Positioning

Or Seduction
“ Don’t play semantic games with the prospect. Advertising is not a debate. It’s a seduction.”
- Al Ries and Jack Trout, Positioning

Strategies to Stand Out
Understanding your place in the market
Don’t go head to head w/ 800 lb. gorillas
Instead try to seize first within your niche
Differentiate and separate
Reposition the competition
Naming is everything!
Line extensions = bad
