LEARNING FROM KELLER’S MODEL OF BRAND EQUITY

79

Building a Brand • To build a strong brand, you have to build the right

type of experiences around your brand, so that customers have specific, positive thoughts, feelings, beliefs, opinions, and perceptions about it.

• When you have strong brand equity, your customers will buy more from you, they'll recommend you to other people, they're more loyal, and you're less likely to lose them to competitors.

80

Judgments Feelings

Salience 1. Identify: Who you are

2. Meaning: What you are

3. Response: What about you

4. Relationships: What about you & me

A Four Steps, Six Blocks Pyramid Model

81

Brand Identity- Who you are? • First step is to create brand awareness- For brand to stand out,

customers need to aware of it

• Brand perceptions need to be correct during the key stages of buying process

• You need to have a thorough understanding of how customers see your brand

• Different segment of customers may have different relationship with your brand

– How they wish to choose yours over the competitors?

– What decision making process they do while choosing yours?

– How they classify/ perceive your product/brand?

– How well your brand stands out when they do above processes? Do customers understand your USP?

• Perceptual gaps? – Yours and theirs- Identify actions for that

82

Brand Meaning- What are you? • Second step is what your brand stands for or what your brand

means? – you have to communicate

• Two building blocks of this step is ‘Performance’ and ‘Imagery’

• "Performance" defines how well your product meets your customers' needs. Performance would include product reliability, durability, and serviceability; service effectiveness, efficiency, and empathy; style and design; and price.

• "Imagery" refers to how well your brand meets your customers' needs on a social and psychological level. Your brand can meet these needs directly, from a customer's own experiences with a product; or indirectly, with targeted marketing, or with word of mouth.

• Eg: Tata, ITC

• To identify needs one may use ‘Kano Model Analysis’

83

Brand Response- What customers think or feel about you? • In step 3 the two building blocks are ‘Judgments’ and ‘Feelings’

• What judgments customers make about your brand?

• It may be on actual/ perceived quality, may judge the credibility- using criteria such as expertise, innovation, trustworthiness and likability, may judge how it meets their unique needs, may judge how superior over other brands

• Next is how your brand / product make the customers feel about themselves – emotional response

• It may include any positive feelings such as – warmth, fun, excitement, security, social approval, and self-respect.

• So What you do?

84

02-Dec-13

15

Brand Response- What customers think or feel about you? • Consider the following questions carefully in relation to these:

– What can you do to improve the actual and perceived quality of your product or brand?

– How can you enhance your brand's credibility?

– How well does your marketing strategy communicate your brand's relevancy to people's needs?

– How does your product or brand compare with those of your competitors?

• Next, think carefully about the brand feelings: Which, if any, of these feelings does your current marketing strategy focus on? What can you do to enhance these feelings for your customers?

• Identify actions that you need to take as a result of asking these questions.

85

Brand Resonance – How much of a connection would a customer like to have with you? • Step 4 is at the top of the pyramid – Difficult but desirable level to

achieve

• Brand resonance is achieved when customers feel a deep, psychological bond with your brand.

• Resonance may be categorised as:

– Behavioral loyalty: Regular & repeated purchases

– Attitudinal attachment: Love for the brand – purchase other products

– Sense of community: Association with other consumers

– Active engagement: Customers are actively engaged with your brand, even when they are not purchasing it or consuming it. Could include joining a club related to the brand; participating in online chats, following your brand on social media; or taking part in other, outside activities.
