Therefore, product positioning is the process of creating an image and value so consumers in a target market understand the nature of a company and its products relative to the competition (Clow & Baack, 2007). In doing this, a company is sending a message to consumers and trying to establish a competitive advantage that it hopes will appeal to customers in the target segment. In essence, therefore, the marketing mix can be seen as the tactical details of the organization’s positioning strategy. Where, for example, the organization is pursuing a high-quality position, this need to be reflected not just in the quality of the product or service, but in every element of the mix, including price, the pattern of distribution, the style of advertising and the after-sales service.

It was soon thereafter that the two decided to merge Au Bon Pain and the cookie store to form Au Bon Pain Co. Inc. Both individuals formed a synergistic relationship that only helped the company grow into an overwhelming success. “Shaich was the hard driving, analytical strategist focused on operations, and Kane was the seasoned businessperson with a wealth of real estate and finance connections” . “In 1985, the partners added sandwiches to bolster daytime sales as they noticed a pattern in customer behavior” . What the two realized is that their customers were buying Au Bon Pain’s bread and using their own cold cuts to make sandwiches their self.
