A Twist on Positioning: Sculpting Perceptions
Are you an online entrepreneur still hunting for that elusive formula to make your product a darling of the masses? Well, your search ends here! It’s not about what you do to a product but what you do to the consumer’s mind. Remember how Uber positioned itself not as a taxi service but as a tech company offering a “private driver for everyone”? Now, that’s intelligent positioning!
Simplicity: Your Secret Weapon
Simplicity isn’t just about your brand message, website design, and user experience. If Picasso were an online entrepreneur, he’d say, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Being First: Conquer the Mind
Being first grants you the ‘top of mind’ position. Even though Tesla wasn’t technically the first electric car, they were the first to make it cool and desirable, cementing their position in our minds.
Not the First? No Problem
If you’re not the first, all’s not lost. You can still succeed by positioning yourself against the leader. Remember the age-old “Pepsi Challenge”? By placing itself against Coca-Cola, Pepsi managed to carve out its own space in the cola market.
Positioning: A Game of Constant Adaptation
As eCommerce landscapes shift, your positioning should evolve too. Remember Netflix? They started as a DVD rental service but foresaw the rise of streaming and repositioned themselves accordingly. Now they are the kings of the streaming world.
Wrapping Up: The Art of Positioning
Remember, positioning is all about the mind of your customer. It’s your secret weapon to break through the clutter and make your eCommerce product stand out.
