  • Product and Pricing Strategies MM – 102
    Product and Pricing Strategies MM – 102 GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THE SUBJECT At the end of the course, individuals will examine the principles of Product & Pricing and apply them within the companies need critically reflect Marketing behavior within companies and their impact on the development of this course. 9. PRODUCT & PRICING STRATEGIES 9.1 Overview of Products & Pricing 9.2 Product Mix 9.3 Stages of New Product Development 9.4 Package & Label 9.5 Pricing Strategy 9.6 Breakeven Analysis 9.1 Overview of Products & Pricing This lesson deals with the first two components of a marketing mix: product strategy and pricing strategy. Marketers broadly define a product as a bundle of physical, service, and symbolic attributes designed to satisfy consumer wants. Therefore, product strategy involves considerably more than producing a physical good or service. It is a total product concept that includes decisions about package design, brand name, trademarks, warranties, guarantees, product image, and new-product development. The second element of the marketing mix is pricing strategy. Price is the exchange value of a good or service. An item is worth only what someone else is willing to pay for it. In a primitive society, the exchange value may be determined by trading a good for some other commodity. A horse may be worth ten coins; twelve apples may be worth two loaves of bread. More advanced societies use money for exchange. But in either case, the price of a good or service is its exchange value. Pricing strategy deals with the multitude of factors that influence the setting of a price.

  • Principles of Brand Management
    Brand management is the application of marketing techniques to a specific product, product line, or brand. It seeks to increase a product's perceived value to the customer and thereby increase brand franchise and brand equity. Marketers see a brand as an implied promise that the level of quality people have come to expect from a brand will continue with future purchases of the same product. This may increase sales by making a comparison with competing products more favorable. It may also enable the manufacturer to charge more for the product. The value of the brand is determined by the amount of profit it generates for the manufacturer. This can result from a combination of increased sales and increased price, and/or reduced COGS (cost of goods sold), and/or reduced or more efficient marketing investment. All of these enhancements may improve the profitability of a brand, and thus, "Brand Managers" often carry line-management accountability for a brand's P&L (Profit and Loss) profitability, in contrast to marketing staff manager roles, which are allocated budgets from above, to manage and execute. In this regard, Brand Management is often viewed in organizations as a broader and more strategic role than Marketing alone. The annual list of the world’s most valuable brands, published by Interbrand and Business Week, indicates that the market value of companies often consists largely of brand equity. Research by McKinsey & Company, a global consulting firm, in 2000 suggested that strong, well-leveraged brands produce higher returns to shareholders than weaker, narrower brands.[citation needed] Taken together, this means that brands seriously impact shareholder value, which ultimately makes branding a CEO responsibility.

An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. But what exactly does «branding» mean? How does it affect a small business like yours? Simply put, your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from your competitors›. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be and who people perceive you to be. Are you the innovative maverick in your industry? Or the experienced, reliable one? Is your product the high-cost, high-quality option, or the low-cost, high- value option? You can›t be both, and you can›t be all things to all people. Who you are should be based to some extent on who your target customers want and need you to be. The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging and promotional materials--all of which should integrate your logo--communicate your brand. 3 Branding From A to Z Chapter 1- Brand A brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes an organization or product from its rivals in the eyes of the customer.

  • Study of Branding: Challenges, Positioning & Repositioning
    G.J.C.M.P.,Vol.3(5):222-230 (September-October, 2014) ISSN: 2319 – 7285 Study of Branding: Challenges, Positioning & Repositioning Dr. Sanjay Manocha Assistant Professor, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Management & Research, A-4, Paschim Vihar, New Rohtak Road, New Delhi The battle for a share of the consumer's wallet and cut throat competition for every bit of market space has resulted in search for a powerful weapon that delivers sustainable competitive differentiation. In the beginning itself it is of great relevance to quote Philip Kotler, marketing guru about his perception on brands, "Branding is expensive and time consuming and it can make or break a product." But even then, today, branding is such a strong force that hardly anything goes unbranded. No one had thought that commodities like "Aata", & "Rice" would be branded. Today, one does not go to the shop and ask for just salt but will ask for Tata Salt or Captain Cook Salt or Annapurna Salt. These brands have become part of our daily life. Developing of an effective brand allows the organization to create a distinctive presence in the market and compete more effectively by leveraging its organizational strengths. In the current competitive market, brands are identified as an intangible asset that can be revenue generating in the long run. The brand managers are today facing the twin challenges of localization versus globalization and individualization versus homogenization. In the present paper an effort has been made to study concept of branding, its meaning, functions, branding benefits and approaches of branding. Also branding positioning, repositioning and challenges of brand management have been covered.

  • Corporate Marketing and Service Brands: Moving Beyond the Fast Moving Consumer Goods Model
    Corporate Marketing and Service brands: Moving beyond the fast moving consumer goods model By Malcolm McDonald and Leslie de Chermetony Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the issues associated with the creation and development of service brands. It initially considers the increasing importance of the services sector in modern economies and how service organisations have challenged the traditional approach to business. By analysing the success and failure of brands in the financial services sector, the paper goes on to illustrate the major challenges associated with service branding. Then the paper outlines the differences between product and service branding and how the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) approach to branding needs to be adjusted before being applied to the services sector. Particular emphasis is placed on the intangible nature of services and how problems linked to intangible offerings can be overcome. The paper then provides an analysis of the roles of employees and customers in the delivery of the service and how these roles can be strategically designed to strengthen services brands. The paper concludes with a discussion of whether corporate or individual branding is appropriate. The Importance of Brands The rise of relationship marketing as a topic of scholary research has established forever that the link between suppliers and customers is not just a physical product or service, but a relationship that encourages the elements shown in Figure 1.

  • A STUDY of UMBRELLA BRANDING STRATEGIES USED by the SELECTED COMPANIES for the PROMOTION of RELATED PRODUCTS Prof
    A STUDY OF UMBRELLA BRANDING STRATEGIES USED BY THE SELECTED COMPANIES FOR THE PROMOTION OF RELATED PRODUCTS Prof. Sandeep G. Rathod Assistant Professor, (MES Garware College of Commerce, Pune) ABSTRACT Umbrella branding is also known as family branding is one of the marketing practices involving the use of a single brand name for the sale of two or more related products or services. Umbrella branding is generally practiced by companies with positive brand equity which means a value of a brand in a certain marketplace. All products exercise the same means of naming and lack added brand names or symbols. This marketing practice is different from brand extension in that umbrella branding involves the marketing of analogous products, rather than differentiated products, under one brand name. Hence, umbrella branding may be measured as a type of brand extension. The practice of umbrella branding does not forbid a firm to implement different branding approaches for unlike product lines (e.g. brand extension). In this research paper the researcher has tried to study the impact of umbrella brand on various marketing mis strategies adopted by the company. Keywords: Umbrella Branding, Related Products, Promotion and Consumers etc. I. INTRODUCTION: Umbrella branding strategy is practiced to provide homogeny to certain product lines by assembling them under a one brand name, making them more easily identifiable and hence increasing their marketability. All products which come under the same corporate umbrella (master brand giving structure and credibility to other products of the company) are likely to have uniform quality and user experience (e.g. All products carrying the parent brand name must be of the same high quality and standards).
