In business, analyzing and adhering towards the consumer buying behavior is a good way to keep your business in track. This is something people tend to forget when they make business plans.

3. Subscribe to your competitors sites and newsletters - Oh yes. Spying is essential when it comes to business. Since we don't want to do anything unethical like planting a mole or bugging business meetings what you can do is read their latest public statements.
