Research conducted by MORI, amongst 187 senior board directors of the UK's leading companies, concluded that '94% agree that the asset which offers the greatest protection during an economic downturn is a strong brand'.

Risk - potential customers, staff and shareholders are more risk averse during a recession. Strong brand mitigates risk in the mind of the stakeholder. Value - Company value is more likely to remain buoyant in an economic downturn when it is supported by a strong and profitable brand. Don’t be ...

Dear all, Some important steps for brand management during recession... Companies should take a good long critical look at their portfolio. Determine what is excess or even damaging to stronger brands and banish it. Use resources to shore up stronger brands. In times like these, we will see customers we don't normally see. People who don't normally shop may come and we want everyone to return. Be passionate about your consumers. Brand owners should provide a strong differentiation from other brands and deliver 100% on its brand promise. Slash prices to a minimal but don't compromise on quality. Consumers may make due for now, but will inevitably trade up the minute they're able. Give brand ...

The luxury brands command vey high premium or margin, does not get much affected by recession grows with time ( albeit at very low rate) but the segment being very low ( in numbers) the overall gain is still very minuscule.

The National Sample Survey Organization(NSSO) discovered in its survey that almost half the country's farmers would abandon farming if they could find another occupation. If the FARMER does not grow food what will we eat ??? It is not like understanding Rocket Science to realize that we need to make Agriculture work if we as a Nation are to get anywhere. What can we do ? Indian farmer is always in a vicious cycle..What belongs to the farmers,should be rightly given to them..I mean compensation..no middlemen is required between the farmer n consumer..they should get a good price for whatever they are growing. Example : The small cotton roll that u buy in the pharmacy costs u around 40-50 bucks..and it weighs around a 100 gms..the gin buys cotton from the farmer at rates like 300 or 400 rupees for around 40 kgs (measured in maunds actually..not very sure about the conversion)just imagine the difference..nobody is looting us for this..we are actually looting the farmer.for this we...
