How Targeting Works • Targeting is done by using profile characteristics of segments to draw boundaries around a particular group of customer or prospects that are projected to respond well to a brand and its marketing communication. • Then, marketers estimate the group’s size. • The next step is to prioritize the segments. • A company then develops message strategies and media plans for select segments.
Finally, Positioning! • It’s not what you do to the product, but what you do to the mind! • How do you want consumer to perceive your product? • i.e. It’s not delivery, its Dijorno…. • Get the feeling….. • Remember….its all PERCEPTIONS!
Positioning Strategy • 1. Who’s the target market? Research! • 2. Choice criteria – what product attributes are important to target? • 3. Identify competitors – strengths vs. weaknesses • 4. Determine competitors’ position – based on attributes • Perceptual map • 5. Determine unique offering • How is our brand different from competition? • 6. Select a position -- Must consider laws of positioning
Positioning Laws • 1. Law of leadership • It’s better to be first than it is to be better • 2. Law of category • If you can’t be first, set up a new category. • People are interested in what’s new, not what’s better. • 3. Law of the mind • It’s better to be first in mind than first in marketplace. • Modified law of leadership – have an easy name! • 4. Law of perception • Marketing is not a battle of products, it’s a battle of perceptions.
Positioning laws • 5. Law of focus • The most powerful concept in marketing is owning a word in the prospects mind. • Must be simple and benefit oriented. • 6. Law of exclusivity • Two companies cannot own the same word in a prospect’s mind. • Burger king cannot own “fastfood” • 7. Law of the ladder • The strategy to use depends on which rung you occupy on the ladder. • Avis, we try harder.
Laws cont’d • 8. Law of Duality – • In the long run, it’s a 2 horse race. • Coke vs. pepsi • Listerine vs. scope • 9. Law of the opposite • Determine second place based directly on leader • Burger King – broiled, not fried. • 10. Law of division – a category will ultimately divide • Vans vs. minivans vs. SUV vs. stationwagons
