pozicionimi

Pozicionimi is a strategic concept used in marketing and branding to describe how a product, brand, or organization is perceived relative to competitors by a defined audience. It encompasses the intended place in the market and in customers’ minds, influenced by product attributes, price, distribution, messaging, and overall experience. In Albanian usage, pozicionimi denotes the deliberate placement of a brand or product in the market.

The positioning process typically starts with identifying a target audience and its needs, followed by competitive analysis to understand existing perceptions and gaps. It continues with deciding the desired mental position and the unique value proposition, then creating a positioning statement that succinctly expresses the intended differentiation. The chosen position must be reflected across the marketing mix, including product design, pricing, promotion, and distribution, as well as customer service and experience. Performance is measured through indicators such as market share, brand equity, and perception research.

Tools commonly used in pozicionimi include perceptual maps, which plot brands on dimensions important to customers, and value proposition canvases that clarify the benefits offered. Common strategies include price-based positioning (low-cost leader), quality-based positioning (premium), use-case or application positioning (targeting a specific scenario), and attribute-based positioning (focusing on a defining feature).

Limitations include market changes, new entrants, or over-claiming that can erode credibility. Periodic reviews help ensure the position remains relevant and coherent across all channels. See also branding, brand positioning, perceptual mapping, and value proposition.
