While there's clear interest in your idea, the market is saturated with similar offerings. To succeed, your product needs to stand out by offering something unique that competitors aren't providing. The challenge here isn’t whether there’s demand, but how you can capture attention and keep it.
Should You Build It?
Not before thinking deeply about differentiation.
Your are here
Your idea for a composting service taps into a growing awareness of food waste and sustainable living. There's a clear interest in solutions that help manage organic material responsibly, as seen by the existence of similar products. However, with 7 other similar products already out there, you're entering a competitive terrain. The average engagement is moderate, with about 6 comments per product, suggesting that while people are interested, they might not be overly enthusiastic. The fact that there is a positive buy signal for similar products is a good sign and the percentile info suggests it is very rare and strong. However, to truly succeed, you'll need a strategy that differentiates your service and captures a dedicated user base.
Recommendations
- Begin with extensive market research, diving deep into the existing composting services and identifying their shortcomings. For example, some users were concerned about refund policies for composting services and they also wondered about pickup procedures. This will provide a roadmap for your service, highlighting opportunities to offer something unique or improve upon existing models. Consider what those 7 other companies don't offer.
- Develop a unique selling proposition (USP) that sets your composting service apart. This could be a specific technology, a niche market focus (e.g., restaurants, apartment complexes), or a superior customer experience. Maybe it's as simple as a lower price point. Whatever it is, make sure it's clearly communicated in your marketing.
- Focus on building a strong brand and marketing strategy. Since competition is high, a memorable brand and targeted marketing are crucial for attracting customers. Highlight the environmental benefits of your service, and consider partnerships with local businesses or community organizations to expand your reach.
- Start with a small, well-defined target market, and gather continuous feedback to refine your service. The open-sourced compost monitoring tech users, for example, reported sensor accuracy issues and calibration problems, as well as battery information and sensor quality issues. Early adopters can provide invaluable insights for improvement.
- Create educational content around composting to attract potential customers. This could include blog posts, social media content, and workshops. Position yourself as an expert in the field, building trust and authority with your target audience.
- Explore partnerships with local farms or gardens to close the loop on your composting service. By providing compost back to the community, you can create a tangible benefit for your customers and strengthen your brand's commitment to sustainability.
Questions
- What specific problems do existing composting services fail to address, and how can your service uniquely solve them?
- How can you leverage technology or innovative processes to create a composting service that is more efficient, convenient, or sustainable than existing options?
- What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) you will use to measure the success of your composting service, and how will you track and analyze these metrics over time?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.
The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments.
The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category.
The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
