the mind of the consumer..”

and repositioning
brand positioning
What you need for brand positioning:
1. Overview of the target group
2. Overview of the most important
competitors
3. A) Points of parity regarding
competition
B) Points of difference regarding
competition
Points of parity (POP):
•Positive associations a brand
shares with its competitors
•POPs ensure that brand is accepted
within a certain product category
Points of difference (POD)
•Positive associations a consumer
only connects to one brand
•Functional and/or emotional
•Similar to a USP

PODs must be:
– Relevant: consumers must think the difference is
relevant to them
– Distinctive: consumers must think the difference is
distinctive and superior
– Credible: consumers must think the difference is
credible
– Feasible: can the brand really accomplish what it
promises
– Communicable: are consumers really going to
believe the brand when it communicates a certain
point of difference
– Durable: the point of difference should be defendable
“… it’s easier to create a POP
than it is to create a POD…”
“…there is a difference
between creating a POD and
really getting a POD inside the
mind of the consumer…”
“…what if your brand has
created a strong POD for a
certain product category, and
you want to make use of this
POD for another product
category? …”
Laddering
Attributes (product features)
Benefits (personal values and
advantages connected to
product features)
Values (personal goals)
“…brand laddering
involves progression from
attributes to benefits to
more abstract values.
Laddering involves
repeatedly asking what the
implication of an attribute
or benefit is for the
customer…"
for instance
Attributes: nicotine
Benefits: relaxation, social
smoking, belonging to a group
Values: tough, relaxed,
masculin
