BRANDIVING · BRAND BENCHMARK

Turn competitive data into better positioning decisions.

Brand Benchmark gives brands a clear view of how their products are positioned versus competition across markets, price points, channels and comparable product attributes. Move from scattered competitor checks to one consistent, actionable benchmark.

ONE VIEW. MULTIPLE DECISIONS.

Understand where your brand stands before deciding where it should go.

Brand Benchmark transforms product and pricing data into a structured competitive view, helping teams identify gaps, validate price architecture and simulate future positioning.

01

Competitive Positioning

Compare your products with relevant competitors using standardized attributes and a consistent benchmark methodology.

02

Price Architecture

Analyse SRP, selling price, price per unit and price index to understand premium, parity or value positioning.

03

Scenario Simulation

Test price increases before implementation and immediately understand the impact on ranking and competitive gaps.

04

Decision-ready Output

Export Actual and To Be scenarios into management-ready PowerPoint slides for pricing, GTM and business reviews.

BENCHMARK TOOLS

Go beyond a simple competitor price list.

Brand Benchmark structures competitive products into meaningful comparable sets, allowing decision makers to understand not only price differences, but the architecture behind them.

Comparable product matching

Create meaningful benchmark groups using category-relevant attributes. For beauty this can include gender, concentration and size; for watches it can include collection, movement, case diameter, material or product tier.

Price Index vs Reference

Select a reference brand or product and automatically calculate the index of every comparable SKU, making price ladders and positioning gaps immediately visible.

Market-by-market analysis

Compare the same competitive universe across countries and retailers to understand where global price architecture is consistent and where local deviations require attention.

Multiple price bases

Analyse recommended retail price or current selling price and identify how promotions or retailer behaviour change effective market positioning.

Actual vs To Be

Simulate future price increases by segment or product family and compare the resulting market position with today’s competitive landscape.

Management-ready presentation

Convert the analysis into clear Actual and To Be PowerPoint matrices, reducing manual preparation for GTM, pricing committees and strategic reviews.

SCENARIO SIMULATION

Test a pricing decision before it reaches the market.

Apply different increases to different segments, keep the assumptions in memory and immediately see how future positioning changes versus competitors.

Answer practical questions such as: How much can we increase without moving above our strategic benchmark? Which product family has more pricing headroom? Which competitor becomes our closest reference after the increase?
