The customer and or the spectrum of your customer base has to be at the centre of all you do and you have to be ready to interact with them at a time, place and in a way that they want. Time and again you see companies going to market with their own systems and ways of working at the centre of their activations. Nothing says "we don't care about you" more than Company centric view verses a Consumer centric view.

In todays World where we are all looking at what and where we spend our hard earned money "value" is more important than ever. We must also be clear about what "value" means, its not discount, its the belief some one has in your Brand and the "value" your products will bring to their lives. Your products should be filling a need, real or perceived, through the solution, features or benefits. My life will some how be enhanced by spending my hard earned money on this, I believe I am getting value for money.

The next crucial step in positioning your retail brand is to define your value proposition. ?? This is the unique benefit your brand offers to your target market, answering: why should customers choose your brand over others? ?? Based on my five years of experience in Marketing, Martech, and IT, your value proposition should be clear, concise, and compelling. ?? It must highlight your brand's strengths, features, benefits, and solutions while addressing your target market's pain points, goals, and emotions. ?? By effectively communicating this unique value, you can stand out in a competitive marketplace and attract your ideal audience. ??

A melhor forma é a partir da cria??o de uma proposta de valor robusta. é importante deixar claro como o seu produto/marca pode contribuir na vida e no dia a dia dos consumidores e shoppers. Assim, você foge da guerra de pre?os existente no mercado que n?o gera valor nem para a indústria, nem para o varejo. Para comunicar a proposta no PDV é necessário um conjunto de estratégias e ferramentas como a??es interessantes de ativa??o/intera??o com a marca, MPDVs atrativos, visibilidade extra, campanhas, packs, demonstra??es etc.

I think a brand should know it's USP ,which they some times ignore . I found that the customer doesn't know what exactly he/she wants. This is the right time to guide them with a good quality product ,with good pricing and uniqueness in design

A sua proposta de valor precisa ir além do pre?o. Nenhuma marca consegue criar e fidelizar um público relevante tendo como principal variável somente o pre?o. Proposta de valor é o que te torna único, o que diferencia a sua entrega e faz a diferen?a na vida do seu cliente. Precisa ser verdadeira e obvia ao cliente. Costumo dizer que quando expressa em texto o cliente deve ler a proposta de valor e n?o se surpreender, por que já é uma realidade.

The third step in positioning your retail brand is to choose your positioning strategy. ??? This defines how you want your brand to be perceived by your target market, reflecting its personality, tone, and style. ?? With my five years in Marketing, Martech, and IT, I've seen various strategies, such as functional, emotional, symbolic, or experiential. ?? You can also focus on attributes, benefits, values, or occasions. ?? The key is to align your strategy with your value proposition, target market, and competitive advantage. ?? This ensures a strong, memorable brand presence that stands out. ??

Understanding your competitive landscape is key. It’s not just about knowing your direct competitors but also recognising other sectors that are vying for your customers' share of wallet. Keep your finger on the pulse of your competition, analysing their product offerings, services, pricing, marketing, and customer experiences. Regular benchmarking is important. It will reveal both glaring and subtle gaps in your proposition, helping you stay ahead. The real power of brand positioning lies in identifying what makes your brand unique compared to the competition. By continually assessing and pivoting in response to changing market conditions, you can ensure that your brand not only stands out but also resonates with your target audience.

Consistently convey your brand's unique value through all marketing channels. Ensure your messaging aligns with your positioning strategy.
