6 Rules to position every product just right

At Hetarsh Creative Force, we don’t believe that one-size-fits-all branding works. Not everything deserves placement in a luxury box, and not everything should be designed like a grocery shelf package. Every product has a different placement, a different brand tonality, and a different brand story.
With 20+ years of experience as a leading marketing agency, we strongly believe that a mass-market snack and innovative dairy technology don’t just differ in price—they are built with different purposes, perceptions, and consumer psychology. Hence, they should not be fitted into the same branding template.
A faraali snack deserves the kind of positioning that shouts, “I’m authentic, pure, and tasty” while still being affordable. The brand position here should be trusted and rooted in tradition.
A premium tea brand needs the aura that says, “I am the best in quality tea, made specially for tea lovers.” The brand position here should be calm and exclusive.
An ice cream brand should be intriguing and lucrative, showing that “I am farm-fresh and made with 100% milk.” The brand position should be fun, fresh, and safe for children.
And these are just a few examples of how brand positioning changes everything.
So the real question is: how do you define the right position for a brand?
Let’s discuss 6 key factors to consider before defining market positioning. And no, it’s not just about labelling them as ‘innovative’, ‘premium’, or ‘budget-friendly’.

1. Audience

The audience is the specific group of people for whom your product is designed. While defining the audience, these factors should be kept in mind:

  • Age
  • Income
  • Lifestyle
  • Buying behaviour
  • Emotional intelligence

For example, is the audience:

  • A college student who wants affordability and fun?
  • A health-conscious mother looking for trustworthy and pure ingredients?

2. Price

Price is more than a number—it’s a message that sets expectations about the product’s quality, experience, and target segment. Whether it’s an everyday product or a luxury one, the positioning must justify the message conveyed by the price.

3. Category

Every product fits into at least one category: snacks, tech, luxury appeal, wellness, etc. With categories, it’s possible to identify competitors, understand consumer habits, and spot market gaps. This information helps determine whether your brand should blend in, stand out, or redefine the space.

4. Platforms

Platforms are the places where your audience can see, hear, and interact with your brand—like shelves, social media, websites, exhibitions, or advertisements.
Each of these platforms works on different algorithms and demands a tailored visual and verbal approach.

5. Emotional Feel

Positioning requires emotional space too.
People remember a brand that makes them feel something. The emotional hook of the brand should align with the benefits of the product—whether it’s comfort, nostalgia, joy, trust, or pride.

6. Brand Voice

Brand voice includes your:

  • Packaging design
  • Brand story
  • Brand identity

For example, a street-style snack should be energetic, desi, and fun—visually and verbally.

At Hetarsh Creative Force, we curate unique brand stories and positioning strategies based on facts, research, data, clarity, and context. We live by the belief that a brand is not just what you sell—it’s how you position it in the minds of the people who’ll buy it.
