Positioning Process

1. Market Positioning2. Psychological Positioning

• Objective Positioning• Subjective Positioning

3. Positioning Approaches

Page 73: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Market Positioning

• “The market positioning process of identifying and selecting markets to determine the criteria for competitive success.”

Page 74: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Psychological Positioning

• “Psychological Positioning enables marketers to create a unique product image with the objective of creating interest”.

Page 76: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Psychological Positioning

• Objective Positioning :- The objective positioning relates to the objective attributes of physical products or service.

• Subjective Positioning :- inspiring customer with some intangible offering

Types of Mass Customization (1)

• The Four Faces of Mass Customization – – Joseph Pine and James Gilmore - Jan.-Feb. 1997 Harvard

Business Review

– 1. Collaborative Customization:• Consumer and producer engage in a dialogue to determine

customer requirements• Computers, clothing and footwear, furniture, some services

– 2. Adaptive Customization: • Product is designed so that users can alter it themselves to

fit unique requirements on different occasions• High-end office chairs, R7 golf club, certain electronic

devices

Page 99: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

– 3. Cosmetic Customization: • Product is unique in appearance only• Customer’s chosen text or image on T-shirts, mouse mats,

baseball caps, mugs etc.• Also called ‘Personalization’

– 4. Transparent Customization: • Producer provides customized product without consumer

being necessarily being aware that it has been customized• Can be used when consumer’s needs are predictable or can

be easily deduced, and when customers do not want their requirements repeated.

• Example- repeat orders for customized clothing, chemicals

Page 104: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

True Mass Customization

• True Mass Customization requires:– System for customer to specify

requirements easily e.g. Costumer service department, online ordering, call centre.

– Advanced manufacturing & communication systems

• Enable economies of scope (keep cost and price low)

– Build-to-order approach • product is not made until order is received (Book:

Build to Order and Mass Customization – David M. Anderson)

– Minimum order quantity of one

Page 105: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Advantages of MC

– Customer has control over product– Does not have to pay for features he/she

does not want (computers etc.)– Company does not have finished product

inventory better use of working capital– Easier for company to differentiate

product– Levels out economic fluctuations

• When slowdown occurs, less backlog of inventory• Prices do not have to be cut as much• Therefore, less likelihood of recession

Page 106: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

What Mass Customization Isn’t

• Massive Product Variety – Customer has Choice but not Control;

– E.g. ‘Personalize your cellphone with any of our 2000 skins’

• Advanced ordering system linked to craft production• Personalization or mass customization of Marketing:

– Use of knowledge about customer to personalize marketing of standard products.

– Data gathered from loyalty schemes, etc.• Customized products with minimum quantities

– ‘Your design on a T-shirt, minimum order 100’

Page 107: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Examples of Mass Customization

• Dell– Build to order computers– Assembly, not manufacture (modular

components)– MC sometimes associated with higher prices

but Dell cheaper than most– Why? Massive efficiency of supply chain

management– ‘Living in Dell Time’ - Fast Company, Nov. 2004

Page 108: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

• Clothing and Footwear– NikeID, MiAdidas, Otabo Shoes, Vans– Bivolino (shirts), U-Jeans, Land’s End, Target,

Tommy Hilfiger– Clothing and footwear very suited to MC due to

each person being unique in size and shape

• Sports Equipment– Nautilus (treadmills)

• Industrial equipment, construction– Kingspan – insulated roof and wall panels,

made to order for size, colour, insulation type

Page 109: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services
Page 110: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services
Page 111: segmentation, targeting & positioning of services

Mass Customization of Services

• Difficult to define when a service is mass customized rather than just ‘customized’

• Degree of automation required• Examples

– MyYahoo, MyMSN, Google Personalized– Personalized songs – Instasong.com– I.T. – providing services in similar way to object oriented

software – small pre-existing components of work combined to create overall service

– Requires increased efficiency and lower prices so as not to be just ‘packaging’ of existing services
