distribution channels

consumers to see their product
about how you want consumers to

perceived by consumers
A product's position is how
potential buyers see the product
A platform for the brand: It

Developing a Positioning Strategy
depends much on how competitors

themselves close to their competitors
so consumers can make a direct
comparison when they purchase
‘away from their competitors’
strategy
3 Types of Concepts

meaningfulness.

firm must be able to position itself in both
distinct value, proposition, and to its target
audience.
b. Consistency: Consistency in
positioning means keeping the positioning
plank/bases intact for longtime. But it does
not mean that the firm must change its
positioning bases even though its survival
is at stake. The firm must be flexible to the
changing environment.
c. Credibility: The firm must deliver
trustworthy and believable value
proposition. There should be perfect
match between promise and action.
