MKTG320 Unit 3 SWOT Analysis
Brand positioning is an important process in the overall marketing strategy that influences advertising and public relations. By understanding how to position the brand based on customer preferences, targeted messages (such as advertising and other forms of communication) appeal to the segmented customer groups.

Once the brand is positioned in the marketplace, the next step is to target customers with specific marketing messages, personalized, and appealing to current loyal customers and new, prospective customers. This is why demographic and psychographic variables are important when segmenting customer groups and developing marketing and public relations messages.

How do you do this? It starts with customer and competitor research.
