    BRAND CONCEPT

    Branding has come a long way in India and also around the world. The word brand comesfrom the word "brandr, a word used by early Norse tribesmen meaning to burn,

    as in branding livestock to declare ownership. No doubt, anyone who has read

    cowboy stories is familiar with the concept of branding cattle.

    Over time branding of cattle became not just mark of ownership but also of quality. In theChicago meat market, buyers recognized quality beef through the brand mark on

    the cattle. This was because the ranches which produced better quality of meat didso as it impliedbetter grass or more adequate supply of water, better living

    conditions for the cattle or a shorter journey to the meat market. No longer was

    meat on the hoof a commodity, it was branded and the better quality wasrecognizable.

    In the earliest form, a brand mark defined quality, a mark which differentiated a qualityproduct from other similar products. Many years ago, in the Soviet Union, when

    products were sold under a generic name, the factory manufacturing the producthad to mark its identity on the packaging. Customers soon realized that a detergent

    powder produced in one factory was superior to another in quality. Eventually,housewives would turn the packaging around while purchasing to identify theorigin of the product and make their choices on the basis of its manufacturing

    location. The serial number of the factory had become a brand as it is differentiatedfrom other similar detergents, which, according to the state, were supposed to beidentical in formulation and in every other way. This is similar to the Nirma story

    where the brand name was the only differentiator between totally similar products

    in the Ahemadabad market in the early 1970s

    Brand Characteristics(Six levels of Brand)

    The world is rapidly shrinking . There may be various viewpoints throughwhich a person may perceive the brand in a particular way.

    Lets take Mercedes Benz for example:

    Attributes:

    The company may use one or more of the attributes to advertise the car.

    Benefits: Customers are not buying attributes, they are buying benefits.Attributes need to be translated into emotional and functional benefit.

    Values: The brand also says something about the producers values.

    Culture: The brand may represent a certain culture.

    Personality: The brand can also project a certain personality. If the brand werea person, an animal, or an object, what would come to mind?

    User: The brand suggests the kind of consumer who buys or uses the product.

    2. TYPES OF BRANDS

    A. FUNCTIONAL BRANDS

    Here, the functional dimension of the brand is far morevisible and appealing than the emotional or symbolicdimension.

    E.g. Nivea, Desprin

    B. SYMBOLIC BRANDSHere, the symbolic or emotional dimension is more

    prevalent than the functional dimension. The decisionswould be based on more of the emotional aspect thanthat of rational aspect. In the circumstances whereconsumer buying is emotions driven, the brand mustaccordingly focus on symbolic or emotional aspects.

    Unit-III2. TYPES OF BRANDS

    The functional dimension is the products attributes andbenefits or the tangible properties while the

    symbolic dimensions are the intangible aspects ofthe brand. A marketer can combine these two

    elements to create the right appeal for customers.

    In consumer behaviour the rational and emotionalperspectives are two models that explain how

    consumers make purchase decisions. Successfulbranding, therefore, depends on combining the

    rational and emotional components of a brand in a

    manner that it becomes consistent with theconsumers frame of mind.

    1. Brand having a Physical Facets or Quality: talks about what the product is,what does it do, how does it add value to customers, how does it fill up the gap inthe market. it is a combination of either salient objective features or emergingones.

    2. Brand personality A brand has a personality of its own. By communicating, it

    gradually builds up the character. The way in which it speaks of its products orservices shows what kind of person it would be if it were human being. This isalso called the personification of the brand and this helps in the instant productalignment with the target customers.

    It is measured using those traits/features of consumer personality that are directlyrelated to brands. Proper care should be taken not to confuse it with consumer'sreflection. Brand personality is closely linked with self image and image of the

    consumer. Questions to be asked are:

    1) What are the features of consumer personality?2) What are the features of brand if it was a person? This depends on thefunctional aspect of the product and the gap it would fill.

    3. Brand having its culture:The product is not only a concrete representation of itsculture, but also a means of communication. culture means a set of values

    feeding the brand's inspiration.The cultural facets refer to the basic principles governing the brand in its

    outward signs like products and communication. This essential aspect is at thecore of the brand.

    4. Brand Relationships:Brands are often at the crux of transactions andexchanges between people. This is particularly true of brands in the servicesector and also in retails. Service is by definition is a relationship. Every

    brand has to maintain healthy relationships with customers.

    5. Brand is a reflection:Every product is designed to satisfy some need ofthe intended customer base. A consumer has to be reflected in a way,which would show how he or she could image himself consuming aparticular good.

    For example, in India anyone consuming Pepsi Cola would imagine himself to be youngand Thumps up (another cola drink from Coke stable) to be adventurous.

    For this aspect, questions are to be put to customer experience team about What would theusers imagine while using the product?

    6. Customer Self Image:Consumers get attracted to those brands in which

    they see their own traits, for example, a man who is muscular and strongwould smoke Marlboro. This goes hand in hand with brand personality

    Awareness is measured through recognition Recognitions reflect familiarity gained from past exposure. Recognition does

    not necessarily involve remembering where the brand was encounteredbefore why it differs from other brands or even what the brands product class

    is. It is simply remembering that there was a past exposure to the brand.When consumers see a brand and remember that they have seen it before

    they realize that the company is spending money to support the brand. Sinceit is generally believed that companies will not spend money on products

    consumers take their recognition as a signal that the brand is good.

    Brand loyaltyis a consumers preference to buy a particular brand ina product category. It occurs because consumers perceive that thebrand offers the right product features, images, or level of quality at

    the right price. This perception becomes the foundation for a newbuying habit. Consumers initially will make a trial purchase of thebrand and, after satisfaction, tend to form habits and continuepurchasing the same brand because the product is safe and familiar

    Brand loyalists have the following mindsets:

    I am committed to this brand. I am willing to pay a higher price for this brand over other brands.

    I will recommend this brand to others.

    LOYALTY SEGMENTATION:

    The challenges to improve the brands loyalty profile are to increase the number

    of customers who are not price switchers, to strengthen the fence sitters andcommitted ties to the brand and to increase the number who would pay more touse the brand or service. Two segments where the companies generally under

    invest are passively loyal and the committed customers. The passively loyalcustomers are often taken for granted. At the other end of the spectrum are thehighly loyal or committed customers. Firms also tend to take this group forgranted. Yet there may be significant potential to increase business from the veryloyal.

    The loyal Marriott customer might be encouraged to select even more than often

    with a improved portfolio of business support services such as fax machines inrooms.

    Further there is a risk that loyal customers can be enticed away by a competitor ifthe performance of the product or service is not improved. For these reasonsfirms should avoid diverting resources from the loyal core to the non-customersand price switchers. One approach to enhancing the loyalty of fence sitters andthe committed is to develop or strengthen their relationship with the brand.

    to stand for in the consumers mind. A key to brand building then is to develop andimplement brand identity. One key to successful brand building is to develop a brandidentity- to know what the brand stands for and to effectively express that identity. -Hyundai Santro has clearly positioned itself as the sunshine car and endorsed PreityZinta known for her bubbly personality to match their positioning statement. Invariablyall brands come to acquire a meaning in the mind of the customer. Customersassociate different dimensions of the product including its use and use situations to thebrands. Brand association, therefore, is anything linked to the memory of a brand. Thusa jingle like Happy days are here again has been associated in the customers mindwith Thumps Up. Surf is linked with the economy-minded middle class housewife-Lalitaji in the advertisements.

    The nameTatais associated with quality. It is important to know how strong thisassociation is and for a family name like this, which are the products with which thisassociation is the strongest.

    Brand Equity

    The major asset and Liabilities categories are:

    Perceived Quality -

    A brand will have associated with it a perception of overall quality,which is not necessarily based on knowledge of detailed

    specifications. The quality perception may take on somewhat differentforms for different types of industries. Perceived quality meanssomething different for Compaq or IBM than for Coca-Cola or Pepsi.Perceived quality will directly influence purchase decisions and brandloyalty, especially when a buyer is not motivated or able to conduct adetailed analysis. It can also support a premium price, which, in turn,

    can create gross margin that can be reinvested in brand equity.Further, perceived quality can be the basis for a brand extension. If abrand is well-regarded in one context, then the assumption will be thatit will have high quality in a related context.
