Hi Cate,

This isn't so much spying as just paying simple attention. It's also a good reminder for you that your competition may be doing the same. So continuing to do the same thing over time may bring diminishing returns. As your competitors figure out what you're up to, you'll need to make constant tweaks in your strategy to keep you ahead.
