    What is brand?

    A brand is a product, service, or concept thatis publicly distinguished from other products,services, or concepts so that it can be easily

    communicated and usually marketed. A brandname is the name of the distinctive product,service, or concept. Branding is the process ofcreating and disseminating the brand name.Branding can be applied to the entire corporateidentity as well as to individual product andservice names.

    Brands are usually protected from use by others bysecuring a trademarkorservice markfrom an authorizedagency, usually a government agency. Before applyingfor a trademark or service mark, you need to establish that

    someone else hasnt already obtained one for your name.Although you can do the searching yourself, it is commonto hire a law firm that specializes in doing trademarksearches and managing the application process, which, inthe United States, takes about a year. Once youve

    learned that no one else is using it, you can begin to useyour brand name as a trademark simply by stating it is atrademark. After you receive the trademark, you can usethe registered symbol after your trademark.

    graphic representations of the brand. In computers, a

    recent example ofwidespread brand application was

    the I ntel I nside label provided to manufacturersthat use Intels microchips.

    A companysbrands and the publics awareness of

    them is often used as a factor in evaluating a

    company. Corporations sometimes hire market

    research firms to study public recognition of brand

    names as well as attitudes toward the brands.

    Case 1 Macdonalds

    Why do you think this promotion was

    unpopular with Macdonalds customers?

    How do you think Macdonalds dealt with the

    situation?

    Case 1 Macdonalds

    The promotion was unpopular because it gave amisleading impression of the price. When the price ofthe french fries and drink at the full price were

    taken into account, the discount on the whole mealamounted to only about 5%.

    McDonalds withdrew the promotion and cancelled thecampaign. It also announced a major reorganisation inits management structure, scrapping the 40-year-oldtradition of centralised management in Illinois, USA,and appointing local managers instead.

    sumo wrestlers preparing to fight; twocrabs meeting; two monsters; a vikingship.

    Case Study: Caferoma

    ProblemsCaferomas share of the European quality ground coffeemarket has declined by almost 25%, reasons are:

    Brand loyalty: consumers becoming less loyal to brands and

    prefer low-priced coffee products Price: supermarkets selling similar products under their own

    label at much lower prices

    Copycat products: at prices 30% to 40% lower than

    Caferomas price; having cut into Caferomas market share Brand image: no longer conveying feeling of excitement

    and enthusiasm, not giving the impression of up-to-date andcontemporary
