 Positioning is not what you do to a product
    -It is what you do to the mind of the customer
 When you listen Mercedes-Benz and Rolex watch
  The first word that comes to your mind is prestige
  which have been positioned in our minds in such a
  way that whenever we listen to it, we start thinking of
  prestige, it is called Positioning

    in choosing a brand.

   Determine perceptions of your brand
   What is the ideal brand for your market segments?

Guiding Principles.

 A brand's positioning should be updated every three
  to five years, or as often as needed to update the
  company's overall growth strategy.
 Positioning should drive all of an organization's brand
  strategies.
 Employees, not advertising agencies, bring a brand
  positioning to life.
 A strong brand positioning is customer driven and fits
  with customer perceptions of the brand.
Thank You
