Japan competitormonitoring
Japan competitor monitoring is a continuous read on how your brand and your competitors are discussed in Japanese social media and e-commerce reviews. It starts at $1,900 per month with a three-month minimum.
When brands use this
- You are already selling in Japan but cannot see your reputation beyond the sales figures
- A competitor has launched and you need the Japanese reaction quickly
- You license a listening tool but nobody on the team reads Japanese well enough to use it
What you receive
- A movement hypothesis: what changed this period and why
- The gap between how you and your competitors are described, against the previous period
- Alerts on changes that are expensive to miss, sent as they happen
- A PDF in English, monthly or fortnightly depending on plan
How it runs
- We agree the brands, competitors and keywords to track at the start
- We collect continuously and read in Japanese
- We write about the change, not the volume. If nothing moved, we say so
- We review what is being tracked every quarter
