Competitive Positioning Strategy
Competitive Positioning Strategy – The most critical aspect of your brand is answering the questions: What sets your product, service, and company apart from your competitors? What value do you provide and how is it different from the alternatives?
Most businesses can not answer these questions honestly or with conviction. At SpellBrand, we help clients define how they “differentiate” their offering and create value for their market segment. It is about carving out a place in the competitive landscape and having a laser-like focus to deliver on the brand promises that are made.
OUR COMPETITIVE POSITIONING STRATEGY INCLUDES:
Market profile: size, competitors, stage of growth
Customer segments: groups of prospects with similar wants & needs
Competitive analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the landscape
Value proposition: the type of value you’ll deliver to the market
Positioning strategy: how you’ll position your offering to focus on opportunities in the market
The typical cost of a positioning strategy exercise starts from $2,995 / £2,250.
To create a robust positioning strategy that will help your brand differentiate itself in the marketplace, we use the following methods and techniques:
