Where does your product fit into the market?
Bruttini Cookies Positioning Statement:
As an Italian gourmet treat, Bruttini cookies appeal to consumers who are interested in a new and different snack and have the disposable income to afford a more expensive sweet. They are all-natural, kosher, dairy-free and gluten-free, and so are equally at home in a corner deli, a natural foods store, or the local supermarket. Though not fat-free, they will appeal to most people who currently purchase meringue cookies.

• NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - At the height of his popularity, Michael Jordan
wasn't just the best basketball player on the planet -- he was the most
powerful marketing force, too.
Almost single-handedly, Jordan lifted the fortunes of several of the companies he
represented. In 1998, Fortune magazine estimated that, through his on-court and
off-court activities, Jordan had contributed $10 billion to the U.S. economy since
his 1984 NBA debut. And the magazine guessed that Nike was the beneficiary of
more than half -- $5.2 billion to be exact -- of this "Jordan Effect."
The use of Michael Jordan is a really important because it
shows how Nike (and indeed all companies these days)
moved from benefit focus to image focus. In today's
market advertisers are trying to sell the sociological
benefits not products.
