Without knowing which product features are of specific interest to customers, it is hard for managers to develop an appropriate strategy.

Positioning Services in Competitive Markets is the second volume in the Winning in Service Markets Series by services marketing expert Jochen Wirtz. Scientifically grounded, accessible and practical, the Winning in Service Markets Series bridges the gap between cutting-edge academic research and industry practitioners, and features best practices and latest trends on services marketing and management from around the world.

There are four basic elements to writing a good positioning statement,13 and this is illustrated in the LinkedIn example:

•Target audience — the specific group(s) of people that the brand wants to sell to and serve (e.g., professionals as primary target customers, and employers and advertisers as secondary target audiences).

•Frame of reference — the category that the brand is competing in (e.g., in the social networking space).
