Positioning: the cheapest growth lever you’re ignoring

By Kian Consults · 6 min read

Before you spend a naira more on ads, get one thing right: positioning. It’s the cheapest growth lever you have, and the one most businesses skip.

What positioning really means

Positioning is the answer to two questions — who are you for, and why should they choose you over the alternatives? Get this clear and every ad, page and email gets easier to write and more effective.

  • Who you’re for (and who you’re not)
  • The specific promise you make
  • The proof that makes it believable
  • Why you, not the alternative

Fix this before you scale

Scaling weak positioning just spends money faster. Sharpen the message first, then turn up the spend — the same budget will go much further.
