If we examine exactly what the term “positioning” is understood to mean, there are studies (Maggard, 1976) that sustain that its origins lie in an article by Al Ries and Jack Trout published in the magazine Industrial Marketing in 1969. This was followed by other articles published in the magazine Advertising Age in 1972 under the title “The age of positioning”, which served to extend and disseminate the term. According to these authors, positioning has its origins in product packaging (the concept was called product positioning). This literally meant the shape of the product, the size of the package and its price in comparison to the competition. At that time, these authors announced the start of a new age: “The age of positioning”, which recognised the importance of the product and the image of the company, but, above all, it underlined the need to achieve a position in the mind of the consumer. Positioning starts with a product, but it does not refer to the product; rather it refers to what can be done to the mind of the probable clients or persons that are to be influenced, that is to say, how to position the product in their minds.
