The Ideal Spot in the Segment Circles
So, where should you try to position your product in the segment circles? As a basic rule, the 'Ideal Spot' will help guide you. The ideal spot represents the position with the highest point of demand for each consumer base – or segment.
The ideal spot is made up by the product’s performance (speed) and size. As the perceptual map drifts down and to the right each year, the ideal spot will change as customers demand sensors with decreased size (smaller) and increased performance (faster).
Although it would seem that the Ideal Spot would be in the center of the segment circle, the positioning actually varies due to the customer focus of each segment. For example, in the High End segment, the Ideal Spot is at the leading edge of the segment because those customers want the best possible product. Each segment’s ideal spot is represented by the pink dots on the Perceptual Map.
