		<description>I completely agree with all of your points, James. As an extension of Motivating, or perhaps as an additional point, I would add the element of &quot;Emotion Benefit&quot;. An example of this is Jif Peanut Butter&#039;s positioning/tagline: Choosy Mothers Choose Jif&quot;. The positioning basically tells moms: If Jif is the peanut butter brand you choose, then you are a good mother, one who is selective and caring about what you feed your kid. If you don&#039;t choose Jif, you are not a good mother. This positioning has nothing to do with the functional benefits or the product or situational use of the product but can play a key role in defining the brand.</description>
