Abstract
Positioning is how a brand appears in relation to other brands in the market.
It is influenced by the experiences customers have with a brand' s products,
services, advertising and promotional material, and representatives over time.
Using advanced statistical analysis this report will examine brand positioning
in the cell biology kits and reagents category.
We have defined this market as being primarily composed of consumable products
used to study the physiological properties of cells such as their structure
and organelles, their environment and interactions, their life cycle,
division, function and death. Examples of such products include apoptosis
assay kits, cytokine detection assays, signal transduction assays, and
transfection reagents.
From the perspective of North American life scientists who use cell biology
kits and reagents, this report will:
- Establish a brand' s major benefits and advantages from the customers'
perspective
- Explore a brand' s customer mindshare using metrics that approximate a
brand' s performance in the market: promotion, product, price, placement, and
service
- Assess brand personality as a critical determinant of value creation and
brand differentiation
- Reveal the demographics of a brand' s most bonded customers
- Ascertain customer perceptions of inter-brand differentiation
- Identify a brand' s main competitors
- Analyze brand equity to determine a brand' s customer appeal
