Brand  Posi)oning  

Brand  Posi)oning  Brand  Posi1oning  is  the  star1ng  point  for  the  development  of  all  your  marke1ng  elements.  – Build  your  marke)ng  and  sales  efforts  around  a  core  message:  Who  are  you?  What  makes  you  different?  

The  Role  of  Your  Brand  Your  brand  defines  what  you  stand  for.  It’s  what  makes  you  compe11ve.  – How  do  you  want  consumers  to  view  your  product,  compared  to  your  compe))on?  

– What  is  the  single  most  compelling  and  persuasive  reason  to  buy  your  product?  

The  Advantage  of  a  Strong  Brand    Brand  posi1oning  creates  an  enduring  and  sustainable  compe11ve  advantage  based  on  the  percep1on  of  superiority.  

“Safe”   “Fresh”   “It  Runs”  

Brand  Consistency  is  Key  Your  sales  and  marke1ng  efforts  need  to  be  consistent  with  your  brand  to  reinforce  your  posi1on  and  not  erode  it.  – Great  brand  posi)oning  is  simple,  single-­‐minded,  consumer  focused,  and  easy  to  leverage.  

– Great  brand  posi)oning  differen)ates  you!
