The J.Peterman Story • http://www.jpeterman.com
The J.Peterman Story • J.Peterman • A classic example of successfully combining clever differentiation with powerful positioning. • J.Peterman’s statement of philosophy: • People want things that are hard to find. • Things that have romance (羅曼蒂克), but a factual (有事實根據的) romance, about them. • Clearly, people want things that make their lives the way they with they were.
The J.Peterman Story • Every clothing and accessory (配件) item offered comes: • with a narrative (故事) setting the stage in the customer’s mind for romantic travel.
Product Example of J.Peterman I always wanted to cross the Sahara (撒哈拉沙漠), and the Gobi (戈壁), by foot. But I didn’t. I did not swim the Hellespont (海峽名). Didn’t ascend Mont Blanc (白朗峰). Didn‘t read all the books I had to read. Didn’t spend even one night at Shepheard‘s Hotel in Cairo (開羅). Not one. Shepheard‘s burned (燒毀) to the ground before I could afford to check in. That night, it became my code word for everything unobtained, undone. In case there are a few things in your life you wanted but didn‘t get, I offer as consolation(慰藉). The Impossibly-Perfect-Night-at-Shepheard's-Hotel-in-Cairo Bath robe(長袍). Shepheard‘s Hotel Robe (No. 1148), for men and women. Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
4. Positioning • The process of creating a desired image for a company and its products in the minds of a chosen user segment. • Concerns brands, the company itself, or individual products. • The concept is simple: To be successful, a company must: • Differentiate itself and its products from all other competitors.
4.1 Bases for Positioning • Firms can position on the basis of: • Product or service attributes (“the smallest cell phone”), • High-tech image (“our cell phones handle e-mail”), • Benefits (“fits in your pocket”), • User categories (“best cell phone for college students”), • Comparison with competitors (“our phone is less expensive than the Nokia”), • Take an integrator position (“a full range of electronic products and services”).

4.2 Repositioning on the Web • Is the process of creating a new or modified brand, company, or product position. • Positioning alone won't make a product successful. A company must be flexible enough to react. • Is a long-term challenge when attempting to change the way customers perceive their brands. • Example: Amazon.com • Originally Amazon was positioned as “the world’s largest bookstore”. • Today it promises the “Earth’s biggest selection” of a variety of products from music to electronics and more.
