Brand StrategyBrand Positioning
What is brand positioning?
Brand positioning is the process of carving out a distinct spot for your brand in the marketplace and in the minds of consumers, making sure they see your brand as different and more desirable than the competition… It describes the process of differentiating your brand by linking specific qualities, values, and attributes directly with your brand identity.
How does your brand stand out, rise above, and create a lasting business? The answer is brand positioning.
Brand positioning sets your business apart from competitors by creating a unique impression in your customers’ minds. However, it’s not just about being different—it’s about being remembered, preferred, and chosen. Your goal is to carve out a distinct place in the market and lay the groundwork for lasting relationships and brand loyalty.
Creating a built-to-last brand is easier said than done, though. It requires know-how, market research, planning, investment, and commitment. Brand positioning involves deeply understanding your market, competitors, and (most importantly) your audience.
Effective brand positioning elevates your brand from just another choice to the one-and-only preferred choice, whether through differentiation, relevance, credibility, or uniqueness.
Focus on your customers
Building a strong connection with your audience also means listening to them closely. Reach out through surveys and social media to get their honest opinions about your brand. Take what you learn to fine-tune your brand’s promise, making sure it hits home with your customers and stands out in their eyes as something they can trust and get behind.
Why is brand positioning important?
Often, brand positioning gets pushed solely into the realm of marketing. However, its purpose, reach, and viability extend beyond just marketing—it’s the why behind your entire business.
You should be thinking about brand positioning before you even launch your product or service. It should be in your original plans and business conceptions when you ideate on what’s going to make us different from all the other competitors—and how will our customers recognize and value it?
Here’s why brand positioning is so important to your startup:
Differentiation: Effective brand positioning helps your brand be noticed and remembered in a sea of competitors.
Clear value: It clarifies your brand’s value proposition and competitive advantage, making it easier for consumers to understand why they should choose your brand over others.
Connection: Strong brand positioning establishes an emotional connection with your audience to build long-term loyalty.
Marketing strategy: Knowing your brand’s position helps guide your marketing brand strategy to ensure all messaging, campaigns, and content align consistently.
Perception: It influences how your target audience perceives your brand and directly impacts their purchasing decisions.
Pricing: A well-positioned brand can often command higher prices because customers perceive extra value in the brand promise and experience.
Expansion: A clear brand position makes introducing new products or entering new markets easier while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.
