One of the most powerful features of a product imho is a product that can surface competitive analysis to you. What is your competition doing publicly that you can learn from can be key to your business? So we thought it would be great to give you insight into what your competitors are doing on social media right in your Dasheroo data dashboard.
Competitive Dashboards Released!
Now it’s super-
easy to analyze what your competition is doing right within your new Dasheroo competitive analysis dashboard! We just released the first version of our competitor insights, so you’ll be able to either set up a Competitive Dashboard template or you can set up your competition’s insights right next to your own!
Here is what you’ll be able to track…
Facebook – Track the trending growth of fans over time of competitor’s Facebook Pages. It also includes % changes (note: they need to have a publicly-available Facebook Page)
Twitter – Track tending growth of follower activity for chosen competitors
Instagram – Track trending growth of Instagram followers for your competitor profiles
YouTube – Track trending growth of YouTube subscribers for your competitor profiles
For now all competitive insights are free, get them while they’re hot!
Hint: you can also set up some RSS feeds to see what your competition is posting to their site or blog right alongside their Fan/Follower insights so you can see what content might be driving their numbers.
What Else?
We released the ability to download your business dashboard to a PDF or PNG. This is perfect if you’ve got to email or print your dashboards to a client, team member or boss. You need to be on the Grande or Venti plan to get access. This entire release was huge with 55 feature releases and 25 bug fixes. Our engineering and product team rock!

Newbie
We’d like to welcome Dharini Sundaram to our Product Management team. She brings a wealth of agile product management to the team from such companies as Resilience Software, Cognizant Technology Solutions, eBay, Joeysearch, and mohCare to name a few! The cool thing is that she was in product development before she made the move to product management.
Onwards ad upwards, John at Dasheroo.
