Simple question. Most of the readers here definitely knows what a brand is. I believe it is something due to which value is added to the product in the customer’s perception. It is for this so called “Brand” that he is willing to pay a premium from his own pocket !!! An awesome powerful tool really ! A marketeer’s boon!!
But is everything really great about having a brand and is worth the cost ? Did I hear yes? I again disagree ( one of these days I hope I will agree with you ! I really want to !)
Logic says, having a Brand is like having a goldmine. Yes it is to some extent specially when dealing with the upper segments of the pyramid. Your company spends millions of dollars to build brands say A and B. It is hugely successful as well ! you are a hit !
No. Because it is important to let people know that you have a great product. But instead of spending millions on promoting a brand, try to spend a part of that on delivering it as promised. Your market will be created then because when I will buy a good product , I will tell others that you have a good product which in turn will build a great brand. Quality and marketing always work as brothers in arms.Brands like Volkswagen or Levis became brands only because they delivered quality product as company.
Bottom line : Build quality ! It pays !!
Food for thought : How many millions are you willing to spend for promoting your brand? And do you invest similarly in innovation and quality?

The beginning of modern banking can be traced to 14th Century during the Renaissance period. I do not think anyone would have imagined in those days that in future one will have automated […]
