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

7. Positional strategy – how can it help us?
Which position in the competitive marketplace do we have today.
Which position do we want tomorrow.
How do we create an perceptual position map
Which criteria do we use for the axes
7
www.Office2go.dk
8. How do we build a sustainable advantage ?
Build Barriers:
• Physical: Price leader, superior quality, concession, monopoly
• Perceptual: Brand value, design perception , Consumer orientation
Move position
• Find a more attractive position – segment value, less competition, lower
cost, easier to differentiate etc.
8
www.Office2go.dk
9. Winning positioning
Create a monopoly!
– This is done by differentiating their products/brands from other companies
• Differentiation criteria should meet following criteria:
1. Importance
2. Distinctive and pre-emptive
3. Superior
4. Communicable
5. Affordable
6. Profitable
9

10. Position risk and error
Under-positioning: When customers only have a vague idea about the company or its
products and don’t perceive anything about it.
Over-positioning: When customers have a to narrow understanding of the company’s
product or brand.
Confused positioning: When a company frequently changes and contradictory
messages.
Doubtful positioning: When the claims made for the company, brand or product is not
accepted, whether or not it is true

17. Market segmentation and target marketing
Market Segmentation is the process by which a market is divided into distinct subsets
of customers with similar needs and characteristics that lead them to respond in
similar ways.
Target Marketing requires evaluating the relative attractiveness of various segments –
in terms of market potential, growth rate, competitive intensity etc. and the firms
capabilities to deliver what each segments wants. This is in chapter 10 which is not in
the syllabus this year.
17
www.Office2go.dk
18. Why is segmentation important
1. Increase in competition
• Information technology
• Transportation cost are reduced
• Markets don’t develop in the same speed anymore
• Usage of Brands for line extensions: Easy jet
2. Social and economic forces
• Increase in disposable income
• Higher education
• Easier access to information
3. Trend toward microsegmentation
• New technology
• Unit cost down
18
www.Office2go.dk
20. Segmentation and target marketing process
• Identify a homogenous segment that differ from other segments
and specify criteria that define the segment
• Determine segment size and potential
– Financial figures in measurable characteristics
• Check if the segment can be isolated from the remainder of the
market.
• Visualize the market for better understanding
• Prioritize the segments
• Target the segment or segments that you want to concur (target
marketing)
“The critical issue is to find an appropriate segmentation scheme that will facilitate
target marketing, product positioning, and formulation and successful marketing
strategies and programs”

21. Segmentation in homogeneous and
heterogeneous markets
Are markets homogeneous or heterogeneous?
It is all in the mind of the customer !!!!!
homogeneous heterogeneous

Phoning, skype
Electricity Yes Or……..

22. How do we find these homogenous
customer groups
• Demographic segmentation •To define the target market
• Geographic segmentation •To create a new view of the market
• Behavioral segmentation •To position the product
• Psychographic segmentation •To better communicate product
• Individual segmentation attributes
• Motivational segmentation
22

23. Is it possible to categories homogeneous
customer segments ?
• Before 1975: Demographic
• 1975 -1995: Physiographic (lifestyle): VALS –
RISK
• 1995 - 2000: Minerva – segmenting
• 2000 -> Motivational segmentation in the
post-modernistic world and
microsegmentation

24. Demographic segmentation
• Age
• Sex
• Consumer life cycle
• Income
• Occupation
• Education
• Events
• Race and ethical origin
• Subcultures

25. Psychographic segmentation
VALS 2
• The Values and Lifestyles System
• Three Self-Orientations:
– Principle orientation: Guided by a belief system
– Status orientation: Guided by opinions of peers
– Action orientation: Desire to impact the world around them
• VALS Groups:
- Actualizes (Innovators) – Successful consumers - Believers – have strong principles and favor proven
with many resources, but are concerned with social issues brands
and are open to change.
- Fulfilleds – Satisfied, reflective and comfortable, - Strivers – Like achievers, but with fewer resources.
practical and value functionality They are concerned about the approval of others
- Achievers – Career-oriented and prefer predictability - Makers – Action oriented and tend to focus their
over risk or self discovery energies on self-sufficiency and they will often repair their
things themselves
- Experiences – Are impulse, young and enjoy offbeat - Strugglers – Concerned of meeting the needs of the
or risky experience moment…..

Minerva (eller Kompas)
Minerva-segmenteringen af Henrik Dahl opdeler forbrugerne i livsstils-segmenter
som vist i figuren, hvor ordinaten i diagrammet skiller mellem det moderne og det
traditionelle, men abscissen deler op mellem det fællesskabsorienterede og det
individorienterede.

31. Is it possible to categories homogeneous
customer segments ?
• Before 1975: Demographics
• 1975 - 1995: Psychographics: Vals
• 1995 - 2000: Behavioral: Minerva
• 2000 -> Motivational segmentation in the
post-modernistic world and
microsegmentation
Mere heterogenitet, mindre homogenitet
Årsagen til den begrænsede præcision er i og for sig enkel at forklare. Vi - forbrugerne - er mere og
mere os selv. Vi har råd til (i hvert fald meget mere end tidligere) at tilfredsstille vores egne mindste
ønsker og tilbøjeligheder. Vi kan stadig inddeles i forholdsvis homogene grupper med hensyn til
specifikke karakteristika. Men dels bliver fællestrækkene færre, dels bliver grupperne mindre og
mindre.
Vi motiveres af forskellige ting på forskellige tidspunkter af døgnet, måneden, året og livet –
og segmenteringen går derfor i retning af hvad der motiverer os til at købe en bestemt vare
eller service

32. Den postmodernistiske æra
Eksempler:
• Situationsbestemt forbrug (Institut for fremtidsforskning 2003)
• Her tager mennesket ikke udgangspunkt i sig selv og den type man tilhører, men mere i den
situation som man står i og den rolle man har i situationen.
• Lad os kigge på et godt eksempel ØL!

34. Den postmodernistiske æra
Eksempler:
• Situationsbestemt forbrug (Institut for fremtidsforskning 2003)
• Her tager mennesket ikke udgangspunkt i sig selv og den type man tilhører, men mere i den
situation som man står i og den rolle man har i situationen.
• DA segmenterne er situationsbestemte er det vanskeligt at lave homogene uafhængige grupper,
da grupperne hele tiden bevæger sig!
• CUBEical Thinking (Henrik Andersen & Thomas Ritter)
• Her arbejdes med tre dimensioner: Kundetyper, Roller og Scener:
• Kundetyper omfatter forbrugernes værdier og adfærd
• Roller ses i forhold til andre mennesker og kan skifte
flere gange om dagen
• Scener er de fysiske forhold der giver anledning til
et behov.
Her arbejdes med Roller og Scener sammen med Kundetyper

35. Individual segmentation
• Cellestørrelse: 100 * 100 meter
• Antal celler I DK: 413.092
• Antal boligenheder: 2.661.210
• Antal forbrugere: 5.273.095 (99,85 % af befolkningen)
• Antal livsstilstyper: 29
• Bygget på tilgængelig statistik
Geomatic inddeler den danske befolkning
i 29 forskellige typer, som beskriver
segmenter af konsumenter og forbrugs-
mønstre. Geomatic finder de områder
hvor der er flest af de relevante adresser
i klynger af 150, 100, 50 og helt ned til 20
husstande

40. Behavioral characteristics
Can we predict our competitors moves?
• Laid-back competitor:
– TDC when Telmore was introduced
• The selective competitor:
– Kodak reacted when Fuji Film chance prices but not when digital cameras
where introduced
• The Tiger competition
– P&G products
• The Stochastic competitor
– Typically small businesses without a formal marketing department
