Points-of-Parity & Points-of-Difference • Points-of-difference (PODs) are attributes or benefits that consumers strongly associate with a brand, positively evaluate, and believe that they could not find to the same extent with a competitive brand. • Points-of-parity associations(POPs), on the other hand, are not necessarily unique to the brand but may in fact be shared with other brands.

25. Choosing POPs & PODs • Desirability criteria (consumer perspective) • Personally relevant (is it important to the customer?) • Distinctive and superior (is it better than existing options?) • Believable and credible (Does it seem possible?) • Deliverability criteria (firm perspective) • Feasible (Can we do it?) • Profitable (Will I make business?) • Pre-emptive, defensible, and difficult to attack (Is it competitive?)

26. Straddle Positions The Straddle Positioning is one of the positioning strategy adopted by the marketers to position their product in two categories simultaneously. The dual positioning of Dominos, product attributes as well as desirable benefits. The product attributes (POP) means providing the fresh pizza and the desirable benefit (POD) are the home delivery that it offers.

27. Straddle Positions E.g. Subway Sandwiches positioned as offering healthy , good tasting sandwiches . This positioning allows the brand to create a POP on taste and a POD on health with respect to quick serve restaurants such as Mcdonald’s and , at the same time , a POP on health and a POD on taste with respect to health food restaurants . Straddle positioning allows brands to expand their market coverage and potential customer base .
