Branding
How might a marketing manager develop a powerful brand identity and why would it be seen as important to do so?
According to Philip Kotler, A Brand is defined as the name, term, signal and symbol or the combination of the three for any products. It is also defined as the Marketing tool which allows customers to recognize the maker and quality of the production. The brand name also helps the customer to differentiate the products. A brand name helps an organisation differentiate itself from its competitors. In today's competitive world customers expect products to have branding. Customers often build up a relationship with a brand that they trust and will regularly purchase products from that brand. Some people will only purchase a particular brand even though there are acceptable alternatives on the market. For example Apple Inc or UK retail chain John Lewis Partnership has a loyal customer base, which provides them with repeat business. Brand is every association and experience, Functional and emotional, intrinsic and original, contextual and positional and active and intentional.
In Short “A successful brand is a name, symbol, design or some combination, which identifies the “product” of some particular organisation as having sustainable competitive advantage.” (Doyle 1996)
