Etymology

The term 'repositioning' originated in the business world, specifically in marketing and branding. It refers to the strategic action of changing the perception or market positioning of a company, brand, product, or service. This practice became popular as businesses sought to adapt to changing market conditions, consumer preferences, or competitive landscapes. By repositioning themselves, companies aim to differentiate their offerings, attract new customers, or regain market share. The concept of repositioning has since been widely adopted across various industries as a key strategy for maintaining relevance and competitiveness.
