    Why Education

  • 8/8/2019 38872282 Branding Project

    4/23

    The number of Indian families who give a very high priority to education is

    on the rise; so is their purchasing capacity. The economic revolution

    triggered by the knowledge economy companies has acted as a catalyst in

    increasing the value of education beyond the middle-income group. These

    trends have put tremendous expectations on the schooling system both in

    terms of scale, innovations, and learning philosophies. In management and

    other professional colleges, a need for extra hours of coaching is felt now a

    days due to the demanding course structure and lack of availability of

    faculties at all time. Students look for people who can help them in further

    sharpening their basics and help them master their core subjects and area of

    interests.

    As India takes the leap from a developing economy to one of the global

    leaders of the information age, the awareness about and value of education

    have also gone up. Middle-income-group families have for long held

    education as the cornerstone of their value-system. Now, they are looking

    for better and more effective education options to fuel their aspirations.

    Brand elements of SUCCESS

    Brand elements sometimes called brand identities, are those trademarkable

    devices that serve to identify and differentiate the brand. The main once of

    our brand are brand name, logo, symbol(star), characters, tagline, the color

    combination of logo, all these has been found to enhance brand awareness

    facilitates the formation of strong, favorable, and unique brand association

    and feelings with the students and faculty of the college - JIM Noida. There

    are several criteria for choosing brand elements. These are

    1. memorability

    2. meaningfulness

    3. likeability

    4. transferability

    5. adapatability

    6. protectability

    Memorability

    This is one of the necessary conditions for our brand SUCCESS, the thing

    what we considered was that it can last in the minds of the college, students.

    The size of the logo, the tagline, the color combination in the logo, all these

    bring together the variables as easily recognized and easily recalled.

    Meaningfulness

    The brand elements can take all kinds of meaning. There were someparticular important criteria like what the general information of our

    product/service gives to the students. The thing we thought that how a

    student could correctly identify the product category for the brand based on

    the brand element and it also considered the specific information about

    particular attributes and benefit of the brand SUCCESS.

  • 8/8/2019 38872282 Branding Project

    11/23

    Likeability

    Independent of its memorability and meaningfulness, do students find the

    brand elements appealing? It is the matter of likeable visually, verbally, and

    in other ways. A memorable, meaningful, and likeable set of brand elements

    offer many advantages because consumers often do not examine much

    information in making product decisions. But here the matter was about the

    educational service that we offer. So the important factor was the creative

    potential of the brand name and brand element to capture intangible

    characteristics of a brand.

    Transferability

    This measures the extent to which the brand elements adds to the brand

    equity of our brand SUCCESS. How it reacts within and across products

    categories or across various competitors.

    Adaptability

    The fifth consideration of our brand element is the adaptability because of

    changes in the mind set of student regarding the service and satisfaction,

    they get. The more adaptable and flexible the brand element, the easier it is

    to update with. So we have provided various services in each streams of

    MBA so that more and more students can be benefited.

    Protectability

    This is the final general consideration of the brand element which considers

    two variables - legal and competitive sense. So we checked across the

    websites that, is there any other service which is offering the same service

    with the same name and also the logo verification.

    OPTONS AND TACTICS OF BRAND ELEMENTS

  • 8/8/2019 38872282 Branding Project

    12/23

    BRAND NAME

    The brand name is fundamentally important choice because it often captures

    the central theme or key associations of a product in a very compact and

    economical fashion. Brand names can be an extremely effective shorthandmeans of communications. So we chose the brand name as SUCCESS,

    because there are students who want to excel in the class, in the batch, or

    they want to make clear knowledge and understanding of the subjects that

    have been offered to them.

    It is so closely tied to the product in the minds of the students, the brand

    name is also most difficult element to change once this has created an image

    in the mind of student. So it was a very hard job to identify the right word

    which could fulfill the voice of our brand to be delivered.

    We focused on the variables so that it becomes simplicity and ease of

    pronunciation and the spellings of the brand. The SUCCESS has all these

    factors to satisfy. To encourage the word of mouth exposure that helps to

    built strong memory links. This brand name offered a clear, understandable,

    and unambiguous pronunciation and meaning.

    The brand association was also main factor to be considered like we had to

    create a brand name which could have the compact form of communication,

    the explicit and implicit meanings students extract from it.

    For naming the brand we defined our objectives which we wanted to achieve

    by naming. Once the objective is defined, with the branding strategy in

    place, next generate as many names and concepts as possible. For this we all

    group members sat and thought for a while, we also went through the target

    customers (students).

    The logo of the brand (star sign) has a means to indicate origin,ownership or association. The advantage of the logo is to recognize the

    product and also the versatility because they are non verbal. The character

    color, and the size were also discussed which could suit the logo we

    designed. The tagline In everything we do, communicates descriptive and

  • 8/8/2019 38872282 Branding Project

    13/23

    persuasive information about the brand because who goes through it, creates

    its image and impact in their minds.

    Putting it all together we see that each brand element can play a different

    role in building brand equity. The entire set of brand elements makes up the

    brand identity, the contribution of all brand elements to awareness and

    image. We choose each brand elements to support the others which can be

    easily incorporated into other aspects of the brand and marketing program.

    Brand names characterized by rich, concrete visual imagery often yield

    powerful logos and symbols. This is what the SUCCESS is all about.

    brand. A brand is a live asset and shows all the characteristics of a living

    cognitive entity.

    Brand equity is constantly changing just as society's values, perceptions, and

    intelligence is changing. One must understand the equity their brand has in

    the market and also understand how

    Brands image measures up against the identity one is trying to create.
