Product Positioning
Product positioning is a marketing technique intended to present products in the best possible light to different target audiences. The positioning of the product consists of creating a message likely to reach a particular group or market segment. Marketers attempt to create a distinct impression in the customer’s mind regarding particular product attributes, quality and advantages over a competing brand. Changes to product positioning do not refer to physical changes or alterations to the product, but rather changes to how the product is perceived by target customers.
