Three Core Elements of Business Positioning: Audience, Problem, Solution

For: Emphasizing individual empowerment, achievement, or self-improvement over collective well-being in Western markets.

Overview

This article outlines the three core elements of commercial positioning: first, clearly identifying the target audience and their anxieties or pain points (e.g., middle-aged entrepreneurs, stay-at-home mothers); second, deeply analyzing the specific problems and urgent needs these groups face (e.g., overseas ad placement, children's English learning, elder health); and finally, providing targeted, effective solutions to address these pain points. This three-pronged approach helps establish a clear business position.

  2. 2Identify their core problems: What specific issues, pain points, and urgent bottlenecks do they face?
