• {{market}}: The specific market or industry context.
• {{competitors}}: (Optional) Key competitors and their positioning.
• {{segments}}: (Optional) Additional audience segments for tailored messaging.

Instructions

2. Analyze the product's unique features and benefits to identify its core value proposition.
3. Develop a clear positioning statement that differentiates the product from competitors and addresses the target audience's needs.
4. Create messaging points that highlight key benefits and resonate with the specified audience(s). If multiple segments are provided, tailor messaging for each.
5. Suggest strategies to position the product as essential in the given market.
