Pooch Pantry- Unit IV - Brand Elements, Positioning and Strategic Group
Brand Elements
The branding of the product will play an important role in the marketing and sale of the Pooch Pantry. A brand may be defined as the creation of a recognizable image that can be recognized and help to differentiate one product range or firm from its competition (Doyle, 1990). Aaker & Lane (1990) state that a brand may be perceived as a mental box, in which there are a set of assets or liabilities associated with a particular brand. This is a useful approach towards the consideration of branding, as it is noted that the mental box will be impacted by a wide range of elements, including the purposeful brand elements, such as name, brand text, the symbols that are used, colors and intangible associations (Aaker Lane, 1990). However, it also indicates there is the potential for negative associations, which may subtract value from the brand, which may be gained unintentionally through the way the branding is designed, or from externalities that become associated with the brand.
The tangible brand elements will include the name, which is "Which Pantry," which may be easily identified with a new unique stylized text, which makes it easily recognizable. The value of a unique font has been seen with many other brands, for example is possible to recognize the Coca-Cola brand, or the McDonald's brand, when it is observed in other languages, simply from the text which is used (Kotler & Keller, 2011). The text will be recognizable due to the use of a bright color, and a scripted home style text, similar to the text which may be expected on a home cookbook. The text will be in a yellow/gold color; this will help you to stand out against...
The color itself will be designed to be unique in terms of other brands on the marketplace. The brand logo will be in image that will engender positive sections, with an animated friendly brown dog, standing up looking lovingly at an owner. This would be a relatively small image, shown by the side of the brand name. The brand text, color and logo will all be copyrighted.
The branding will be supported by the wording and the images on the box. The tagline underneath the brand will read "feeding your dog with love." The image on the packaging will show the device and the way that it is able to see the animal. On the back there will be a very simplified set of pictures, using the dog from the logo, demonstrating how the device is used. These are not designed before instructions, but demonstrate the ease-of-use of the product.
The brand will be designed so that it can be adapted in the future for the creation of a similar product for cats, were the same text will be used, the logo may be changed slightly with the image of the, and the tagline will become "feeding your With love."
The image of the brand will be repeated in all of the marketing, to increase exposure. Dev (2008) has argued that a firm is able to create a unique and memorable brand image, they will facilitate identification of that brand when they are in the shop, reduce the potential information search if it is taking place in the store, and support the purchase decision.
Positioning
The positioning of the product will reflect its use. Therefore, it will be targeting the upper to middle mass-market. The product pricing will be at a premium level, but as it has been…

Branding A new entrant in the financial services industry will want to have a strong brand. In this industry, branding is absolutely critical for several reasons. First, many of the firms that are currently in that market have brands that go back 100 years or more and are essentially household names. It can be difficult to counter that brand power. Second, financial services businesses need to engender trust in their market.
Brand Equity Measurement Consumer perceptions extensively influence and manipulate their purchasing behavior.

Branding and Communication There has been significant criticism leveled against the branding practices of companies, and most particularly those of multinationals, which have been raised. Drawing on the academic literature this work will identify the primary arguments used in these critiques and will critically examine those arguments and discuss their implications for branding in the age of globalization. This study will further answer the question of how branding has changed under
Companies that have invested in defending their brand and managing the customer experience outside of their website have seen great returns. Within the travel industry, for example, companies such as InterContinental Hotels Group and Royal Caribbean Cruises have both extended their reach to manage the customer experience on partner sites with a very high degree of success. In each instance, their efforts have resulted in an improvement in the
Brand Relationships "Having a Relationship" with a Brand Establishing and maintaining a "relationship" with a brand is a complex concept that often is taken for granted. Much of the complexity arises out of the fact that goods are inanimate objects and do not fall under the traditional notion of a subject of a relationship since the good or product can interact with an individual with human-like qualities. However, at the same time,
Then soon other players came such as Pepsi who also tried to penetrate the market. With the introduction of Pepsi into the market, the market share was divided, sales volume for both commodities went low and the prices also lowered. The product life cycle of some of these products may go far beyond the expected limit, and this is attributed to the brand equity they have. Use of Interactive television
