Positioning
Positioning is about "owning" one big thing in your marketplace or marketspace. A credible story that can be summed up in one or two key words.

Consider Volvo owning “safety” in the automotive market or Nike owning “performance” in sporting gear and the picture grows clearer.

Understand Your Brand And Positioning
Branding and positioning are quite simply YOUR STORY. It is very simple and therefore very hard. Ask yourself some of these questions:

• What do I want to stand for?
• What is my character?
• What is my promise and how do I back it up?
• Why would customers want to buy from me?
• Why does what I do matter?

Answer these questions and you will begin to write your story; the story that becomes your brand and your position and your business life.
