• Buy either a quality loose leaf notebook or a computer program from a local office supply or software store that deals with spreadsheets and/ or management. This notebook/ software will serve as your detailed list of competitors and their ad practice.
• Search the internet through search engines for competitors and sub-competitors. Make sure you utilize all the major search engines, Google, Yahoo!, Dog Pile, and ECT in order to get the most complete listing of those who sell poker products.
