Market Insights Snapshot
Starting with the topical category, LivRelief has shown steady performance in British Columbia, maintaining a rank within the top 5 from July to October 2023. However, in Alberta, the brand experienced a slight drop in rankings, moving from 5th place in July to 8th place in October. This may be indicative of increasing competition in this market. Interestingly, LivRelief's performance in Ontario mirrors that of Alberta, with a slip from 4th to 8th place over the same period. It's worth noting that the absence of ranking numbers for certain months signifies that LivRelief did not make it to the top 20 brands in those states and categories.
When we examine the sales trends, it's apparent that LivRelief's sales have been declining in all three provinces from July to October. This is particularly noticeable in Alberta, where sales decreased from 25,487 in July to 4,796 in October. Similarly, in Ontario, sales fell from 58,976 to 17,710. Despite this, LivRelief managed to maintain a consistent rank in British Columbia, suggesting a resilient brand presence in this market. However, in Saskatchewan, LivRelief only managed to rank in July, with sales figures significantly lower than in other provinces. This could indicate a need for increased marketing efforts in this region.
Competitive Landscape
In the Topical category within British Columbia, LivRelief has been maintaining a steady position among the top 5 brands.
