optima etc) Levis (27 different cuts custom fit 31-19%) Crest 38 SKUs 36% market share, today over 50
SKUs 25% market share only The power of a brand is not the sales generated
by the brand (competition) Overzealous brand names Vaseline intensive care
suntan lotion Gillette clear gel antiperspirant

Contraction of a brand becomes stronger when younarrow its focus:
Starbucks corp. : a coffee shop that specializes in coffee
Toys 'R' Us : 20% of toys in US (specialty store or categorykiller) Babies 'R' US, Kids 'R' US
Narrow the focus: contracting the category not expandingit
Stock in depth: 10,000 toys versus 3,000 toys indepartment store
Buy cheap: makes money buying
Dominate the category
Microsoft 95% desktop computer operating systems
Intel 80% microprocessors
Coca-Cola 70% of cola NOKIA (paper, chemicals, rubber products, electronics,
machinery, computers, mobile phones)

Shift from publicity to advertising
Should leaders advertise?
Heinz Americas favorite ketchup
Budweiser, king of beers
Coca-cola the real thing
Visa, its everywhere you want to be
Almost every ad makes some type of betterproduct claim.
What happens when you say our product is theleader?
Advertising is a powerful tool not to build abrand or leadership but to maintain leadership

Mercedes-Benz: prestige Volvo: safety BMW: fun to drive Own a category word
Kleenex is tissue Make me a Xerox copy hand me the Scotch tape Fed Ex in the delivery business (Emery Air Freight leader),
CEO narrowed its focus overnight only: Fed Ex the generic
term for overnight delivery Branding a prestige product or service: Make it more expensive than competition Find a core word for prestige Mercedes 'Engineered like no other car in the world'

Customers disbelieve most product claims Coca-cola: the real thing Credentials will make prospects believe almost anything Leadership is the most direct way to establish
credentials Polaroid leader in instant photography but it couldnt be
stretched to conventional 35mm film against Kodak Many companies run branding programs devoid of
credentials:
Tastes great, saves money, whitens teeth Find credentials that can be exploited or create
credentials by inventing a product category The leading Mexican beer The leading ice beer

Does quality keep time better than Swatch? Does coca-cola taste better than Pepsi? There is no correlation between success in the
market place and comparative testing For a powerful brand build a powerful perception of
quality in the minds of consumers Contraction, name, price Conventional wisdom: marketing a high quality
product at a comparable price: QUALITY STRATEGY Deliberately start at a higher price then find what
you can put in the brand to justify it Rolex made watches bigger and heavier Montblanc made pens fatter

90% of all new products in the US are lineextensions (Bud dry, light, ice)
Manufacturer approach: the volume is going
nowhere, lets increase brands to increasesale
Light, clear, healthy, fat-free line extensionsmean?

When you broaden a brand you weaken it
Coca-cola & Pepsi-cola
Choice stimulates demand,
competition makes customers more conscious,
increases the noise level, tends to increase sales in the category
For each category,
Two major brands (Kodak-Fuji, Nintendo-PlayStation)
Similar businesses located close together (PlanetHollywood Hard Rock Caf)
Market shares higher than 50% consider launchingmultiple brands not line extensions
Coca cola 50%, Fed Ex 45% of domestic market

Herb, Natures Secret, Natures Way)

Take a regular word and use it out of context toconnote the primary attribute of the brand
Blockbuster video
Intelligent Chip Company Intel Corp.(Intelligent Chip Inside Intel Inside)

Company dominates: Microsoft MicrosoftWord
Brand dominates: Tide P &G

Brand names should take precedence overcompany names
Best branding strategy to use the companyname as a brand name (GE, Coca-cola, IBM)Cola itself is Coca-Cola the real thing, Whatis 'New Coke'
Microsoft part is redundant: Microsoft Excel- Excel

Holiday Inn wanted to get into the upscalehotel segment
Invent a sub brand:
Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Everybody thought it was too expensive for a
Holiday Inn

A second brand strategy is not for everycompany
General Motors: Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick,Cadillac
Let the brands fight among themselves
Each division broadened the scope of itsbrand, leading to brand confusion
Sibling strategy required top managementsupervision
Toyota Lexus (common product area, rigiddistinctions price, different not similarbrand names)

Horizontal shape provides maximum impactfor the logo
Legibility: typeface does not express an
attribute of the brand. Rolex?, Rolls-Royce?
The trademark is often overrated.
Its the Nike name that gives meaning to the
Swoosh symbol There are only a handful of simple symbols
that make effective trademarks (Mercedesstar)

Cola is a reddish-brown liquid, so it is one ofthe reasons Coca-cola picked red.
Pepsi picked red for the cola and blue to
differentiate. Poor choice.
The lack of a unique differentiating colormakes Pepsi invisible in the sea of Coca-cola
red. Pepsi cola is going blue

its country of origin

Tanqueray gin / Absolut & Stolichnaya high

introduce convertible sports cars, dilutesafety message
Limit the brand. It has to stand for something simple and
narrow in the mind.

Changing occurs in the mind of consumer
If the brand is weak or non existent in themind, change.

When Coca-Cola was first introduced into theChinese market, Chinese characters selectedsounded like Coca-Cola but actually meant, 'bitethe wax tadpole.'
In Russian, 'enjoy' was changed to 'drink,'
because 'enjoy' has a particular sensualconnotation, in that language, that doesnt applyto soft drinks.

Several years ago, Mitsubishi planned tointroduce its popular European SUV, the'Pajero,' in North and South America
Although the word 'pajero' carries nonegative connotations in the CastilianSpanish spoken in parts of Europe, in LatinAmerican slang the term has a seriouslyderogatory sexual meaning
The vehicle was renamed and released in theAmericas as the 'Montero' averting apotential global branding disaster
