Competitive Frame of Reference
The competitive frame of reference defines which other brands a brand compete with and therefore which brands should be the focus of competitive analysis.
In other words, competitive frame of reference is the market you compete in.

Points of Difference (POD)
Points-of-difference (PODs) are attributes or benefits that consumers strongly associate with a brand, positively evaluate, and believe they could not find to the same extent with a competitive brand. Strong brands may have multiple points-of-difference.

3 Criteria That Determine Whether A Brand Association Can Function As Points-of-
Difference.
Desirable to consumer - Consumers must see the brand association as personally relevant to them.
Deliverable by the company - The company must have the resources and commitment to feasibly and profitably create and maintain the brand association in the minds of consumers. The ideal brand association is preemptive, defensible, and difficult to attack.
Differentiating from competitors - Consumers must see the brand association as distinctive and superior to competitors.

Points of Parity (POP)
Points-of-parity (POPs) are attributes or benefit associations that are not necessarily unique to the brand but may be shared with other brands. Category points-of-parity are associations come in two forms: category and competitive. Category points-of-parity may change over time due to technological advances, legal developments, or consumer trends.

Choosing POPs and PODs
For choosing specific benefits as POPs and PODs to position a brand, marketers may use perceptual maps, visual representations of consumer perceptions and preferences. These provide quantitative portrayals of market situations and consumer perceptions along various dimensions, revealing "openings" that suggest unmet consumer needs and marketing opportunities.

3 Ways to Convey A Brand’s Category Membership
Announcing category benefits - To ensure consumers that a brand will deliver on the fundamental reason for using a category, marketers frequently use benefits to announce category membership. Thus, industrial tools might claim to have durability.
Comparing to exemplars - Well-known, noteworthy brands in a category can help a brand specify its category membership.
Relying on the product descriptor - The product descriptor that follows the brand name is a concise means of conveying category origin. Amazon.com calls its Kindle a "wireless reading device" to communicate category membership.
