brand marketers can use Saara AI** to analyse a competitor’s pricing and promotion strategy using **on-demand, deep market analysis** — with the option to create workflows for ongoing monitoring.

---

#### When to use this analysis

Marketers typically run this analysis when they need to:

- Evaluate competitor pricing before a campaign
- Understand discounting behaviour during peak seasons
- Enter a new market or category
- Review pricing drift or margin pressure
- Prepare for quarterly or annual planning

Saara AI is designed for **focused, high-signal analysis**, not passive tracking.

---

#### Step 1: Choose the brand or competitor to analyse

Start by selecting the brand you want to analyse.

Saara AI works using **publicly available and market-visible data**, allowing you to analyse competitors without requiring their internal access.

You can analyse:

- a direct competitor
- a category leader
- an aspirational benchmark brand

---

#### Step 2: Run an on-demand pricing analysis

Once selected, Saara AI performs a **deep brand and pricing analysis** that includes:

- Product-level price distribution
- Identification of core selling price bands
- Entry-level vs premium SKU mix
- Pricing spread across categories

This helps answer:

> “Where does this brand really compete on price?”

---

#### Step 3: Analyse promotions and offer mechanics

Next, review the competitor’s promotion strategy.

Saara AI highlights:

- Active and recent discounts
- Bundle-led vs flat discount strategies
- Category-specific promotions
- Campaign intensity across time periods

This allows marketers to understand:

> “How aggressively does this brand rely on promotions to drive sales?”

---

#### Step 4: Review category-wise pricing behaviour

Pricing strategies often vary by category.

Saara AI breaks down:

- price positioning by category
- discount depth across categories
- focus areas vs experimental segments

This helps teams align their own pricing and promotions with **real market behaviour**, not assumptions.

---

#### Step 5: Create a workflow for ongoing monitoring (optional)

If you want to track changes over time, Saara AI allows you to create **custom workflows**.

These workflows can:

- rerun the same analysis periodically
- alert you when significant pricing or promotion changes occur
- capture snapshots for comparison across time

This gives you **controlled, intentional monitoring** — without noise.

---

#### Step 6: Interpret insights and take action

Saara AI provides **market-driven insights**, not final decisions.

Teams typically use these insights to:

- adjust pricing bands
- plan promotion mechanics
- identify over-discounted SKUs
- align campaign timing with market behaviour

Final pricing decisions should always factor in **internal costs and margins**.

---

#### What this analysis does and does not do

### What it does

- Provides deep, on-demand competitor pricing intelligence
- Surfaces patterns across products, categories, and campaigns
- Helps marketers prepare smarter pricing and promotion strategies

### What it does not do

- It does not assume continuous tracking by default
- It does not access competitor internal data
- It does not automatically change prices or promotions
