MARKET POSITIONINGPositioning is defined as the process of

designing the company’s products and image to occupy a unique place in the target market’s mind.

Many marketers favor promoting only one major benefit and Rosser Reeves called it as “a unique selling proposition”. Some unique selling propositions (USPs) companies use are best quality, best service, lowest price, best value, safest, more advanced technology, etc.

THE FOUR MAJOR POSITIONING ERRORS• Under positioning: Some companies find

that buyers have only an unclear idea of the brand.

• Over positioning: Buyers have very narrow image of the brand.

• Confused positioning: Buyers have confused image of the brand because the company has made too many claims or changed the brand positioning too frequently.

• Doubtful positioning: Buyers do not easily believe the claims made by brands about the product’s features, price or manufacturer.16

BASES OF POSITIONING THE PRODUCT Attribute positioning: The company positions itself on

the basis of attribute like size or number of years in existence. Sunfeast positions its snacky brand as bigger, lighter and cheaper.

Benefit positioning: The company positions its product as leader in providing a certain benefit. For example Santro positioned itself as India’s simplest car to drive.

Use or application positioning: The company positions its products as best for certain use or application. For example, Kenstar positioned its products as unexpectedly cold.

User positioning: The company positions its product as best for some user group. For example, Parle-G positions the boy in the advertisement as rock star targeting the kids and boys.

BASES OF POSITIONING THE PRODUCT Competitor positioning: The company

claims its products as better than a named competitor.

Product category positioning: The company positions its product as leader in certain product category. For example, Bajaj CT 100 was positioned as leader in the entry segment bikes.

Quality or price positioning: The product is positioned as offering the best value. For example, the vegetable oil brand Dhara positions itself as ‘anokhi shuddata, anokha asar’. This means the company offers unique purity and unique effect. 18
