Abstract

Market positioning, concept introduced by Jack Trout and Al Ries, initially focused on the idea of creating a unique position in the mind of the consumer through advertising and branding, and evolved over time to include a more comprehensive marketing strategy, including product design, packaging, pricing, and distribution strategies. Positioning in the medical optics industry requires a specific approach due to the highly specialized nature of the market and the importance of trust, precision and innovation. The field of medical optics is characterized by innovation and progress offering revolutionary solutions that redefine how medical conditions are diagnosed, treated and managed. The present work explores the marketing positioning in the case of a business that deals with the marketing of medical optical products, but also provides medical services in order to run the business (consultations, optometry exams, glasses repairs). To determine how this business positions itself against the competition, we can analyze the strengths for which the consumer chooses these services, but also the points that can be improved for better positioning on the market. Part II of the present work presents the theoretical-methodological framework of marketing positioning. This chapter aims to review the basic concepts of what marketing positioning means, such as market research, positioning factors, brand identity, key elements etc. Information related to the survey method and positioning scheme is also presented.
