Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?”
Pooh: “You don’t spell it… you feel it.”

Brand positioning is the space that your company occupies in the minds of your customers and whether what you are offering will meet their needs. To gain a competitive advantage, do they feel that you can do something to meet these needs that no one else can?
Getting your brand positioning right relies on market analysis, research and insights, but also knowledge of how your company works internally. Your people are the most valuable touch point for your brand in one way or another and making sure everyone involved in your company lives and breathes your brand is a key component.
Remember also that your customers are at the heart of your brand positioning and not you. Instead of talking about yourself and your services, let your customers know how you can solve their problems; give them the feeling that you are the one to help them over anyone else.
