From the lesson Positioning Statements

NameDate

Work through each step on paper or on screen. Use a real business, a project of your own or a friend’s idea. Keep this page for your portfolio.

1Fill in a positioning template.

2Test it against competitors.

3Share it with your team.

Worked example to compare with: From a draft to a sharper statement

  • Draft: "We are a bike shop that cares about customers."
  • Problem: it does not say who it is for or what makes the shop different.
  • Revised: "For city commuters who cannot be without their bike, Quick Spokes is the repair shop that guarantees same-day service because we keep the most common parts in stock."
  • Check: could the shop use it to decide whether to offer a weekend mobile repair service? Yes, so it is useful.
