What is Product Positioning?

Product positioning is a form of marketing that presents the benefits of your product to a particular target audience. Through market research and focus groups, marketers can determine which audience to target based on favorable responses to the product. Research can also determine which product benefits are the most appealing to them. Knowing this information helps streamline marketing efforts and create effective marketing messages that drive more leads and sales. It also helps differentiate the product or service from the competition in the marketplace.
