This document discusses effective brand positioning and defines point-of-difference (PODs) and point-of-parity (POPs). PODs are attributes that consumers associate with a brand that claim superiority or exclusiveness, while POPs are attributes that may be shared with other brands, such as basic features and benefits. The document provides examples of PODs like guaranteed performance and overnight delivery. It also gives examples of POPs that brands like cars and coffee shops have in common and stresses the importance of determining both PODs and POPs to build a strong brand.
