Strategic positioning is one of the most important areas of Marketing. In fact, many brands fail due to a poorly executed positioning strategy. In order to understand positioning, we need to be clear on what positioning is.
Positioning is the idea that a company or brand can be different things to different people. For example, to one person, Apple could be just a computer company. To another, Apple represents innovation and design. The trick to positioning is to know who you want to target with your positioning and which of the messages you want to deliver.
Positioning is the process of creating a psychological position in the minds of the target audience. Positioning is the key to successful marketing, whether it’s an individual product or a whole brand. In fact, strategic positioning is the reason why some products fail and others succeed. Discover how to position your brand, product, or service successfully. Every business needs to be able to position itself in the market.
