Explain product positioning
The consumers’ perception impacts image.
Marketers must understand the consumer’s attitudes and needs affecting their perceptions of the product.
Consumer perceptions are based on experiences. Products should be positioned based on image.
Ex. Mountain Dew sponsors “extreme” sports.
To increase market share, companies may choose to utilize a multi-positioning strategy.

Multi-position strategy
To increase market share, companies may choose to utilize a multi-positioning strategy. Multi-positioning is positioning the same product differently to a variety of markets. For example: Dell positions computers differently to mature markets than to tween markets.
Mature markets are positioned through the benefits of sending/receiving email and photos from family members.
Tween markets are positioned through gaming and instant messaging.

this stage stress benefits of a product over its competitor’s products.
Example: A company may say its brand is a higher quality product than the product its competitors sell.

repositioning a product. Choosing a different target market to
position the product. When the existing target market gets tired of a product, choosing a new group of people to market the product will make the product seem new to them.

be to greatly reduce marketing support or drop a product due to poor sales and lack of consumer interest. At some point, consumers do not want a product anymore, therefore it is time to drop the product and find something new.
