BRAND POSITIONING

RAVINDER SINGH
MBA I (IIND SEM)
BRAND POSITIONING
“Positioning is not what you do to a product. positioning is
how you differentiate yourself in the mind of the prospect.
That is, you position the product in the mind of the
prospect.”

Example: When you listen word “Mercedes-Benz”


The first word that comes to your mind is “prestige”. Here “Mercedes-
Benz” is a brand which has been positioned in our minds in such a
way that whenever we listen to it, we start thinking of prestige it is
called Positioning.
How these companies positioned
themselves
 Mercedes-Benz ……………… …. prestige.
 BMW …………………………… ……. driving.
 Volvo…………………………….. …. Safety.
 Starbucks………………………… high-end coffee..
 Rolex………………………………… high-end watches.
 Google ……….…………………….. Search.
 Red bull ………………………… energy drink.
 FedEx…………………………… … overnight (delivery)
WHYPOSITIONONG IS NECESSARY?
Positioning Levels

You differentiate or die
Advertising has entered a new era where creativity is no
longer the key to success, today a company must create
a position in the prospect’s mind. A position which is
unique and based on company’s strengths and on
realities.You don’t lie you only exaggerate.

Adopting a strong position is not a passive act; rather it
is a deliberate attempt to influence events. It requires
