A BRAND IS A
PERSON’S GUT FEELING
ABOUT A PRODUCT,
SERVICE,
OR ORGANIZATION.
5. • BRAND is a "Name, term, design,
symbol, or a combination of them
,intended to identify the goods and
services of one seller or group of sellers
and differentiate from competitors.
6. A Brand is said to be a failure
when
its presence in the market
leads to
• The withdrawal of the product/brand from the
market for any reason
• The inability of a product/brand to realize the
required market share to sustain its presence
in the market
• The ultimate failure of a product to achieve
profitability.

• Incorrectly priced too high or too low
7. Why Focus On Failure ?

drawing on some of the largest branding
blunders of all time.

suggest that failure is inevitable, their
example has helped to identify the key
danger areas.
8. BENEFIT

from success
9. Why brand fails ?
• A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away,
products were responsible for the fate of a
company. When a company noticed that its
sales were flagging, it would come to one
conclusion: its product was starting to fail.
Now things have changed.
• Companies don’t blame the product, they
blame the brand. It isn’t the physical item
sitting on the shop shelf at fault, but rather
what that item represents, what it conjures up
in the buyer’s mind.
• This shift in thinking, from product-blame to
10. • Branding is simply a more efficient way to sell
things.’
• Although this is true, this new focus means that
perfectly good products can fail as a result of bad
branding.
• So while branding raises the rewards, it also
heightens the risks
11. • Something happens to break the bond between the customer and
the brand
• This is not always the fault of the company, as some things really are
beyond their immediate control (global recession, technological
advances, international disasters etc).
• This altered view is a result of one of the following seven deadly sins
of branding
13. BRAND AMNESIA
• For old brands, as for old people, memory
becomes an increasing issue.
• Forgets what it actually brand stands for…?
• Long standing brand want to replace with new
radical identity, Coca-cola tries to replace with
new coke ,results are disastrous
• When a business forgets its identity, disregards
past learnings, and fails to learn new information
… it has contracted BRAND AMNESIA.
15. BRAND MEGALOMANIA
• Brand ego leads to brand megalomania
• Brand want to take over the world by expanding into
every product category
16. Brand deception
• Some brands see the whole
marketing process as an act of cover
up the reality of their product.
• In extreme cases, the trend towards
brand fiction can lead to downright
lies
17. Brand fatigue
• Some companies get bored with their
own brands.
• You can see this happening to products
which have been on the shelves for many
years, collecting dust.
• When brand fatigue sets in creativity
suffers, and so do sales.
18. Br a n d p a r a n o i a
• This is the opposite of brand ego and is
most likely to occur when a brand faces
increased competition.
• Typical symptoms include: a tendency to
file lawsuits against rival companies, a
willingness to reinvent the brand every six
months, and a longing to imitate
competitors
19. Brand irrelevance
• When a market radically evolves, the brands associated with it
risk becoming irrelevant and obsolete.
• Brand managers must strive to maintain relevance by staying
ahead of the category
