The point of the article is that it urges marketing executives to develop a positioning strategy that is relevant only to one or two considered segments (the yes-cliet), instead of trying to bring up all characteristics of a certain product or service, and try to make it appeal to all possible consumers, since eventually another company will come with another brand, and position its product according to the critical characteristics considered by a certain segment, and it will happen to all segments until your omni position brand/product/service goes out of business. I understand this idea perfectly, but my question is, if you're working in an emerging market, with a new product, when do you know its the moment to concentrate all your efforts on certain segments? Or in a bigger context: is it possible to ignore this strategy at all in the early stages of the emerging market?
