Targeting and positioning

Hey again. Today I will talk about targeting and positioning. Let's start.


No brand positioning should ever be done without doing some research first. The reason is simple: it is likely that where and how you think your brand should be positioned is quite different from what consumers want, expect, and will accept. I created a short questionnaire with which I can measure the consumer perceptions of my product.

10.  Compare to previous products, Sony Corporation changed their phones, some basic characteristics. Do you like these changes? And if you like, what actually do you like?

11.  Do you have any complaints about Sony phone?
Yes (what you don’t like)
No


After I created this short questionnaire I executed three face to face interviews with three my friends. One of them used Sony phone, but now uses IPhone, second one uses old model of Sony phone and the third one uses new Sony model. All three friends said that they are very satisfied with Sony phone, because Sony phone fulfills their needs. Also when I asked about overall quality of Sony phone, they gave a grade 6-8, because last Sony models are very strong, with good characteristics. Comparing to other phone companies, Sony phone is long-term using phone. Besides, cameras and sound are much better, and design is very interesting and differs from the other phone companies.
What about intending to use this phone for a long time. Those, who has Sony now, said that they would use it for a long time and the next phone would be Sony. One of friends said that if there wouldn’t be iPhone he would use Sony company phone, because Sony is good quality phone which complies to promised quality.
The next question was answered almost equally. The important qualities for them are cameras. It allows to take good quality pictures. Sound, display, ability to use phone for a long time and also design. About the price there were two opinions. The first was that price could be a bit lower. The second opinion was that Sony phones prices fluctuate according to the phone model what allows to buy Sony phone from different classes.
Also for question 10, there were two main opinions. First was that there are some new characteristics what are disliked, but second opinion was that Sony changes characteristics to the good side; camera, sound, design, processor become better. Eventually there aren’t a lot of complaints. I received only one complaints from person who has old Sony model. And complaint was “The only complaint - Sony should allow users of older phone models to download upgrades of Android system, otherwise the phone becomes "slow"”. But in spite of some disadvantages, all of them would recommend Sony phone for their friends and family.
And according to these answers positioning map for my products looks like that:

That's all for today:)) See you next week
