Positioning allows you to eliminate competition by positioning yourself as the expert in a specific area. Clients will see you as the only choice to solve their problems, thus giving you an advantage in sales.
Attracting High Ticket Clients
Premium positioning helps attract high ticket clients by positioning yourself as the expert in your niche. As clients see you as the solution to their specific problems, you can confidently charge higher prices based on the value you provide.

Crafting Unique Positioning for Your Design Business
Crafting unique positioning for your design business is essential for standing out in a saturated market. It involves identifying what makes you unique as a designer and using that to attract your ideal clients. This process requires introspection, research, and identifying your target audience's pain points. Through passion projects and showcasing relevant portfolio pieces, you can establish yourself as an expert in your desired niche. Additionally, asking for referrals and making connections in your target industry can help you break into a new market.
The Power of Clarity in Positioning and Messaging
Clarity in positioning and messaging is key to building a successful design business. Positioning provides the foundation for your messaging, allowing you to communicate your unique value and resonate with your target audience. By taking the time to research, brainstorm, and get clear on what makes you unique, you can create messaging that aligns with your positioning. Passion projects can help you showcase your expertise and attract the right clients. Remember that this process may evolve over time, and it's important to be flexible and willing to adjust your positioning and messaging as needed.
