Positioning: The Secret Weapon That Makes Products Irresistible
Have you ever wondered why some products effortlessly capture market attention while others-even superior ones-struggle? Consider this: Joshua Bell, one of America's finest classical violinists who sells out $300-seat concerts, played incognito in a Washington DC subway station. Only 7 of 1,070 passersby stopped to listen, netting him a mere $32.17. This wasn't a failure of talent but of positioning. Without the concert hall context, his extraordinary skill went unrecognized-just as your brilliant product might when positioned poorly. Positioning isn't just marketing fluff-it's the fundamental context that determines whether customers "get it, buy it, love it." Weak positioning undermines everything in marketing and sales, like trying to make an omelet with rotten eggs. Strong positioning, however, feels like cheating-suddenly everything becomes easier, with the wind always at your back. Most products are exceptional only when understood within their best frame of reference. Without deliberate positioning, customers create their own context-often in ways that hide your product's true strengths or place it in unfavorable comparisons.
