MARKET POSITIONING
The act of designing a company’s offering and image to occupy a distinctive place in the minds of the target market. The goal is to locate the brand in the minds of consumers to maximize the potential benefit to the firm.
According to Ries and Trout, there are three positioning alternatives:
- Strengthen a brand’s current position in the mind of the consumers
- Search for a new unoccupied position that is valued by enough consumers and occupy that
- De-position or re-position the competition
In order to position a brand you must decide…
…who the target consumer is
…who your main competitors are
…how the brand is similar to your competitors
…how the brand is different from your competitors
