Competitor Analysis
Competitor Comparison
| Brand | Price | Monthly Sales | Reviews | Core Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freeman | $6.89 | 23,393 | 16,162 | Spray format differentiation, Amazon direct, ultra-low price |

Market Gaps
- B2B/Wholesale positioning — almost no competitor targets B2B on Amazon; the old site's "wholesale" page is a unique advantage
- Multi-pack options — PLANTIFIQUE only offers 1-pack and 2-pack, missing 4/6/12-pack bundles
- Natural ingredient focus — most competitors use standard formulas; natural/botanical positioning is under-exploited
- Before/after content — peeling process content has high engagement potential but few competitors do it well

Risk Factors
