http://orgprints.org/7629/ The positioning of organic products: which way forward? Zanoli, Prof. Raffaele Naspetti, Dr. Simona Markets and trade Consumer issues The current positioning of organic products is based on a segmentation approach that recognises the organic market basically as a (enlarging) niche. Research conducted by the authors through various EU projects shows that the positioning of organic products cannot simply hinge on attributes/characteristics that differentiate organic products from their competitors, nor is a strategy based on benefit segmentation enough. A value/need based positioning of organic food products is proposed, based on a lateral marketing approach. 2006 Conference paper, poster, etc. NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://orgprints.org/7629/1/ZAnoli-Naspetti_Odense_06.pdf Zanoli, Prof. Raffaele and Naspetti, Dr. Simona (2006) The positioning of organic products: which way forward?
