Branding vs. PositioningBranding vs. Positioning
• “Branding is about the process of building a brand. Positioning is about putting that brand in the mind” (Trout, 2005)
– Coke is the #1 recognized brand. Therefore, positioning is every effort used to get people to think “Coke” when choosing a cola beverage. “The real thing”
![Page 11: Utah State University Dan Peterson & Jenn Putnam Positioning for Selectivity September 28 th, 2005](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d355503460f94a0cf92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is positioning?What is positioning?
• “Concentrating on an idea - or even a word –that defines the company/product in the minds of the consumer” (Trout and Rivken, 1995)
• Literature review of branding or positioning
Positioning applied
Coke “The Real Thing”
BMW “The ultimate driving machine”
Crest “Cavity prevention”

Positioning Strategy Positioning Strategy (Trout and Ries, 1972)(Trout and Ries, 1972)
1. What position do you already own?
2. What position would you like to own?
3. Whom must you outgun?
4. Do you have the budget to sustain?
5. Are you prepared to stick with 1 position?
6. Does creative/mktg match strategy?

Implications for CEImplications for CE
• CE ACT not 22, rather 18…..how?
• Second IPEDS– “A branch campus is defined as a location
that is not temporary; is geographically apart from the main campus; offers organized programs of study, not just courses; has its own faculty; has its own budgetary and hiring authority; and has its own systems/administrative organizations.”
![Page 25: Utah State University Dan Peterson & Jenn Putnam Positioning for Selectivity September 28 th, 2005](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d355503460f94a0cf92/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
IPEDSIPEDS
• Allowed CE to continue to grow
• Gave separate accounting of CE students ability to persist, kept out of bottle neck courses and eliminated LCD teaching
• Better retention for Main Campus as non-traditionals “stop out” vs “drop out”
![Page 26: Utah State University Dan Peterson & Jenn Putnam Positioning for Selectivity September 28 th, 2005](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d355503460f94a0cf92/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Implication for other InstitutionsImplication for other Institutions
• Selectivity costs vs. benefits– Less students, better retention, credibility
• Complete communication and support from faculty, staff and especially upper administration
• Increased resources to maintain strategy and importance of continuity both internal and external– More effort involved to recruit higher ACT students
