#ExpandCapacity: Building a Strong BRAND 2





1.       Brand Name Selection – Branding Decisions
  #ExpandCapacity
2.       When talking about branding decisions, the brand name decision may be the most obvious one. #ExpandCapacity
3.       The name of the brand is maybe what you think of first when imagining a brand – it is the base of the brand. #ExpandCapacity
4.       Therefore, the brand name selection belongs to the most important branding decisions. However, it is also quite a difficult task
5.       We have to start with a careful review of the product and its benefits,the target market and proposed marketing strategies.#ExpandCapacity
6.       Naming a brand is part science, part art, and certainly a measure of instinct. #ExpandCapacity
7.       Although finding the right name for a brand can be a challenging task, there are some guidelines to make it easier. #ExpandCapacity

8.       It should suggest something about a product’s benefits and qualities. #ExpandCapacity
9.       It should be easy to pronounce, recognise, and remember. iPod and Nike are certainly better than “Troglodyte Homonculus” #ExpandCapacity
10.   The brand name should be distinctive, so that consumers don’t confuse it with other brands. Rolex and Bugatti are good examples
11.   It should also be extendable. Think of Amazon, which began as an online bookseller but chose a name that would allow expansion
12.   The brand name should translate easily into foreign languages. #ExpandCapacity
13.   The Ford Pinto line had some struggles in Brazil, seeing as it translated into “tiny male genitals”. @TundePhoster #ExpandCapacity
14.   Or the Mitsubishi Pajero, which means in Spanish “man who plays with himself and enjoys it a bit too much” @TundePhoster #ExpandCapacity
15.   More famous: Coca-Cola reads  in Chinese as “female horse stuffed with wax”. @TundePhoster #ExpandCapacity
16.   It should be capable of registration and legal protection. In other words, it must not infringe on existing brand names. #ExpandCapacity
17.   Brand Sponsorship – Branding Decisions
  #ExpandCapacity
18.   Branding decisions go beyond deciding upon brand positioning and brand name. #ExpandCapacity
19.   The third of our four branding decisions is the brand sponsorship. A manufacturer has four brand sponsorship options.
#ExpandCapacity
20.   A product may be launched as a manufacturer’s brand...E.g include Kellogg selling its output under the own brand name Kellog’s Frosties
21.   The manufacturer could also sell to resellers who give d product a private brand. This is also called a store brand, a distributor brand
22.   manufacturers can choose licensed brands. Instead of spending millions to create own brand names, #ExpandCapacity
23.   This can also involve names of well-known celebrities or characters from popular movies and books. #ExpandCapacity
24.   two companies can join forces and co-brand a product. Co-branding is the practice of using the established brand names of two companies
25.   This can offer many advantages, such as the fact that the combined brands create broader consumer appeal and larger brand equity
