In order to understand how consumers assess extensions and extended brands, the present work proposes and estimates a theoretical model, using the structural equation methodology. The results of the estimation indicate that the attitude towards the extension influences brand image and that this attitude is a consequence of the initial brand beliefs and the coherence of the new product. A multisample analysis also reveals that favoring the introduction of extensions through adequate advertising constitutes an efficient way of protecting brand image. © 2008 Elsevier Inc.

...College Executive summary In this work, we have tried to present the main approaches that helped to explain the brand extension evaluation mechanisms, namely the approach of perceptual congruence and group approach. Both approaches have dominated the literature on brand extension through concepts such as similarity, the fit or typicality and have been used to explain the causes of success and failure of specific extensions. However, these approaches have certain shortcomings that limit their use and that lead us to think of new research avenues for a better explanation of the evaluation of brand extension.

...operations across the country. In a short time span, the enthusiasm started failing as investments were not recovered from operations and profits were dipping. A number of factors pointed out that with amendments in Government rules and regulations, the industry could revive from their losses. Considering this, the Phase II of privatization was initiated in 2006, wherein the regulations were made more flexible and provided ample scope of growth. The general audience notion of the available radio stations is lack of differentiation in terms of content. This report gives a description of the problem regarding similar content and is a result of a market survey providing an insight in the consumer preference. Specifically, the report was an exercise conducted to validate the application of brand extension in service industry. 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am indebted to Dr. Samar Faten Badar, Faculty Member (Marketing,), for her great support and help all through the project.

Extension naming strategies include direct and indirect naming, while categorical fit is the similarity between an extended product and its parent brand’s cognitive category. Further, the interaction effect and the relative effectiveness of various combinations of the two predictors when determining brand personality transfer are also explored. Design/methodology/approach – A 2 £ 2 factorial between-subject experimental design with one covariate is used to test the proposed hypotheses. The experiment involves 242 participants from a university in Taiwan. Findings – The findings show that consumers perceive higher brand personality transfer when a direct naming strategy is applied or when the parent brand extends to a high perceived fit product....

...customer? 4 Question 3: Which concepts from the chapter explain why Porsche sold so many lower-priced models in the 1970s and 1980s? 5 Question 4 : Explain how both positive and negative attitudes toward a brand like Porsche develop. How might Porsche change consumer attitudes toward the brand? 6 Question 5: What role does the Porsche brand play in the self-concept of its buyers? 7 Conclusion: 8 Question 1 : Analyze the buyer decision process of a traditional Porsche customer. What conclusion can you draw? Buying a product goes to 5 different stages, which are: 1. Need recognition. The profile of a Porsche car buyer is a financially successful person that loves a challenge. They’re hard working people and set high goals in everything they do and often have white collar jobs. These customers separate themselves from the mass and feel attracted to exclusive sophisticated things and expect the cars that they drive in to satisfy this feeling of exclusivity. 2. Information search In information search the consumer searches about the product which would satisfy the need which has been recognized by the consumer in the stage previous to this one. In this case the product that would satisfy the need of the consumer would be a sports car. 3. Evaluation of Alternatives As Porsche buyer sees a car as transportation vehicle that’s not only for transportation but also as a vehicle that must be fun to be...

...advertising as they already have a vast and loyal customer base. Student ID: 0080379103 Student Name: Jing SUN Word count: 1639 The role of advertising in the developments of brand image and brand extension in established companies. Utilizing advertising in a most effective and efficient way is always a concern in most companies, as advertising requires a costly investment in both capital and human resources, which in return is expected to create positive outcomes. With a large volume of consumers and brand loyalties created in established, some argue that advertising can be merely a waste of money. While this idea addresses two major outcomes of conducting advertisement, attracting potential consumers and building brand loyalty, it ignores other contributions, for example, brand extension and brand image building, that could be enhanced by advertising in established companies. This essay will illustrate the reason why advertising is required in established companies, focusing on how appropriate advertising may contribute to developing brand extension and enhancing brand image. First of all, the informative function and social function of advertising will be interpreted. The following sections will demonstrate why large companies should focus on building up brand image and developing brand extension and how advertising contributes to these two dimensions. Then, the negative impact of advertising that advertisement may help to increase the competitors’ sales will be discussed...

...ABSTRACT Ingredient Branding, a subset of Co-Branding, wherein two or more brand names are used on a single product to increase product differentiation and further market share is becoming increasingly visible in the marketplace today. This strategy is generally used to enhance Brand Potential and works on the rationale that, “If a consumer understands the functions, attributes and benefits of the ingredient, he or she will pay more attention to this offering and if it is unique compared to others, it can lead to loyal and profitable customer relationships”. The goal of this Dissertation is to conceptualize Ingredient Branding Strategy and measure its effect on Brand Choice. It seeks to examine the impact of an Ingredient Branding Strategy on consumer’s attitude toward the Host Brand depending on the Partner Brand. To better understand this impact, a review of the most relevant theories on Co-Branding, perceived quality and attitude towards the brand is first presented. On the basis of this literature review, a conceptual framework is proposed concerning the overall transformation of the associations tied to the host brand, the perceived quality and the consumer attitude towards the brand. The overall evaluation of the brand is based on three parameters viz. Perceived Quality, Brand Image & Brand Attitude. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION In today’s dynamic economy, companies try to find new ways to maintain their competitive advantage, which helps them to better manage...

...on Host Brand Equity Prof. Kavita Tiwari, Dr. Rajendra Singh AICAR B-School, Navi Mumbai, India kavitat786@yahoo.com, prajsingh71@rediffmail.com Abstract The aim of the study is to discuss and estimate the perceived impact of ingredient branding on host brand in terms of brand equity. For the purpose of our study, we will measure the impact in terms of association, neutral and disassociation of ingredient brand with host brand. In this study many theories and models is studied to identify the potential factors of ingredient branding. The research methodology adopted for the analysis in our study is to some extent a replica of previous studies conducted within ingredient branding. We conducted a survey based on questionnaire method. For which a close ended structured questionnaire on 5- point Likert scale basis is being designed .The survey was conducted among 212 respondents consisting of customers in Indore city. While doing this research we have gained insights on how several aspects of our study could have been conducted differently. We recommend that a similar study should be conducted again, this time with well known host brands and ingredient brands that focus on utilitarian needs from a consumer perspective. A more representing respondent group would also increase the arguments for generalization among a wider population. By using SPSS we can conclude that the perceived impact of various factors of ingredient brands on host brand and its brand equity...

...of brand associations on consumer response A. Belen del Rõo   Facultad de Ciencias Economicas, University of Oviedo, Spain Rodolfo Vazquez  Võctor Iglesias  Facultad de Ciencias Economicas, University of Oviedo, Spain Facultad de Ciencias Economicas, University of Oviedo, Spain Keywords Brand image, Brand equity, Consumer attitudes Abstract This paper studies the dimensions of brand image, focusing on the functions or value of the brand as perceived by consumers. In this way, four categories of functions are identified: guarantee, personal identification, social identification and status. By way of hypotheses, it has been proposed that these functions have a positive influence on the consumer's willingness to recommend the brand, pay a price premium for it and accept brand extensions. The hypotheses have been tested in the Spanish sports shoes market and were partially supported. The results obtained confirm the convenience of analyzing brand associations separately and enable the ascertaining of the brand associations that are the most relevant in order to attain certain consumer responses. Introduction Over the last decade, firms have markedly increased their investments in the creation and development of brands. In fact, in most economic sectors a gradual brand generalization can be observed, even in those markets that have traditionally been more reluctant to use them (as is the case of food and agriculture or high tech product markets). A certain brand image...

...Chapter 2 The Effect of Athlete Endorsers on Consumer Purchase Decision of Teenagers for Non–Sporty Products Chua-Lao, Peterlao F. Cristobal, Michelle Ann Manlangit, Stephen John 3AMC Chapter 2 Introduction Nowadays, the utilization of celebrity-athletes on endorsements are very much common. Everyone is aware of the fact that numerous athletes are being contacted by various companies to co-present their products; whether it may be a sports or a non-sports brand product or services. But what we do not know is the concept of how much of an impact the celebrity-athlete impact gives to the audience. It is explained in this part the difference between an athlete’s endorsement on sports brand and an athlete’s endorsement on non-sports brand. It is also stated in this chapter the effects of the two, of what is being perceived by consumers and how they are going to respond based on attitude. Athlete endorsement One of the most common approaches to increase sales is the use of athlete endorsers as to continuously remind them of the product (Ruihley, 2010). According to a study, for an endorsement to be effective, the chosen athlete endorser must be amid the leading performers of his or her career and must seem to have a reliable attitude to the purchasers. (Ruihley, 2010). In a consumer’s point of view, in promotions, it is more engaging and consistent when a celebrity is being used as the endorser; as this forms brand image. (Sertoglu, 2014) But still, efficiency of...

...AMN 400 - Consumer Behaviour Assessment Item 1 - Journal Article Critique Word Count: 944 Words Introduction Thøgersen, Jørgensen & Sandager in their 2012 article Consumer Decision Making Regarding a “Green” Everyday Product” discuss consumer’s interaction with brands through the lens of product differentiation and the effects on involvement in the purchase process. The article examines the consumer behaviour of involvement and develops an understanding qualifying the differences between a high involvement interaction and a simple heuristic with respect to an everyday product. The Evaluative result is mixed: The article’s approach demonstrates a highly developed research methodology with clear and concise conclusions. However, there are assumptions made with respect to the participants and the subject matter which detract from the consistency of the article, resulting in a narrow perspective. Summary The article considers brand differentiations in a segmented market, hypothesising the heightened involvement a consumer experiences when brand presentation is geared towards an aspect that connotes emotive associations. The authors conduct observations and interviews with a set of consumers purchasing an “everyday” item from two department stores in Denmark to ascertain their purchasing attitudes and decision making processes when considering brand alternatives. the focus of this study was the engagement of consumers with environmentally sustainable or “green” products;...
