BRANDING
▪ Meaning and Definition
Branding is the process where a business makes itself known to the public and
differentiates itself from competitors. Branding typically includes a phrase, design or
idea that makes it easily identifiable to the public.
▪ Branding Strategy
A brand strategy defines rules and guidelines on how, what, where, when and to whom
you communicate your brand messages. A well-defined and executed brand strategy
leads to a consistent brand message, a strong emotional connection with customers,
and higher brand equity.
▪ Types of Branding
➢ Personal Branding
Personal branding describes branding that is used for an individual person, instead of
branding for a whole business. This type of branding is often used to establish a
person’s character, personality, or work as a brand.
Celebrities, politicians, thought leaders, and athletes often use this form of branding to
present the best version of themselves to the public.
➢ Product Branding
Product branding focuses on making a single product distinct and recognizable.
Symbols or designs are an essential part of product branding to help your customers
identify your product easily.
For example, Monster Energy drinks have distinct packaging and logos that make it
easily distinguishable from Red Bull energy
➢ Corporate Branding
Effective corporate brands often seek to display the company’s mission, personality,
and core values in each point of contact it has with prospective customers, current
customers, and past customers.
For example, Nike’s core values and mission are recognizable across all of their
platforms and products. Nike’s mission statement is “To bring inspiration and
innovation to every athlete in the world.” And its slogan, next to their famous swoosh
check mark logo, is “Just do it”. As a corporate brand, Nike positions themselves as a
brand for athletes, sports enthusiasts, and anyone who is passionate about fitness.
➢ Service Branding
Service branding leverages the needs of the customer. Companies that use service
branding seek to provide their customers with world-class service. They aim to
use excellent customer service as a way to provide value to their customers.
For example, Chick-fil-A is known for its excellent customer service – making it now
synonymous with its brand.
➢ Co-branding
Co-branding is a form of branding that connects
companies together. Essentially, co-branding is
a marketing partnership between two or more
businesses. This helps brands impact each other
positively, and it may result in one growing its
business, spreading brand awareness, and
breaking into new markets.
➢ Online Branding
Online branding, also known as internet branding, helps businesses to position
themselves as a part of the online marketplace. This type of branding includes a
company’s website, social media platforms, blogs, and other online content.
➢ No-Brand Branding
This type of branding is also known as minimalist branding. These brands are often
generic brands that seek to let their products speak for themselves without all
the extras many others provide their consumers with.
i. Helps in Advertising and Display Programs: A brand aids a firm in its promotion
and display programs. Without a brand name, the promoter can only generate
consciousness for the general product and can never be sure of the sale for his
product.
ii. Differential Pricing: Branding enables a firm to accusation dissimilar charge for
its products than that charged by its competitors. This is feasible because if
consumers like a brand and become customary of it, they do not mind paying a
little higher for it.
iv. Branding Instils Confidence in Your Company: A good and effective Branding
leads to gaining a client’s confidence in the Business. This motivates your team to
maintain the efforts put in to achieve this Brand recognition. It leads to increased
customer loyalty and business growth, which is one of the most
important advantages of Branding.
ii. Shopping becomes easier: It makes shopping easier for the buyer. Suppose you
want to buy toothpaste and do not remember any brands. You go to a supermarket and
come across only generic products. This will make it difficult for you to decide which
one to buy. In another situation, you have a long list of products to buy and you go to a
supermarket where branded products are sold. You remember the brand you want to
buy for each product. It takes you a few minutes only to find your preferred brands in a
large supermarket. So, shopping has been made convenient and easier by branding.
iii. Helps in Choosing: Calling the attention of buyers to a new product that might
benefit them is easier because of branding. The brand also acts as the base upon
which the entire story regarding the special qualities of the product can be built. It
becomes easier for the buyers seeking those special qualities to find their desired
product.
iv. Brands Give Customers a Sense of Identity: Brands add to a person’s identity,
they allow people to express themselves. Think of someone who identifies as an
outdoorsy adventurer, this individual will most likely choose a Mountain
Equipment Co-op product – a company who has branded themselves as the go-to
store for all your outdoor needs.
vi. Higher Innovation and diverse products: Branding has led to higher innovation
and the availability of more variety and choices for consumers. Branding
incentivizes innovation since producers look for new features that can be
protected against imitation by competing brands.

-LEVELS OF PACKAGING
There are three levels of packaging i.e., Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary.
PRIMARY PACKAGING
Primary packaging is the packaging that comes in direct contact with the product
itself. A cereal box would not be considered primary packaging, but the bag inside the
box would, since it is the part that holds the contents of the box
The main job of primary packaging is to protect and preserve the product inside.
Primary packaging is often referred to as retail packaging, although this term is
sometimes used to describe secondary packaging as well.
SECONDARY PACKAGING
Secondary packaging is generally used to group a certain number of products
together into a cohesive unit that is easy to identify. The SKU, or Stock Keeping Unit,
makes it easy for vendors to identify the movement of stock as well as inventory.
Secondary packaging makes it possible to group products so that they can be more
easily tracked. Smaller shipments of products are often shipped using secondary
packaging.
The packaging itself can be made up of several individual pieces including:
• The box itself
• Interior padding
• Product separators
• Reinforcement to prevent crushing or denting the box
• And so, on
For most people, secondary packaging is what comes to mind when they think about
packaging. Sometimes, primary, and secondary packaging can overlap. For
example, retail stores often receive shipments of a newly-released movie in a box that
doubles as a display stand. The box serves as secondary packaging to protect the item,
but it also serves as retail packaging to catch the consumer’s eye, even though the DVD
case itself is how the movie is delivered to the consumer.
-TERTIARY PACKAGING
Tertiary packaging is often known as bulk packaging or transit packaging. It is
used to transport larger numbers of goods safely and securely to their destination.
This kind of packaging makes it easy to handle, store and ship goods as single, self-
contained units. Oftentimes, tertiary packaging consists of several cardboard boxes
huddled together with stretch-wrap to prevent the packaging from being jostled and
bumped around in transit.
Consumers generally do not see tertiary packaging, since it is often used just to add
another layer of protection to the secondary packaging and also to group larger
shipments together for storage and easy retrieval of SKUs.
FUNCTIONS OF PACKAGING
• Good packaging is very important as it will attract the buyers towards the
product.
• It also enhances the appeal of the product before even opening to check what is
inside.
• It will leave a good impression on the user and will make him curious to see
inside the packaging.
• It will also give the buyer a good deal of idea of what is packed inside. It is
important for a client to have an adequate idea of what is kept.
• In the modern world, all the promotion of brands is done adequately by using
good packaging.

itself in the absence of advertisements.
• With the right designing, a product can become an ambassador of
advertisement for the brand.

easier for the buyer to know about what is inside and what is not.

loading very easy.
• Therefore, it is vital for the company to make a packaging that will ensure that
the product is handled the way the company intends for it to be carried.

FUNCTIONS OF PACKAGING
KINDS OF PACKAGING:
➢ Paper and Carton Packaging
➢ Film Packaging
➢ Foam Packaging
➢ Textile Packaging
➢ Plastic Boxes and Containers
Paper can be used to laminate other materials in order to make them stronger. There
is also anticorrosive paper that can be used to wrap goods or to laminate other
materials.
Film Packaging
There are multiple types of films used in the packaging industry, most commonly
polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyolefin and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films. The
films usually come on a roll and are used to wrap goods, cover goods, protect boxes
and make other packaging products (such as bags, tubes, bubble wrap and sheets).
Films can be used for lamination, printed, or perforated. They can be anticorrosive,
antistatic, shrinkable, or nonshrinkable, and slippery or nonslippery.
Foam Packaging
Foam used for packaging can be produced on a roll or in sheets of different
thicknesses. The foam is used to wrap goods or make bags (usually laminated with
high-density PE), corners, edges, and custom systems. The corners and edges are used
to protect flat glass, furniture, and sharp edges.
Foam can be cut and modeled on the product’s shape to fix and protect it. It can be
antistatic and has good insulation properties.
Textile Packaging
There are some goods that are best protected by textiles. For example, there are
custom-made textile insertions used in the automotive industry to protect car parts
during transportation. The textile insert is put on a metal frame that fits into a metal container.
There is also textile material used for box covers.
Plastic Boxes and Containers
Multiple types of plastic boxes and containers are used in all industries. For example, in
the food industry there are plastic containers for goods like ketchup, yogurt, milk and
juices. Plastic boxes are mainly used for transporting goods and are reusable.
➢ DISADVANTAGES
• Cost money to make
• Takes a while to be made which might slow down the production of the product as
a whole
• Might accidently offend certain ethnic groups if used offensive symbols or designs

LABELLING
A company’s label needs to adhere to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
According to The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), packaged and processed food
items must have nutritional labelling. The Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC) states
that cheating of labels and graphics is an offence and comprise unjust competition.
FUNCTIONS OF LABELLING:
1. Defines the product and its contents: A label is informative about the
product’s usage and caution to be taken while using the product. Example, Red
Label Natural Care tea mentions five ingredients in its label that provide
immunity.
2. Recognition of product: Labeling assists in the identification of the product.
Labelling is also significant as it fetches customers’ attention to purchase the
product because of visual appeal. It promotes the sale of the product as it can
make or break the sale of a product. Example, the brand name of a chocolate
will help one choose from the rest of the confectionery items available.
3. Assorting of products: It means classification or grading of products according
to different categories in the market. Example, shampoos are categorized as
dry hair, normal hair and oily hair types and cater to consumers in the market
with the dry, normal and oily scalp, respectively.
4. Assists promotion of products: It gives the customer the reason to purchase
the product. Example, it attracts the attention of the consumer by displaying
messages such as ‘20% free’ or ‘save rupees 15’ message in potato chips
packet.
5. In compliance with the law: Labels should strictly abide by the law. Example,
for tobacco, the label should mention “Tobacco is injurious to health’. Cigarettes
also should have ‘Smoking is injurious to health’ as the statutory warning on its
package.
Types of labelling:
Brand label
Grade level
Descriptive level
KINDS OF LABELS:
BRAND LABEL
GRADE LABEL
DESCRIPTIVE LABEL
INFORMATIVE LABEL
Provides description
Label is a medium that communicates the information regarding the
product to customers. It is basically a slip that contains detail like nature,
quality, price, quantity etc. Customers can easily get each & every required
information by simply reading labels. It will help them in making their
decision during the buying process fast & easily.
Customers just by reading the labels of different products can choose the
best one as per their choice. It enables the customers in understanding &
checking product even before using it
Many times, the people are encouraged to buy a product just by seeing the
labels of the product. Businesses should try to design attractive & small
labels for their products. It will create a long-lasting influence on your
customers.
For example, Mother Dairy supplies different quality of milk in the market
like full cream, half cream & toned milk. It provides all details on labels of
their product package
They can get all the details regarding the manufacturing date & date of
expiry from labels. It helps in assuring the customers whether the product
is right or not. Making the wrong choice during the buying process will have
ill effects on customers. Therefore, it avoids all chances of wrong
decisions during the buying process.
There are certain poisonous & hazardous products, with which providing
safety tips & certain warning is very important to be mentioned. Likewise in
the case of different tobacco products giving health warning is important.
All these requirements of the law are fulfilled by business by printing labels
with all these details.
Disadvantages of Labelling:
Raise the cost of Product:
The first and foremost limitation of labelling process for every organization
is that it leads to increase the cost of product. Process of labelling requires
heavy expenses in designing and printing of label slip to be attached to
with every product. Company generally provides three types of labels with
their items that are brand label, grade label and descriptive label. All these
eventually raises the manufacturing cost of product for business which
increase its price.
Could get complicated/Not suitable for illiterate people:
Reading labels could get complicated especially for the layman who would
not understand complicated terms, this would then get hard to
understand/follow. A person should know to read and write for benefiting
form products labels otherwise all efforts of company would go in vain.

DOVE
67%
CINTHOL
Dove has been preferred more maybe because it’s very well
known due to the extensive advertising done by them, that has
earned them their name. Dove also smartly earns the crowd’s
trust by invoking sentiments in their advertisements, so their
labelling of “Real Love” is also systematically inclined with their
advertisements. Thus, becoming a crowd favourite.
Perhaps one could say it’s also because it’s more available in
stores/markets and their advertisements are also more
informative/elaborative.
SURVEY 2
From this project I have learnt that all the 3 elements, Branding, Labelling
and Packaging has a huge influence on a consumer’s purchasing
decision. Branding is important for being in business as iy determines
your success. Packaging is important because it adds to the product
value. Finally, labelling to keep the consumer aware while making his
decisions.
