Branding  
 
Brands were introduced to increase the reputation and value of a particular manufacturer.
An Identified Brand Often Means Safety and Quality and Leads to Popularity.
     
 
Brand Management is the application of marketing techniques to a specific product, product line, or brand. It seeks to increase the product's perceived value to the customer and thereby increase brand franchise and brand equity.
 
     
  We Adopt the Following Principles of Brand Management.  
  A good Brand Name should  
     
 
  • Be legally protect able
  • Be easy to pronounce
  • Be easy to remember
  • Be easy to recognize
  • Attract attention
  • Suggest product benefits
  • Suggest the company or product image
  • Distinguish the product's positioning relative to the competition.
 
  Positioning (marketing)  
 
In marketing, positioning has come to mean the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization.
 
     
  Product Positioning Process  
  Our product positioning process involves:  
 
  • Defining the market in which the product or brand will compete
  • Collecting information from a sample of customers about their views.
  • Determine each product's share.
  • Determine the target market's preferred combination of attributes.
  • Position.
 
  Positioning Concepts  
  More generally, there are three types of positioning concepts:  
  Functional Positions  
 
  • Solve problems
  • Provide benefits to customers
  • Get favorable perception by investors (stock profile) and lenders
 
  Symbolic Positions  
 
  • Self-image enhancement
  • Affective fulfillment
 
  Experiential Positions  
 
  • Provide sensory stimulation
  • Provide cognitive stimulation
 
  Market Segment  
 
A Market Segment is a subgroup of people or organizations sharing one or more characteristics that cause them to have similar product needs.

Market segmentation is the process in marketing of dividing a market into distinct subsets that behave in the same way or have similar needs. Because each segment is fairly homogeneous in their needs and attitudes, they are likely to respond similarly to a given marketing strategy.
 
  The Variables We Used for Segmentation Include:  
 
  • Geographic variables – region, size, density of area, climate, etc.
  • Demographic variables – age, gender, family size, Education, income, Occupation, socioeconomic status, religion, language
  • Psychographic variables – personality, life style, value, attitude
  • Behavioural variables - benefit sought, product usage rate, brand loyalty, product end use, readiness-to-buy stage, decision making unit, profitability, income status
 
  Advertising  
 
Advertising is a communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to use and obtain them.

We, after taking in consideration all the needs of the company, its products, and also the market temperament, devise a comprehensive advertising plan which would be most effective in generating the desired results.
 
  Types of Advertising

  After the Advertising and Promotional Campaign is Released, the Next Activity Involves:

  Advertising Research  
     
  Types of Advertising Research  
  Pre-Testing  
 
Pre-testing, also known as copy testing is a form of customized research that predicts in-market performance of an ad, before it airs, by analyzing audience levels of attention, brand linkage, motivation, entertainment and communication, as well as breaking down the ad’s Flow of Attention and Flow of Emotion.
 
     
  Post-Testing  
 
Post-testing/Ad tracking studies can be customized or syndicated. Tracking studies provide either periodic or continuous in-market research monitoring a brand’s performance, including brand awareness, brand preference, product usage and attitudes. Advertising tracking can be done by telephone interviews or online interviews—with the two approaches producing fundamentally different measures of consumer memories of advertising, recall versus recognition
