Brands provide value by creating trust and loyalty between consumers and companies. Strong brands can command premium prices due to their perceived reliability and quality. Building a brand takes time, money, and patience as it involves understanding consumer needs, developing the right product attributes, effective marketing communications, and ensuring quality delivery over the long term. Measuring both short and long term impacts of marketing activities is important for maintaining and growing brand equity.

10. Brand Equity
The First Part – An Idea
The Building of a Brand
Like an Architect, the Marketing Manager must be able to
visualise whether there is a consumer need for a particular
product and only when he is able to pinpoint this particular
need, he can proceed further in terms of satisfying that
need
11. Brand Equity
The Building of a Brand
The Second Part – Inputs
Like construction of a building, he must have certain
ingredients to build up the brand which will satisfy the need
eg. the physical properties, positioning, looks, price and
so on
12. The Third Part – A Process

introduction of the brand, creativity in terms of projecting
the brand to the consumer and ensuring adequate quality
control to deliver the promised performance

13. Brand Equity
This process is a continuous one
A brand is built brick–by–brick, not only does it take time, but
importantly – it takes money and patience. Unfortunately, most of
our aspiring industrialists are only traders ; they want to see profit
almost immediately.
Very rarely does a brand become profitable before the first three
introductory years are over. e.g. Nirma, Titan, etc.

14. The Role of Brands
• A distinguishing name and / or symbol (such as a logo,
trademark, or package design) intended to identify the goods or
services of one seller or a group of sellers, and competitors
• It signals to the customer the source of the product, and protects
both the customer and the producer from competitors
• The value of an established brand lies in the fact that it is more
difficult to build brands today than it was only a few decades ago
First, the cost of advertising and distribution is much higher,
second, proliferating number of brands
15. A Series of Indicators
Brand – Building Neglect
• Disability of managers to identify the brand associations and the
strength of those associations
• Lack of knowledge in the levels of brand awareness
• Non–availability of systematic, reliable, sensitive, and valid
measure of customer satisfaction and loyalty
• No indicators of the brand tied to long–term success of the
business that are used to evaluate the brand’s marketing effort
16. Brand – Building Neglect
• Absence of people in the firm who are really charged with
protecting the brand equity
• Short term performance measures for the personnel associated
with the brand
• No mechanism to measure and evaluate the impact of elements of
the marketing program upon the brand
• No long – term strategy for the brand
A Series of Indicators
17. Sales Promotion
• Sales Promotions are effective – they affect sales in an
immediate and measurable way
During a week in which a promotion is run, dramatic sales
increases are observed for many product classes : 443% for
fruit drinks, 194% for frozen dinners, and 122% for laundry
detergents
• Promotions provide a way to keep a third - or - fourth -
ranking brand on the shelf
18. Sales Promotion
• When a promotion / price–cutting cycle begins it is most
difficult to stop because both the customer and the trade
become used to it and begin planning their purchases
around the promotion cycle
The inevitable result is a great increase in the role of price
• Promotions look even better with respect to short–term
impact
19. • The enhanced role of promotions is in part driven by
measurement. With the advent of the scanner–based databases in
food and drug stores, the short–term measures of some
marketing actions are better than ever. They show that price
promotions affect sales
• There are no easy, defensible ways to measure the long–term
effects of marketing actions, and hence short–term measures
have added influence
eg. The situation is a bit like that of the drunk who looks for car
keys under a street light because the light is better than where the
keys were actually lost.

21. The Ivory Story
• In December, 1881, P&G ran their first Ivory ad, stating that
the soap “floated” and that it was “99 44 / 100% pure ,”
• It has become one of the most famous ad slogans ever
• The “aggressive” 1882 national advertising budget of
$11,000 provided a start toward high brand awareness, and
customer confidence
• The key to the success of P&G is its commitment to the
development of brand equity
