Brand Positioning


The place a product occupies in
consumers’ minds relative to competing
products.



Identifying and establishing points of parity
and points of difference to establish the
right brand identity and brand image.
Defining Associations


Points of parity: associations that are not
unique to the brand but may be shared with
other brands.



Points of difference: attributes or benefits that
consumers strongly associate with a brand
and they believe that they could not find from a
competitive brand (Mercedeez Benz – Quality
& Prestige)
Principles of Positioning
Positioning is the act of designing the company’s
offering and image so that they occupy a
meaningful and distinct competitive position in
the target customers’ minds (Kotler, 1997)





Points-of-difference in terms of
strong, favorable, and unique brand

Statement

Revitalift Anti-wrinkle and
firming cream reduces facial

Positioning Example

eBay’s positioning: No
matter what “it” is, you
can find “it” on eBay!
Principles of Effective
Positioning


Relevance: Positioning of brand must focus on benefits
that are important to people or reflect the character of the
product.



Clarity: Brand should be positioned in such a way that it
is easy to communicate and quick to comprehend.



Distinctiveness: In current market situation there are
reasonably good number of players vying for a share in
the market, forcing them to compete on the basis of price
or promotion.



Coherence: A brand should speak with one voice through
all the elements of the marketing mix.
Principles of Effective Positioning






Commitment: Management should be committed to
the position it has adopted. Once a position is
adopted, it takes commitment to see it through.
Patience: Patience plays an important role in the
success of brand as branding is not a one-day
wonder – it takes years to position a brand in
consumers’ mind.
Courage: Adopting a strong brand position requires
courage as it is much easier to defend an appeal
rather than generate sales pitch.
Positioning Strategies


Leveraging on Existing Brands' Strategy leverage on the names of the firm's existing
and established brands for extending the
product line or venturing into another product
category



Corporate Brand Positioning Strategy uses his company name/identity for brand
extensions.

Positioning Strategies


Product Features and Benefits Positioning
Strategy - Differentiating the brand on the basis
of its features and benefits offered (USP).



Examples:
Ariel offers a specific benefit of cleaning even the
dirtiest of clothes because of the micro cleaning
system in the product.
Colgate offers benefits of preventing cavity and
fresh breath.
Maruti Suzuki offers benefits of maximum fuel
efficiency and safety over its competitors.






Price-Quality Positioning Strategy






The product is positioned in a way that
the super quality of the product justifies
its high price (quality).
Positioning is done by focusing on the
affordable/low price of the product and its
superior quality.
Consumer experiences a feel good factor
since he's obtaining a quality product at
an economical price (price).

positioned according to their user bases

Positioning Errors








Under positioning: Failing to present a strong
central benefit or reason to buy the product.

positioned at a very narrow customer base that
most of the potential customers will overlook the
brand.
Confused Positioning: By claiming two are more
benefits that contradict each other.
Doubtful Positioning: Claiming a benefit that
customers will doubt that the brand can actually
deliver.
