trategic Positioning is defined as doing different activities than your competitors or doing the same activities differently. This is the way your company becomes a superior performer in the industry. Many people describe their positioning based on their customer base. For example, Burger King focuses on young adult males as their target customer. There strategy and positioning is directed to satisfy this sector of the market. Wendy's on the other hand has a different positioning. They base their positioning to satisfy the older health conscious individuals. They both differ from our strategy. When you simplify things down it turns out there are only two basic types of positioning; low cost or differentiation. This is how you choose to serve your customer base, or how your customer base guides you to operate. You choose your customer base to be either broad or narrow scope. The company needs to select one or the other in both categories or they will achieve below average results and be mediocre. We have selected one and are doing it well
