- 16. Positioning Statement Brand X is a new line of healthy and delicious functional foods - for babies 6 to 12 months of age - that is the best the world has to offer. Mothers who buy this line are early adopters. They are discerning, world-aware consumers, who lead busy lives and who think Brand X products are the only acceptable alternative to home-made food. In addition to their organic certification and convenient form factor, Brand X products afford babies superior nutritional value and a variety of flavors and textures -- drawn from other cultures -- that will broaden their palates as they grow. Brand X mothers like to extend their socially-conscious lifestyle to the products they purchase. For them, Brand X does good by donating a portion of profits to support healthy nutrition for children.
