Product positioning maps (also referred to as perceptual maps) are a graphical representation of how consumers perceive a brand, product, or service relative to the competition. They are typically created by plotting the attributes or features of a brand, product, or service on two axes. In the beverage industry, product positioning maps can be used to compare price and quality in order to determine the best positioning strategy for a product. This blog post will discuss the factors influencing product positioning maps in the beverage industry, the benefits of using product positioning maps, and strategies for utilizing product positioning maps.


A. Definition of product positioning map


A product positioning map is a graphical representation of how consumers perceive a brand, product, or service relative to the competition. It is typically created by plotting the attributes or features of a brand, product, or service on two axes. The positioning map helps marketers determine the best positioning strategy for their brand, product, or service. By comparing how a brand, product, or service is viewed in comparison to the competition, marketers can identify areas where they can differentiate their offering to better appeal to their target audience.


 B. Overview of beverage industry in Pakistan


The beverage industry in Pakistan includes soft drinks, juices, energy drinks, teas, and bottled water. The industry is highly competitive, with a number of large multinational companies competing for market share. In addition, there are numerous smaller local brands offering their own products. The industry is seeing strong growth, as consumer demand for beverages is rising. 


Price and quality are two of the most important factors that influence product positioning maps in the beverage industry. Consumers are often willing to pay more for higher quality products, so products that are seen as higher quality tend to command a higher price. On the other hand, products that are seen as lower quality tend to be priced lower. By analyzing how products are perceived in terms of price and quality, marketers can determine how to best position their product. 


Product positioning maps can provide a number of benefits to marketers in the beverage industry. They can help marketers gain a better understanding of consumer needs and what drives consumer preferences. By understanding consumer needs, marketers can create products that are tailored to meet those needs. Additionally, product positioning maps can help increase visibility of product offerings, as they can help marketers identify products that are not being adequately represented in the market.


II. Factors Influencing Product Positioning Map

A. Price – Price is an important factor when it comes to product positioning. Consumers often associate higher prices with higher quality, so higher-priced products tend to be perceived as being of higher quality. On the other hand, lower-priced products are often seen as lower quality.


B. Quality – Quality is another important factor when it comes to product positioning. Consumers are willing to pay more for higher quality products, so products that are seen as higher quality tend to command a higher price. On the other hand, products that are seen as lower quality tend to be priced lower.


C. Brand Perception – Brand perception is also an important factor in product positioning. Consumers are more likely to purchase products that they perceive as being of higher quality, so marketers must ensure that their brand is perceived as being of high quality.


D. Consumer Preferences – Consumer preferences are also an important factor in product positioning. Different consumers have different preferences and needs, so marketers must ensure that their product is tailored to meet those needs. By understanding consumer preferences, marketers can create products that are more likely to be successful. 


III. Benefits of Product Positioning Map


A. Improved awareness of consumer needs – Product positioning maps can help marketers gain a better understanding of consumer needs and what drives consumer preferences. This can help marketers create products that are more likely to be successful.


B. Increased visibility of product offerings – Product positioning maps can also help increase visibility of product offerings, as they can help marketers identify products that are not being adequately represented in the market.


C. Improved product positioning and differentiation – Product positioning maps can also help marketers differentiate their product from the competition. By understanding how their product is perceived relative to the competition, marketers can position their product in a way that sets it apart from the competition.


IV. How to Create a Product Positioning Map


A. Gather market data – The first step in creating a product positioning map is to gather market data. Marketers should gather data on consumer preferences, pricing, and quality, as well as data on the competition. This data can then be used to create a positioning map.


B. Create a positioning map – Once the data has been gathered, it can be used to create a positioning map. This map should include all relevant products and their associated attributes.


C. Analyze positioning map – Once the positioning map has been created, it should be analyzed to determine


V. Strategies for Utilizing Product Positioning Map 

A. Identify target audience – The first step in utilizing a product positioning map is to identify the target audience. This can be done by analyzing the positioning map and determining which products are most appealing to the target audience.


B. Develop pricing and promotional strategies – Once the target audience has been identified, marketers can develop pricing and promotional strategies that are tailored to the target audience. This can help ensure that the product is priced and promoted in a way that appeals to the target audience.


C. Develop product packaging and messaging – Product packaging and messaging should also be tailored to the target audience. By understanding the target audience’s needs and preferences, marketers can create product packaging and messaging that resonates with the target audience.

Different types of timber support

Image
Different types of timber supports  Timber props  Timber placed normally between the roof and floor of roadways, etc. in coal mines is called timber prop. Timber prop in metal mines is sometimes called stull. A timber prop when erected in a mine to support the roof should yield slightly under the roof weight. The timber prop is strongest when the load acts parallel to its length; a prop as such is almost unyielding but a certain yield is obtained by; a) tapering it at the foot or top, or b) and providing a lid at the top as a compressible cushion between the roof and the end of the prop. In flat seams the prop is erected vertical, and in inclined seams, axis of the prop should be normal to the dip of the seam. The prop then offers the maximum resistance to the roof. A prop which is so set that its axis is between the vertical and the normal to the seam is known as and underset prop. Erection of underset props is not common as it is not possible for the timberman to judge wh

Timber support for different places in mine

Image
Timber support in coal mine Side Support:  Wooden laggings are placed tight between vertical props and pillar where the sides are weak and need support. Sometimes the timber set of prop and bar has to resist pressure from sides which tend to crush into the roadways. Notching is useful in such cases. The props should be set at an angle of 14° to 20° off the vertical and the feet well sunk into the floor. An alternative method of resisting side pressure is to sink the props well into the floor and to reinforce the timber-set by an additional bar or stretcher (dotted bar in fig), which may be nailed to the props. As this reduces effective height of roadway, its use may not be advisable in roadways of less than 2 m height, used by basket loaders. Reinforced Timber set or chockmate Notched Prop Support of a Roadway:  Where the roof of a roadway is bad over some distance bars resting in holes of coal pillars and tightened against the roof by wooden laggings may be erected

Option –  the right to buy or sell a futures contract at a particular price. The right to buy a futures contract is called a Call Option. The right to sell a futures contract is called a Put Option. The price chosen for which to buy or sell is called the Strike Price. The price paid for the right is called the Option Premium. Example of Call option order: Buy one contract November wheat call - €250 strike at €15 premium. Call Option  A contract which gives the purchaser the right, though not the obligation, to purchase the underlying security at a specific price within a specific time frame Suppose the Infosys is currently trading at INR 900. A trader thinks that the current price of Infosys is undervalued and expected to increase in the future. In this case, he buys the call option of Infosys and pays a premium to the call seller. Suppose the price of Infosys increases to INR 1000 at expiry. Then the buyer will exercise the option since he has the right to exercise. In this c

Unconformity-Related Uranium Deposit

Image
Unconformity-Related Uranium Deposits definition: Unconformity [ŭn′kən-fôr′mĭ-tē] A surface between successive strata representing a missing interval in the geologic record of time, produced either by an interruption in deposition or by the erosion of depositionally continuous strata followed by renewed deposition. An unconformity is a type of discontinuity.  or: An unconformity is time gap in the rock record between two rock units where the lower unit may be deformed, brecciated or altered and the overlying units are less deformed. Uranium deposits can occur in the underlying or overlying units. In the underlying units, there may be a weathering zone, fault zone or some other feature that increases the rocks porosity and permeability. In the overlying units, it may be the sandstones or some other features that allows the concentration of uranium.  Uranium unconformity deposits are generally associated with structures in sedimentary rocks that reflect the erosion surface

Sandstone uranium deposits

Image
 Sandstone uranium deposits Uranium deposits hosted in Sandstone, occur in medium to coarse-grained sandstones deposited in a continental fluvial or marginal marine sedimentary environment. Impermeable shale/mudstone units are interbedded in the sedimentary sequence and often occur immediately above and below the mineralized sandstone. Uranium precipitated under reducing conditions caused by a variety of reducing agents within the sandstone including: carbonaceous material (detrital plant debris, amorphous humate, marine algae), sulphides (pyrite, H2S), hydrocarbons (petroleum), and interbedded basic volcanics with abundant ferro-magnesian minerals (eg chlorite). There are five main sub-types of sandstone deposits, often mixed: Basal channel deposits – wide channels filled with permeable sediments. Examples are Dalur and Khiagda (Russia), and Beverley and Honeymoon (South Australia). Tabular deposits – irregular, elongate lenticular bodies parallel to the depositional trend,

Roof support in underground coal mine

Image
Roof support in underground coal mines Roof support in underground mines is used: To prevent major collapses of the mine roof; To protect miners from small rock falls that can occur from the immediate roof skin; To control deformations so that mine openings remain serviceable for both access and escape, as well as for ventilation of the mine workings Ensure continuity of ore production to avoid shortage in profit.  Finally, keeping expensive machines in the underground mines safe (e.g. machines used in long wall mining. When do we need to support mines? If there are weak or unconsolidated parts of rocks are present in the roof and walls of mines.  If there some geologic structures (e.g. shear zone) that weaken rocks.  If there are voids and spaces in the rocks. If there are some clay beds that can shrink and expand due to its swelling property, and hence sliding of rocks in presence of water can be expected. If there are underground water that helps in chemical wea
