Strategy & Positioning
Visual Awakening
Visual Awakening helps you understand your market and your position within it. It also helps you to visualize alternative options you have within your market.
- Identify your factors of competition (What makes you stand out? What are your competitors doing better than you?)
- Weight the factors (Which ones mean the most to the consumer? To your bottom line?)
- Compare your offerings with the competition by drawing a Strategy Canvas.
Visual Exploration
Ask yourself the following:
- Where do my products live within the market?
- What factors can be eliminated or changed about my offering to make it better or more appealing? To make it cost less to create?
