    Findings on Brand introductions

    Managers should expect better results in terms of market share in markets where a

    limited number of brands hold a large share which renders such market more

    attractive to new brands

    A new brand should be supported with a larger effort when introduce into a fast

    growing market than when the market is mature

    The amount of communication effort used to introduce a brand depends

    on only one manufacturer characteristic--the availability of resources

    Branding and its economic sense

    brands are created because buyers crave information. They see a huge

    range of products that look the same and seem to perform similar . . .

    . . . brands offer a route through the confusion. Economist,1994

    Branding is manufacturer signaling which can create a separating

    equilibrium

    Webers law effect on brand awareness and effect of sound brands

    JND for brand launch and building consumer acceptance

    Weber's Lawstates that the stimulus change needed to reach the differential threshold

    (produce a just noticeable difference) is a constantproportion of the starting stimulus

    value for any brand to get noticed

    Assume that through testing we found that;

    1 ounce (ABSOLUTE STIMULUS = 1) had to be addedto a 10-ounce container of liquid soap (STARTINGvalue ~ 10)

    before consumers detected a change in its weight.This would yield a constant of proportionality of

    K= 1/10 = 0.1, allowing us to predict that:

    (1) consumers will not detect a change in the weightof the larger 50-ounce economy bottle of the soapunless at least 5 ounces are added to or removed fromit or

    (2) consumers will be able to detect a 3-poundaddition to a 20-pound portable television

    Branding realities on loyalty

    Managerial Implications Journal of Marketing, Volume 49, Winter 1985

    A Brand seeking to improve market position needs to rely heavily oncustomer retention efforts while increasing share of users.

    If only a smaller fraction of customers attracted are retained as loyalcustomers, allocation efforts are likely to be more even between

    attraction and retention efforts

    Branding realities

    Managerial Implications

    For Brands with smaller user shares the retained fraction of new customershas to be higher, which necessitates more marketing effort in retention

    Research show that large market share business have lower advertisingto sales ratio.

    It also implies that as number of brands increases, loyalty levels declinesharply at first and then begin to level off

    The three variables in the brand anatomy (Young and Rubicam model)

    Differentiation X Relevance

    = Brand Strength.

    >> If there is no point of

    difference, a brands value will

    be low.

    >> Relevance comes next.

    Unless a brand is relevant to a

    significant segment, it will not

    attract a large customer base.

    Esteem X Knowledge

    = Brand Stature.

    >> Esteem combines perceived

    quality with perceptions of a

    growth or decline in popularity.

    >> Knowledge indicates that

    the customer not only is aware

    of the brand but also

    understands what the brand

    stands for.

    Comparing Esteem & Knowledge:

    >> Some brands rank higher in

    esteem than in knowledge. Thismeans relatively few people

    understand what the brand stands for,

    but those who do hold it in

    high regard.

    >> Conversely a brand may have high

    knowledge but low esteem.This means

    that more people know what the brand

    stands for, but relatively few hold it in

    high regard.

    Stability: Long lived brands with identities that have become part of fabric of the market andeven the culture are particularly powerful and valuable

    Market : Brands are more valuable when they are in markets with growing or stable sales levelsand a price structure in which successful firms can be profitable

    International : Brands that are international are more valuable than national or regional brands,in part because of economies of scale

    Impact of extensions on equity?

  • 7/28/2019 Brand Mgt PDF

    40/52

    Impact of extensions on equity?

    Brand extensions can affect the brand and its equity in one of the three different ways:

    Certain brands exploit the brand capital. The product sells thanks to the brands

    contribution. This is the case when the concerned product scarcely differs from

    existing market competition.

    Certain extensions destroy the brands equity. If the new product introduced underan existing brand has no relationship with the core values of parent brand then the

    brand equity can get eroded.

    Certain extensions have a neutral effect. Here the brand simply falls in line with

    what is expected of the brand.

    How does the brand extension logic work ?

    Category Based Affect Transfer

    The affect associated with the parent brand is transferred to the brand extension only when

    there is a fit between the parent and the extension categories.

    Fit serves as a signal or cue that the consumers use to make inferences about a new product.

    Attitude (Consumer opinion)towards the extension was higher when there was a fit between the

    extension and the parent product classes along one of the dimensions

    Transfer / Complementary products.

    How does the brand extension logic work . . .

    Extension evaluation was enhanced only when there was brand

    concept consistency and product feature similarity between extension

    and parent categories.

    The prestige brand concept also seemed to have greater extendibility

    to dissimilar product classes than functional brand concepts, when it

    offered extensions consistent with its brand concept.

    Brand has a positive impact on the success of an extension if the extension is in a similarproduct category.

    43/52

    There are several factors that can affect the brand extensions timing of entry decision.

    Two reasons for brand extensions to enter late are

    4the high-product failure rates in young markets will subject an extensions parent

    brand to risk,

    and

    4extensions may have positioning difficulties in young markets.

    Two reasons for brand extensions to extend early are

    4the possibility of gaining early mover advantages, and

    4the extensions known brand name may reduce the new products chance of failing.

    The results indicate that early-entering brand extensions do not perform as well on average as

    either early-entering new-name products or late-entering brand extensions.

    44/52

    This conclusion is based on four findings.

    1) the brand extensions were introduced later on average than the new-name products.

    2) the early brand extensions had a lower probability of surviving than either the early-entering

    new-name products orlate-entering brand extensions.

    3) the brand extensions earned higher market shares on average than the new-name products,

    4) the extensions obtained smaller market share from entering early than did new-name

    products.

    Findings

    Perceived company credibility and fit appear to mediate the effects of intervening extensions onevaluations of a proposed extension.

    The relative similarity of intervening extensions had little differential impact on evaluations of a

    proposed extension.

    Multiple intervening extensions can have different effects than a single intervening extension.

    Intervening extensions of mixed success have effects more like those of a single failed intervening

    extension than those of a single successful intervening extension.

    An unsuccessful extension does not prevent the firm from backtracking.
