Market Positioning
The unique way a brand is delivered to
customers through its Strategy, along with
realization of its Mission & Vision, forms the
basis for exceptional Culture & Values.
That is done using 3 components for conceptual
development:
Differentiation
Specific aspects, benefits and features of the product, service or
organization that set it apart in its market category.
Market Niche
The combination of specific segments of customers and
problems that you seek to solve with your offering.
Reason To Believe
The story of your brand that delivers a compelling rational
setting it apart from the competition.
This process allows the following format to be used to
create a Positioning Statement:
Our [ product/service/organization ] is the only in this
[ market category ] that [ delivered points of differentiation ]
because [ reasons to believe ].
