     move factories to Asia.

        Celebrity Endorsement
          "What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No.5, of course."


 Using well-known and admired people : Consumers judge based on
  the knowledge about the celebrities.
   - Advantage : easier to draw attention to a brand.
   - Potential problems
      • when celebrity endorse too many products....
      • when the celebrity’s image and brand image doesn’t match….
      • when people think the celebrities endorse just for the money
   - Strategic evaluation / selection of celebrity required



                           Ways of leveraging
Celebrity Endorsement

 Example
December 11, 2008 02:10:41 GMT
“Chris Brown's "Got Milk?" print ad has hit the
Internet…”
 February 11, 2009 02:49:48 GMT
 “Having his "Got Milk?" ad campaign coming
 to an end this week, Chris Brown will no
 longer be used as the celebrity face of the
 project.”
 “The dropping of Chris Brown by several
 companies, which products he endorses, adds
 fuel to the existing speculation that his felony
 battery case can ruin not only his reputation,
 but also his career. Still, there have yet
 comments issued by the star himself or his
 people.”

Tourism Systems:
       Networks Vs. Channels
 Networks
   The notion of ‘community’
     1. Commonality: members share an intrinsic connection
        to one another.
     2. Values: they have shared rituals and traditions
     3. Moral responsibility: they share a sense of moral
        responsibility.
   Network theory supports the development of the the
   tourism industry as an extended community.

Extension of the tourism brand to

               Branding the essential tourism service

             pull to the destination
 Tourists interact with these attributes, and it
 characterizes their tourism experiences and
 defines the qualities of services of experiences.

2. Branding the essential tourism service

 Intangibles allows a company, region, or country
 to provide unique service delivery. Branding the
 services facilitating the attraction the second level
 of brand extension.




                             Article: Gnoth (2002)
3. Brand extension to supporting infrastructure,
       non-tourism, and export industries
  Food grown in the country
  Technological products (e.g. skis)
  Socio-political infrastructure (reputational capital)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  Strategies to select important attributes are
    important.




                                      Article: Gnoth (2002)
4. All other products and services (producers or those
product brands would like to leverage country brand image)

    There are also brands which are strong enough
    on their own and don’t need a country brand’s
    help derived from tourism.
       example:




          “While there may be brand connections from tourism to
           these brands, the process is not always reversible.”


                                   Article: Gnoth (2002)
The emergence and role of a country
           as a brand
  Again, network is important!
    When tourists experience cohesive attributes within a
    contiguous network throughout the country, new
    information is interpreted in a way that has been
    organized through past destination (country) brand
    experiences.




                               Article: Gnoth (2002)
Gnoth (2002) : Discussion
 Isn’t is necessary in some cases that export brands
 need to be disjoined from tourism destination brand?
 Some researchers argue that three levels of
 experiences (functional, experiential, and symbolic
 level) are not accumulative while others don’t. What
 do you think?
 Isn’t it possible that “unifying” the brand image limits
 the scope of destination images and eventually
 narrows down the target market?
 “While there may be brand connections from tourism
 to corporate brands, the process is not always
 reversible.” What do you think of this statement?


                               Article: Gnoth (2002)
Review


Conclusion
 Gnoth (2002)
    Managing tourism systems as network + managing brand
     attributes are important.
 Keller, Ch. 7
    Customers expect that there are same attributes between
     the source factors and the brand. Consequently, marketers
     can borrow the brand equity from these source to enhance
     their own brand equity.
    8 ways to leverage secondary associations : 1) the company
     2) the country or other geographic location 3) other channel
     members that sell the product 4) other brands such as
     ingredient brands 5) licensed characters 6) endorsers 7)
     events 8) third-party sources
    Risks exist : Marketers have to sacrifice control.
