Bases for Positioning

Firms can position on the basis of:


Product or service attributes (the smallest cell phone), High-tech image (our cell phones handle e-mail), Benefits (fits in your pocket), User categories (best cell phone for college students), Comparison with competitors (our phone is less expensive than the Nokia), Take an integrator position (a full range of electronic products and services).
