Does your station REALLY have a position?

I feel almost silly going so far back to the marketing basics that I’m actually writing a post on positioning, but this graphic says so much in so few words, that I wanted to share it with you.

So complete this sentence for your station.

Your station is the only [blank] that [offers blank benefit].

If you can’t complete the sentence, you don’t have a position.

More here.

And remember, there’s a VAST difference between “having a positioning statement” and having a position.

    Don’t feel silly Mark … I share this knowledge nugget with businesses all the time. Simple. Poignant. Brilliant. Marty Neumeier rocks.
