Hermawan Kertajaya, in his book Winning the competition by positioning triangular-differentiation-brand mentions four criteria to determine positioning based on four criteria: customer, company, competitors, and change with the following description:<\/p>\n
1 Customer<\/strong> Previously there was no similar products. Through hard work and the belief that the products are offered in accordance with the wishes and needs of the consumers of these products can eventually penetrate the market and has a certain position in the minds of consumers<\/p>\n 2. Company<\/strong> Customers will ultimately argue that the company has broken promises and lies. If this is the case then Destroyed company’s credibility in the eyes of the customer. For that in formulating its market position the company to be really very careful consideration. For example, Honda claimed as the king duck. This expression will always be adhered to, so that consumer confidence will be maintained<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nBased on the analysis of customers (customer) positioning should be perceived positively by the customers and the reason for their purchase. This will happen when positioning describing value or value provided to customers and the value it truly is an asset for them. Because of the superior value positioning describe, then the positioning will be an important determinant for customers when deciding to buy a product Vegeta who declared himself as a fibrous drink.<\/p>\n
\nBased on the analysis on the capabilities and strength of the company’s internal (company), the positioning should reflect the strength and competitive advantage of the company. In this case should not happen that the company formulate positioning but was not able to perform and deliver on its promise. This is certainly very dangerous because it could overload the promise.<\/p>\n
