In today’s competitive landscape, one of the biggest challenges for DTC brands is to differentiate their company and stand out from the crowd. With so many businesses offering similar products or services, it can feel like you’re just another commodity or a “me too” player in your market.
To overcome this challenge, it is essential for companies to position themselves in a way that sets them apart from their competitors. This requires going beyond simply using generic marketing tactics and slogans, and instead relying on more strategic positioning strategies, such as a positioning story.
