consumer disaggregation is vastly more efficient and profitable than aggregation

CRM(Consumer relationship management) direct marketing one-to-one marketing information based marketing Using customized publications,email,direct mail,websites and call centres based on consumer information

What are brands good for in an era of disaggregation?
Examining three core areas of brand management to find the answer:
The Consumer Relationship The Channel Relationship The Organisation of Brand Management
![Page 8: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Consumer RelationshipRelationships arises when a brand repeatedly and consistently fulfills its stated promises
Relationships built through one-way mass communications tend to be shallow Disaggreagation offers
companies possibility of strong relationships with consumers
![Page 9: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
For e.g. Krafts Foods Inc. has developed a disaggregate marketing plan
![Page 10: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This programme highlighted two central facts of disintegration :
Consumer's focus will shift from product brand to trusted umbrella brand1
As it shifts towards umbrella brand ,tactical activities are implemented with tageted consumers or segements rather than at the brand level.

It publish a quarterly food magazine along with call centres,email,website and even

How disaggregation does it better?
![Page 13: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Channel Relationship
Brands cannot directly deal with consumers,they need retailers to be the contact b/w them
In today's world,brand's marketing budgets spent on retailer's listing fees,facing fees,trade promotions and co-operative advertising is twice the money spent on brand's marketing to the end consumer
Disaggregation provides manufacturers with a new medium to influence consumer decisions that is independent of the retailer
![Page 14: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Manufacturers must act quickly because:
consumer prefer few relationships to many

retailers are not sitting idle in this game

Recent retailers efforts have been aimed at :
creating brand awareness and differentiation
promoting profitable private label lines across a wide range of products
building store loyalty
![Page 16: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
However,retailers argue that the economics of disaggregation favor
them
• Retailers spread cost of marketing over a great variety of products
• It allows retailer to achieve a fier level of segmentation• But once retailers began to use disaggregate consumer
data to drive traffic,brands were seen as a coarse and expensive mechanism for achieving traffic volume
• The risk for manufacturers is that the consumer's relationship will be with the retailer's umbrella brand
![Page 17: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusion
Manufacturers are realizing their brand's chances of survival will be better if they become an essential element of the retailer's value proposition to particular consumer segment
The brand is percieved no longer as the focal point of the marketing
![Page 18: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Brand Management Organisation
• From a long time,brand management systems have become the foundation of marketing departments of many industries
• Brand-management organiztions are adopting consumer-level disaggregation initiatives.
• The focus of marketing efforts remains the brands,not the consumers
![Page 19: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disaggreagtion's impact on Brand Management
![Page 20: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
To understand the nature of the
changes required to switch to consumer-
centric organisation,managers must think about
these three elements:
![Page 21: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. Relationship-building entity and mechanism
![Page 22: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2. Targeted communications
![Page 23: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Obtaining expertise and Brand development
![Page 24: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But it is not sufficient...
..to address the oppurtunities addressed by disaggregation,managers have to:
focus on customer profitability not on
brand-level profitability
bonuses should be tied to segment profitailty
not on
market share
customer pull v/s trade push
team coordination to tackle market oppurtunities
![Page 25: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Brands are the ideal and natural ally of mass production
![Page 26: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Whereas assembly lines reduced the cost of building products,
brands reduced the cost of building markets
![Page 27: Harvard Business review what are brands good for](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/55cadda4bb61eb87768b4658/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
From packaged consumer goods,brands are now helping in
services and business-to-business settings

Despite of retailer concentration,media fragmentation,niche
marketingand the advent of internet,brands have endured
and continued to flourish

market
