Never considered the South West thing before, but having that think out side the box mentality is crucial in this day and age. I think that before you can figure out who your true competitors are, you’d better first realize that knowing what separates you from the pack is the first and most important thing you can do. Why, because it doesn’t matter if you try and sale them on why they should buy from you rather then from x competitor, if you don’t have that unique factor about you, you’ll be just another voice screaming in the crowd I hope that what I am saying makes since, thanks for the post keep them coming Hey Ryan, as usual, you cause me to think and that is always a good thing.

For instance, we were looking for the best deal to get to Cancun. In January we found plenty flights (flew in late April and just got back a week ago, the beginning of May) for $385. Unfortunately, they went through Houston, Atlanta, or Miami. We chose a $515 flight direct from LAX and back. It only takes 4 hours to get there and 5 hours back (who knew?) and there is no worries of missing your luggage and having to run the length of terminal B in Denver like we did last year so we wouldn't miss a connecting flight. In this case, the real competition was inconvenience. Looking beyond the obvious has become mandatory for marketers and copywriters like us to stay ahead of the competition, no matter who the competition is. As is normal Ryan, you provoke thought and add value to the world around you. Thanks for that. As a consumer, we always weigh costs.

I've been advocating this position since at least 1991, when I wrote about an ad from a group of florists telling people not to buy their flowers in a grocery store. I started my business as a typing service; my competitor became PCs. By then I was writing resumes, but the MS Word template pretty much killed that. Fortunately, I'd already moved into copywriting :-). Yup.
