TITLE : THE IMPACT OF REBRANDING ON CONSUMER

PERCEPTION TOWARDS CONSUMER DURABLE GOODS

( WITH

REFERENCE TO VIDEOCON)

PROBLEM STATEMENT :Consumer perception theory is any attempt to understand how a consumers
perception of a product or service influence or service their behavior. The study of
consumer perception helps to understand why consumers make decisions they do,
and how to influence these decisions.
Rebranding is the creation of name, term , symbol, design, or a combination of
them for an established brand with the intention of developing a differentiated
(new) position in the mind of stakeholders and competitors.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Kaikati and Kaikati [17] has highlighted six

strategic options for implementing a rebranding campaign. Marketers can select

one of the following six strategic options or a combination:
Phase-in/phase-out strategy;
Combined branding strategy via one umbrella brand;
Translucent warning strategy;
Sudden eradication strategy;
Counter-takeover strategy;

Duncan [20] also has highlighted that there are many reasons to rebrand. The need
for rebranding must first be determined and should be based on the premise that
something has changed in the business mix that dictates a need for evolving the
brand.
To keep up with the times and keep pace with changing consumer needs (e.g.
services, accessibility, convenience, choice, fashion and technology).
Because a brand has become old-fashioned and is in danger of stagnation or is
already in a state of erosion.
Due to fierce competition or a fast-changing environment.
As a means of blocking or outmaneuvering competitors, or a way of handling
increased price competitiveness.
