Why Positioning your product helps prospect and seller. 

Developing a positioning statement and reason for your business

Going into business for yourself leads to failure for most people because they solve no need in the marketplace other than to profit off it  Poor positioning reasons causing failure include:

  • It seems like a good business to be in.
  • They feel they can profit using discounts as a copycat new business as the key to steal away customers from others.
  • There's a need for such a business.
  • Competitors are not filling the need of the market.
  • You fail to fill a real need worth the market buying from you. Few business do. So the reason for their failure.

Positioning your product - a must to show the reason for your being.

What happens to cause decline after the Grand Opening.

The business closes its doors in 3 to 6 years after a new business publicity and ad campaign runs out.

At first, there is a flourish of business, then it dies off, no matter what, as people hear, its just another business - with no special benefit an other business like it offers.

People prefer to go back to the establish business rather than to a new business.

This elusive concept on Positioning

    Can evolve when understanding the significance of what customers tell you about their reasons for buying from you.

    That statement becomes your drum beat and most important message. Yell it in all your ads and printed statements.

Just how do you go about Positioning your Product, Service, or Business?

    I'll give you five steps, often shown on the subject, on the internet, on the subject; for example at: http://www.beaupre.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/5/22/Positioning-elevator-mission-and-vision-statements

    Of course, it could take a four year college course to understand the idea totally - and many take such course as a hopeful tool for their vocation.

This story is explains how difficult it is to develop a positioning statement.

    I go to a little bohemian store where they sell fresh San Francisco French baked bread, and Mediterranean style foods.

    I make a special 30 mile trip there to buy two loafs of 3 foot long bread, a pound of salami, olives - from one of the many open displays of such, they scoop a pint of for you, on one counter, and a pint of tubuli. And sometimes, great pastry.

    By being friendly with a customer ahead of me, and asking what she buys here, I was re-introduced to tuboli. A chopped fresh parsley, mint, with tomato, onion, and crushed hominy; blended into a salad, with lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper.

    A spoonful of tuboli in my mouth, with a slice of salty salami, mixed in the fray, and then a bite of fresh french bread - ripped off the loaf - and thrown in, somehow makes it all delicious - to my Greek/Ukrainian blood ties. That is as good as it gets, on the food delicacy side.

I grave this and repeat

    Each time I'm in Austin. I go there if for no other reason than to be revitalized by the meal just described.

    Anyhow, the friendly owner, and I chat sometimes. So I ask him hows things - business, he cries. The name of his little store is Phonetician Bakery - in Austin, Texas.

    He does not promote off any particular central statement, for his reason for being.

In 4 pages of google,

    Typing in, "phoenician bakery, austin texas." I find on page four, what should be his Marketing, positioning statement.

    Now, I'm saying this because I want to describe the purpose of the place. Their reason for being. This statement from google, pager four, says it best...

    "Phoenicia Bakery and Deli is a grocery store, bakery, and restaurant all in one, carrying foods from around the world with an emphasis on Mediterranean"

That is very close to what I think - and maybe their patrons, too.

    "With a strong hint of homemade," might be a sentence added to the message, somehow - as I feel, foods there, are not the cardboard boxed stuff you get at grocery stores. They are more like what I would expect homemade to be - were I to visit the Mediterranean.

Here are the steps to making a positioning statement

  1. For (these kinds of customers)
  2. Who (have the following problem)
  3. Our product is a (describe the product or solution)
  4. That provides (cite the breakthrough capability)
  5. Unlike (reference competition),
  6. Our product/solution (describe the key point of competitive differentiation)

Try your hand at filling-in the blanks.

    You will see how difficult it is. Maybe, you will come up with a paragraph that shows your worth - of your product, your service, your business, yourself - with a true value, from the customers point of view.

Like to tinker with cars? Get em to run great? This job does that in a profitable way, helping others do that in a better and more profitable way. Imagine the local auto repair shops running his business. They all follow the same routine, have the same tools, and estimate work from the same labor book. When they advertise, they all say the same thing. When the customer leaves after an engine service or repair, the customer and the mechanic wonder what will happen next with the engine and the other drive train components next. The customer and mechanic know the car's operation has a downward slide.  Why is that? And when the next internal issue arises, most car owners go shopping for estimates as an educational exercise to help determine who may offer the most sound repair advice and pricing. Not much loyalty with most car owners.  What if it could be halted? Even have the clock on its wear run backward? Wouldn't people go for it? Sure! That's what we offer. Here's our point!

You can profit off this unique tune-up additive discovery, that even helps old worn vehicles bounce back to a new-like operation that made struggling race teams top indy winners.  Nothing else like it! It has common vehicles produce a racy repair result that neither the mechanic nor the customer expected.  What's more impressive, our program not only pleases car owners, but it can also increase the profit per customer by $50 to $500 never before possible for the shop owner. That's where you can profit of it!

Our local distributors take a few months to start opening accounts, helping repair shop owners for the first time, learn how to grow their monthly income by thousands of dollars each month, and yours, with its distribution.  You can become their lifetime vendor hero as such. This rarely-seen income maker can earn $5000 to $10k a month average off 25, to 50 accounts -  could be the start of a whole new tinkering way to prosper, tuning vehicles to run up hill, not downhill.
