Revival of a dead
brand
e.g. Ford Taurus
![Page 10: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Taurus, which was one of Ford’s top selling models in the United States faced brand decline due to intense competition from Honda Accord and Toyota Camry
![Page 11: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Taurus, which was one of Ford’s top selling models in the United States faced brand decline due to intense competition from Honda Accord and Toyota Camry
Ford pulled the plug on it in 2006 and soon reintroduced the Taurus brand
![Page 12: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Taurus, which was one of Ford’s top selling models in the United States faced brand decline due to intense competition from Honda Accord and Toyota Camry
Ford pulled the plug on it in 2006 and soon reintroduced the Taurus brand
This move worked because Ford still had a lot of brand equity in the United States over foreign brands like Toyota and Honda

Brand
Death
e.g. GM’s Oldsmobile
![Page 14: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
General Motors’ iconic Oldsmobile which was known for its innovative design stopped production in 2004
![Page 15: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
General Motors’ iconic Oldsmobile which was known for its innovative design stopped production in 2004
There were two primary reasons for this.
First, Oldsmobile was perceived as an “old brand”. Even with new marketing efforts firm was unable to shake its staid positioning.
Second, as GM strived for uniformity across its brands Oldsmobile lost its identity as an innovator
![Page 16: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Causes of Brand
Decline
![Page 17: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Causes of Brand
Decline
To understand why brands decline we must look at brand evolution theories
![Page 18: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sales are used to predict life cycle, which in turn are used to predict sales
![Page 19: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sales are used to predict life cycle, which in turn are used to predict sales
When sales decline management decides that a brand no longer needs investment and begins to milk the
brand
![Page 20: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Product Evolution Cycle
According to PEC the evolution (and decline) of brands depends on three forces
Generative (Managerial actions)
Selective (Environmental factors)
Mediative (Competitor's actions)
![Page 21: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Managerial
Actions
Leads to brand decline when
management makes excuses rather than acting with integrity
![Page 22: A brand is forever](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042717/55cfd2bfbb61ebda558b4582/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

In most cases even declining brands have
significant brand equity
With proper diagnosis,
strategy and execution, a brand can be
revived

For brands that are suffering from
low awareness or negative image,
death may be a better option

Reviving a brand is a long term initiative
The revitalization can be kick started by
addressing the cause of decline
