6 Types of Positional Good

 , updated on
A positional good is a product or service that has limited supply that consumers typically demand more of as their income rises. Positional goods often have a high price due to their limited supply and strong demand. The following are common types of positional good.

Luxury Goods

Products and services that deliberately constrain supply and set prices high. Luxury goods are widely viewed as a type of social status that demonstrate an individual's wealth. Successful luxury brands may be tempted to lower prices as this can generate significant demand and revenue. However, in the long term this can harm the brand as customer who paid more may feel dissatisfied.

Arts & Crafts

Art works and crafts produced by hand by a skilled craftsperson.

Education & Memberships

Education and memberships to elite institutions. All other things being equal, scarce degrees tend to be worth more than degrees held by a large number of people.

Scarce Resources

Resources that have limited supply such as gold.

Events

Tickets to events such as sporting events.

Club Goods

Club goods such as access to a popular theme park.
