BRANDING.

BRANDING. Differentiate!

.

.

Objective of Branding

Create in the mind of the prospect the

PERCEPTION

that there’s no other product or service

quite like this Branded One!

.

.

Why do we want to do that?

Abundance of choices

Being distinctive is the way potential users will decide whom to do business with

Statement

For consumers ages 16-35, Crest Whitestrips whiten teeth five times better than the leading paint-on whitening gel. That’s because Crest’s gel-coated strips hold the peroxide on teeth longer, to whiten stains below the tooth surface.

BRANDING.

.When We build a brand

Than

Create a better perception in the mind.

.

.

A Brand lives or dies:

• Not in the mind of the Company

• Not in the mind of the CEO

But in the mind of the Customers!

.

.

your product is the first that comes to mind in a certain product category

eg. ice tea = Snapple, running shoes = Nike

.

.

Branding Isn’t:

Just a logo/catchy slogan

A little Advertising

Having attractive stationery or letterhead

.

.

Brands are much more than logos

.

.

What is a brand?

• A brand is a “name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competition.”

• These different components of a brand that identify and differentiate it are brand elements.

..

What is a brand?

• Many practicing managers refer to a brand as more than that— as something that has actually created a certain amount of awareness, reputation, prominence, and so on in the marketplace.

• We can make a distinction between the AMA definition of a “brand” with a small b and the industry’s concept of a “Brand” with a capital B.

Brands vs. Products

• A product is anything we can offer to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a need or want.

• A product may be a physical good, a service, a retail outlet, a person, an organization, a place, or even an idea.

Five Levels of Meaning for a Product .

.

Levels of Meaning for Product

• Core Benefit Level

• Generic Product Level

• Expected Product Level

• Augmented Product Level

• Potential Product Level

Brands vs. Products

• A brand is therefore more than a product, as it can have dimensions that differentiate it in some way from other products designed to satisfy the same need.

• Some brands create competitive advantages

with product performance; other brands create competitive advantages through non-product-related means.

The Sony Vaio series – one voice by Sony

* Aesthetics – integrated family look. All products bear some common elements.* Style of use – interface design – unique way of operating a product.* Some functions special to the brand

Brand Today

People overwhelmed by available choices

Human attention is a major business currency

Interest in, and loyalty to, brands that don’t “touch them” fall off the choice chart.

For homemakers, Dow Bathroom Products are the easy way to get a great clean shine for your tub, tile and toilet. That’s because only Dow Bathroom Products contain scrubbing bubbles that cut through dirt and grime clean to the shine!
