Introduction India is the fastest growing free market democracy

in the world. India has the largest knowledge workforce in the world and with more and more people moving to the higher income strata,

India is a market that the world cannot ignore. The opening up of the Indian economy has given a level playing field for foreign brands against Indian brands.

Several multinational companies have begun to focus their attention on Indian markets. Global brands are threatening the existence of several Indian brands. These brands have strong presence in the minds of the customers globally and have performed consistently for a long time.

What Is Brand?

Are you sure you know? We’re continually amazed at how many people simply

answer, “a company’s name” or “a corporate logo.” Let me show you how branding can be understood—as easy as pie.

Just like we know people by their names, we know hundreds of brands by name. But, like people too, the more you know about a brand, the more it seems to have its own individual personality.

But while we know people by their names, we don’t say they “are” their names. Here’s where we get to what branding really is. Branding is the sum total of a company’s identity—from its name and logo to every piece of communication, internal or external—to every encounter every customer or potential customer has with it.

Concept of Brand Brand is the personality that identifies a

product, service or company (name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or combination of them) and how it relates to key constituencies: customers, staff, partners, investors etc.

Some people distinguish the psychological aspect, brand associations like thoughts, feelings, perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and so on that become linked to the brand, of a brand from the experiential aspect.

Branding -a different perspective Branding can be rational or irrational. Customers buy brand

not only for the intrinsic values associated with it but also because the brand has surprised them in the past with newer and more novel experiences. Branding is a promise made to the customer that will deliver values beyond expectation. Branding strategy hence should also involve continuously communicating to the customer of the novel experiences that he/she has had with the brand.

Elements of Brand Brand elements Brands are communicated through various elements[8]: Name: The word or words used to identify the company, product, service,

concept Logo: The visual trademark that identifies the brand Tagline or Catchphrase: "The Quicker Picker Upper" is associated with Bounty;

"Can you hear me now" is an important part of the Verizon brand. Shapes: The distinctive shape of the Coca-Cola bottle or the Volkswagen Beetle

are trademarked elements of those brands. Graphics: The dynamic ribbon is also a trademarked part of Coca-Cola's brand. Colour: Owens-Corning is the only brand of fibreglass insulation that can be

pink. Sounds: A unique tune or set of notes can "denote" a brand: NBC's chimes are

one of the most famous examples. Movement: Lamborghini has trademarked the upward motion of its car doors. Smells: Scents, such as the rose-jasmine-musk of Chanel No. 5 is trademarked. Taste: KFC has trademarked its special recipe of 11 herbs and spices for fried

chicken   

Global brand and Local brand Global brand --A global brand is one which is perceived

to reflect the same set of values around the world. Global brands transcend their origins and create strong enduring relationships with consumers across countries and cultures. They are brands sold in international markets. Examples of global brands include Facebook, Apple, Pepsi, McDonald's, Mastercard, Gap, Sony and Nike. These brands are used to sell the same product across multiple markets and could be considered successful to the extent that the associated products are easily recognizable by the diverse set of consumers.

Local brand --A brand that is sold and marketed (distributed and promoted) in a relatively small and restricted geographical area. A local brand is a brand that can be found in only one country or region. It may be called a regional brand if the area encompasses more than one metropolitan market. It may also be a brand that is developed for a specific national market, however an interesting thing about local brand is that the local branding is more often done by consumers than by the producers. Examples of local brands are Bajaj motorcycles, Britania , cadbury

Benefits of Global Brand Economies of scale (production and distribution) Lower marketing costs Laying the groundwork for future extensions worldwide Maintaining consistent brand imagery Quicker identification and integration of innovations

(discovered worldwide) Preempting international competitors from entering

domestic markets or locking you out of other geographic markets

Increasing international media reach (especially with the explosion of the Internet) is an enabler

Increases in international business and tourism are also enablers

Benefits of Local Brand

Local brand offers greater selection and higher equility

Scope for expansion Meeting the local needs of the

people and tastes Strong community ties Cultural identity Local operational or logistical

advantages

Five reasons local brands have the home-field advantageFew brands establish dominating positions in multiple countries. Moreover, we've observed that brands that are distributed across multiple countries tend to have weaker overall relationships with consumers than brands that stick close to home.

The chart above is based on an analysis of over 10,000 brands measured as part of BrandZ™. The data suggests that brands that compete in more countries tend to have weaker "Bonding" scores overall. For most brands, much of their strength and equity comes from their original home markets. This should not be surprising because few of today's global brands were originally designed to travel. Most of them originated long before the imperative to go global took hold. We can hypothesize that as a strong brand moves from its country of origin.

Brand strategy As I see it, a company’s brand strategy describes how

the brand intends to create customers and advance them beyond the reach of competitors.

Specifically, it sets forth the creative, social and moral steps that the brand will take to create the customers that will drive the business forward.

A brand strategy will position customers as a key part of the company’s competitive edge—and keep moving that edge. The customer wins through progressively added value, and the company wins through customers who won’t settle for second best.

In brand strategy we don’t focus on “positioning the brand.” We focus on positioning the customer—to win. In other words, the brand wins through the customer.
