BRAND POSITIONING
Brand positioning refers to the art
and science of fitting the product of
service to one or more segments of
the broad market in such a way as to
set it meaningfully apart from the
competition.
•The brand`s positioning is the place in the consumers mind that you want
your brand to own. It is the benefit you want your consumer to perceive
when they think of your brand.
•A strong brand position means that the brand has a unique, credible and
sustainable position in the mind of the consumer.
•It stands for that one benefit that your product provides apart from your
competition.
• It also gives you the direction required to focus the organisation and focus
on the strategic efforts.

Rules ofpositioning
Basic qualities of brand positioning include:
•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 a reasonably good number of players vying
for a share in the market, forcing them to compete on the basis of price or promotion. To overcome
such a situation, company needs to offer distinctiveness in its products or services.
•Coherence: A brand should speak with one voice through all the elements of the marketing mix.
•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
