What could be the positioning of a product, company or service?

Positioning methods:

  1. Attributive positioning. Based on one specific attribute of the product, or rather, on its main advantage. Many companies build their positioning around the deep roots of the brand. For example, the positioning of the Nigerian First Bank is built around the fact that it is the oldest bank in the country.
  2. Merits positioning. The main key advantage of the product or its value is chosen and played up in the USP. For example: the safest Volvo car or the most long-lasting Duracell batteries.
  3. The emphasis on a specific audience — positioning, focused on a specific target audience or its segment, while all other segments are cut off. For example: women's taxi, clothes for expectant mothers, computers for designers, professional shoes for football players, etc.

  2. Competitive positioning — a clear contrast with competitors. For example, Nikola quass with the company “Drink non-Coke!”, or an American car rental company with a slogan: “Hertz — we are second on the market, therefore we are trying more”. In Ukraine, the competition between Gala and Fairy is clearly mmarked.In Fairy advertising campaigns, they constantly emphasize that their products last for a longer period of time than ordinary means.
