In marketing, positioning is everything.
If you ask people what positioning is, they will say: finding a niche for the product in the market.
However, according to Ries and Trout, inventors of the concept of positioning: “Positioning does not work on the product, but on the mind of the consumer.”
The consumers do not always have a detailed knowledge of what they are buying and are instead making a choice based on a general idea.
This is why a customer chooses a laundry detergent for its perfume rather than how well it washes, a wine for its label rather than its taste, a car for its image rather than its technical characteristics.
