    thanks on the topic,
    positioning is a critical issue when it comes to product acceptance in the market. using STP formula(segmentation, targeting and positioning). at the introductory stage of a product, positioning matters a lot because once a product has been positioned, its very difficult for it to be re-positioned. a product brand is created through the positioning.
