in branding
what should functional values be balanced with in branding?
psychological value. If every brand has the same amount of function, it is the psyc that stands out. Black and Decker worked perfectly fine, but it was associated with homeware and not industrial work
strategic alternatives in branding in B&D case
harvest: maintain the same plan. low risk, little effort. Not profitable, allows other cos to come in
sub brand: enough distance?
new brand: B&D already owned dewalt, which had recognition among pros
4 types of branding strategy
house of brands, endorsed brands, sub-brand, branding house. Range from individual to umbrella
house of brands
Each entity has its own separate brand, there is nothing in the name that brings them together
“The Carlyle”
endorsed brands
Each entity has its own name with the umbrella brand somewhere in it
“The carlyle by Rosewood”, Courtyard mariott
sub-brand
The umbrella brand is clear, the sub-brands are smaller.
Rosewood Carlyle
Gillette Fusion, Gillette Venus
Branding house
Everything is one brand
The Rosewood
building strong brands
awareness -> associations -> relationships
need to go past recognition to have positive associations
relationships- emotional as well as behavioral connection- forms psychological contract
Ex- people hated new coke
experiential branding
promise + experience = relationship
associations
image.
ex: burberry focused on maintaining a clear image. Removed anything that did not reinforce the image.
People gave word associations like British and plaid
brand personality
goes beyond brand image to describe brand as if it were a person
5 personality dimentions in the US
sincerity (coke), excitement, competence, sophistication (chanel), ruggedness (marlboro)
the US is the only place with ruggedness. replaced with peaceful or trendy in other countries
Two products which are functionally the same could have a distinction.
Ex: Whirlpool ad features a suburban woman- sincerity
kitchenaide features fashionable career woman-sophistication
hierarchy of brand
relationships, reactions (judgement/feelings), meaning (brand attitude/personality), awareness
goes from bottom of pyramid of awareness, which is most shallow relationship to point of relationship, which is the deepest and ideal
awareness (hierarchy of brand)
consumer qs- who are you? Knowledge
brand measures- category identification, recall and recognition
ideal outcome- deep, broad brand awareness
meaning(hierarchy of brand)
consumer qs- what are you? Associations
brand measures: brand attributes- Quality, Reliability, Durability, Price
brand personality- user imagery, usage imagery
ideal outcome- point of parity, point of difference
reactions (hierarchy of brand)
consumer qs- What about you? Attitudes
brand measures: Judgments- Quality, Credibility, Consideration, Superiority
Feelings- Warmth, Fun/ Excitement, Security, Social Approval, Self-respect
Ideal outcome- strong, favorable, unique
relationship (hierarchy of brand)
consumer qs- What about you and me? Resonance
brand measures- Loyalty, Attachment, Community,
Engagement
Ideal outcome- active loyalty
key drivers of strong brand
awareness, differentiated associations, relationships
consistent experience, authenticity, intimacy
brand not made in the boardroom but…
in the minds of consumers
conscious and unconscious
reinforce associations with brands: brand name, product, packaging, sumbols, ads, etc
price ceiling
customer perception of value
price floor
product cost (usually, but sometimes lower)
price planning
- develop pricing objectives- what tirying to accomplish? Max sales, revenue, reinforce brand?
- estimate demand- as price goes up, demand goes down and vice versa, but not at same rate
- determine costs- variable, fixed, break even
- evaluation pricing environment- PEST
- choose pricing strategy (our focus)
- choose pricing tactics- execution
cost plus
determining costs and margin- simplistic
competition-based pricing
going rate- what are prices of stubstitutible offerings
price leadership- generally means low price leader in the market. Nobody is cheaper. if you see a low price, we will beat it.
con- price war, race to the bottom
skimming
charging high price for a new product. Narrow targeted marketing- skimming the top of the market
Often tech
penetrating
more basic product- spread to as many people as possible as quick as possible
trial
take a loss on initial product in hopes that customers come back. communicate value clearly and show how its a good deal. If the trial is too long people get used to the low price.
example- free-mium like spotify, where it is free for basic service and it costs for more
value-based
infuse value into price, use price to show value
EDLP- every day low price- walmart.
customer shops around to get each item at the best price, but if the store has the lowest prices, gets 100% of the purchase. Saves customer time, effort, stress, and regret that they could have gotten it at a lower price. The co gets more revenue per customer and more retention
promotional pricing- discount to bring people in.
EVC, economic value to customer
if can communicate that a product brings high value to the customer, can sell at a very high price. Does it savethe cust lots of money?
ex- iphone. says value of ipod and smartphone plus so much more. so price is ipod+smartphone at $499. more than double any other phone
dynamic pricing
type of demand-based pricing
setting prices for good or service based on demand for it at the moment based on availability of supply
ex: uber is very transparent to use surge pricing with high demand
captive/competitive pricing tactic
lose money on something knowing that the customer will go back and buy more replaceable things
ex: lose money on razor bc need to buy blades
psychological pricing tactics
price-ending- 299 instead of 300
odd/even- odd=decimal, even= full dollar price. 8.99 is closer to 8 than 9
suggests savings to end odd. suggests quality to end even.
price-quantity- people are more sensitive to change in price than change in quantity
collaborating with partners add value
If a manufacturer goes directly to consumers, it is complicated bc the manufacturer has to appeal to all groups of consumers and consumers have to shop around to the different manufacturers to find the brand/product they prefer. But if the company sells to just one intermediary/distributer/store, it delivers value bc the company sends its products to fewer places. and the customer only has to go one place where they can make their decision of what to buy
channel
path that enables products/services to flow from producers to end users
includes intermediaries- organizations/partners
functions- activites
value delivery network
company, suppliers, distributors, and customers partner to improve performance of entire system
customers are involved for example by sending their packages to an amazon locker so amazon doesnt have to worry about the last mile
transactional functions (in channel)
buying, selling, risk-taking
agents, brokers, wholesalers
logistical functions (in channel)
transporting, storing, sorting (breaking bulk) and creating assortments
distributers, wholesalers, retailers
facilitating functions
financing, payment processing, shipping, info/research, promotion, inspecting/testing, data
facilitating and logistical agents- alibaba, google, amazon, ups
marketing channels
can be simple, like producter to consumer, or producer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer
but probably more complicated, where it can go in any combo of manufacturer, distributer, wholesaler, distributer, agents/brokers, retail outlets, consumers
All at the same time. A company will sell online directly to customer, sell in its own stores, sell in department stores etc
Why are channels connected to marketing?
everything impacts the customer experience and relationships, retention, etc
density of coverage
how wide do we want our producs available? more wide is more complex and more variation in customer experience
intensive (density of coverage)
distribution through every reasonable outlet in market
high coverage, convenient for end customers, high conflict potential
ex: Coke is sold in every store, vending machine, etc that is available
selective (density of coverage)
distribution through multiple, but not all, reasonable outlets in market
resellers compete to sell the product. Less reseller loyalty. It is a weird relationship bc the reseller wants your product to get people in the door but doesnt care what brand the customer buys once they are in
Ex: nike- sold at own stores, as well as department stores and sneaker stores. but not everywhere
exclusive (density of coverage)
distributed through single wholesaling middleman and/or retailer in the market
ex: new car- it is lots of work to sell a new car so there it little competition at the point of sale
brand portfolios/coverage
A company will have a wide range brand portfolio so it can sell to different segments and also take up more of the shopping aisle. it may all looks like different things but it is all for one company. The company doesn’t want to merge to fewer brands bc that makes room for competition
Ex: P&G- many different detergents. Tide makes themost money, so they put more money into it. PUt it on the highest shelf. Era is cheaper to buy and sell so they put it on the bottom shelf. But either way you are buying P&G
Ex: mariott will put two different brands that are exactly the same at the same intersection to take up space for competition
trends and issues in channels
move toward direct to consumer mktg- Zara and uniqlo
Taking intermediaries out-but cant take out their function. Now the co needs to take care of customer service, returns, etc
Data and analytics- know who bought what, whenm how much. Empowers retailers like amazon and walmart. nobody goes to tide.com so P&G doesnt have the same data
omni channel, channel conflict
Selling through all channels to reach the most people
Nike.com, nike stores, nike in macys, nike in small stores through wholesalers
Conflict- if Nike sold in different stores in the same mall, creates competition. Nike wants to keep those distribution points to reach different customers. Whta do they do? Keep the price high at the Nike store to maintain the price point, or offer exclusive deals to footlocker
