Risk: danger of “over-stretching”
Brand extension
‘Stretching or extending [a] brand into business areas that are
not related to the business in which the brand originated to
create advantage in those areas.’ (Schultz et al. 2005)
Vertical vs. horizontal Brand
Extension
vertical brand extension
= markets that are above or below the brand’s
current position
horizontal brand extension
= within product category (line extension) or across
product categories (sub brands)
Effects must be considered both ways – on both the
original and the new product/service
Clear understanding of the brand identity essential
How can successful brand extension be
measured?
‘The more a brand covers different categories, the more it stretches and
weakens, losing its force like an elastic band.’ (Kapferer 1992)
Dilution of the original brand
Forming of subcultures counterculture
