NOT AT ALL . THE LOGO SHOULD BE SAME ON NATIONAL LEVEL THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR THE COMPNAY . I DON'T NO IF THERE IS ANY MONITRY BENIFIT BEHIND THIS.

Logos must be defined keeping in mind addressing various cultural issues. A classic brand campagin was by HSBC where in they mentioned the various effects of symbols and colour red and how HSBC as a brand was addressing this cultural difference....

Logos ? certainly not ! It will just breed confusion and engage more resources of an organisation to maintain these individual identities. I feel the right positiong and message will do the job better.

Brand loyality would be rrelated to the product type i.e its usage- for cars, appliances which people use for longer period and have an overall experience of utility, safety economy etc, in such instances probably some incentives can get the...

I believe brand loyalty can be bought in some ways. A 5$ /250/- off coupon will encourage many people to go for Pizza place B even though they prefer place A over B usually. Continuing to give such offers/promotions to end consumers does bring...
Denis Somoso  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  3 years ago
The issue for brand loyalty is an intangible asset for brand owners… why? Because a person would be loyal to the brand only if he satisfied the quality and price of the product they bought. Because of it, an intangible asset of the brand owner...

 Business strategy must comes first
DEVRANJAN DASH  |  Argues in support of  "Business strategy must comes first "  |  3 years ago
A business strategy is the 1st step as it is the macro level planning in terms of Identfying the need, want and Demand of the clients be it B2B or B2C scenario. This is followed by undestanding the customer segment to which one can cater to hence...

Brand cannot/should not be viewed as an isolated element,but a key component of the business model.Business and brand strategy are two sides of the same coin.If two are seen as different things then the business plan will suffer since it does not...
Makrand Bhave  |  Argues in support of  "Business strategy must comes first "  |  3 years ago

Companies make major branding mistakes, some real doozies. One company wanted to tout itself as the most innovative, even though it spent zero dollars on research and development. Another acquired a well-respected competitor and then immediately changed its name, leaving millions of dollars worth of good will on the table. Those are obvious offenses. Many other companies make all-too-common--subtle yet avoidable--mistakes that sap the value right out of their brands. Here are five I would caution against. Mistake No. 1: Equating branding with communications. Yes, branding includes communications. But if your branding strategy is all about messaging and advertising and nothing about business...
Makrand Bhave  |  Commented  |  3 years ago
Fantastic! Nail in the head... These are really some basic mistakes that anyone would do to resurrect a brand or even when you start up. For me the most avoidable are mistake Nos. 2,3 & 5. You might still be able to do away with overpromising with...
James Masih  |  Commented  |  3 years ago
Yes indeed all the points are exactly showcasing the real mistakes that happen in the industry today...overpromising is what most of them do...and price changes are really bad......thanks for sharing

Jayant Vishnu  |  Argues in support of  "Direct response marketing"  |  3 years ago
In my view Small enterprises cannot compete with the big brands and neither are they equipped to wait for years to build their brands. Therefore, direct response marketing is the perfect solution. It is better to emphasize direct response...

T V MANIPRASAD  |  Added idea  "advertisements can play havoc!!!make sure the logo, in form, colour and minute details are maintained in all advertisements, "  |  3 years ago
often the agencies tend to make changes in colour etc of the logo, this is not advisable
Dayanand Deshpande  |  Added idea  "Focusing Too Much on the Technology"  |  3 years ago
Websites are not technology - integrating them with CRM or ERP systems are very technical issues and should be treated as such. But building a website is a function of marketing. In today's world, a website is a marketing tool - whether it be a...

No 1: India Since 1991, when economic liberalization unshackled India from the slow rate of growth and threw its doors open to the global economy, India has never looked back. The Knight Frank report assumes that India will shake off its current crop of social, political and economic issues and go on to the top of the heap.
