SOME NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF BRANDING

Cost If you wish to create and maintain a strong brand presence, it can involve a lot of design and marketing costs. Impersonal One of the main problems with many branded businesses is that they lose their personal image. Fixed Image Every brand has a certain image to potential customers, and part of that image is about what products or services you sell. Timescale The process of creating a brand will usually take a long period of time. As well as creating a brand and updating your signs and equipment you need to expose it to your potential customers.

The Functional Dimension Airtel says, "Your world of communication just got simpler." Even the simplest of the consumer can use the products and services. The Social Dimension Airtel is a recognized brand to be associated with. It is associated with high level of social value. The Spiritual Dimension "Building telecom, building relationships." Airtel encourages everyone to be more involved in building relationships and spread the happiness. The Mental Dimension Airtel gives me the opportunity to "Express Myself."

WAY OF BRANDING A PRODUCT

SUMMARY
Branding is a promise made to the customer that will deliver values beyond expectation. 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. Effective branding promotes loyalty to your business and your products and service. When creating a brand, you must be careful not to lose the image of personal service. Every branding must show the correct image that you want your customers to see.
