Positioning Decision Matrix

Good Positioning
  • Narrows to one specific customer with one specific problem
  • Makes a single, bold claim you can defend
  • Names a category you can own (not "quality products")
  • Gives a reason to believe — proof, not promises
  • Creates a frame where your competition is irrelevant
Bad Positioning
  • "We're for everyone" — you're for no one
  • Lists 5 benefits instead of 1 sharp one
  • Uses vague adjectives: "premium," "innovative," "best-in-class"
  • Describes what you do, not why it matters
  • Sounds like every other brand in your category
