Study Notes

Choosing Brand Elements to Build Brand Equity

Brand knowledge structures depend on initial brand element choices and the supporting marketing program.
Other brand associations are indirectly transferred by linking to other entities.

Criteria for Choosing Brand Elements

Memorability: Brand elements should be memorable and attention-grabbing to facilitate recall and recognition. (e.g., Blue Rhino propane cylinders)
Meaningfulness: Brand elements should convey information about the product category and brand attributes/benefits. This is important for brand awareness, image, and positioning.
Likability: Brand elements should be aesthetically appealing to customers. Descriptive and persuasive elements can reduce the burden on marketing communication.
Transferability: Brand elements should be useful across different product lines/categories and geographical markets.
Adaptability: Brand elements should be adaptable to evolving consumer values/opinions. logos and characters can be updated to maintain relevance.
Protectability: Brand elements should be legally protectable internationally. This involves trademark registration and defending against infringement.

Tactics for Brand Elements

Brand names, URLs, logos/symbols, characters, slogans, and packaging.

Brand Names

Brand names should consider memorability, meaningfulness, likability, transferability, adaptability, and protectability.

Brand Naming Guidelines

Brand names should be simple, pronounceable, familiar, meaningful, differentiated, and unique.
Brand names should reinforce important brand attributes/benefits to enhance brand positioning.

Brand Naming Procedures

Define objectives.
Generate brand names.
Screen initial candidates.
Study candidate names.
Research final candidates.

URLs

URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) are web page locations, often called domain names.
Companies can sue current URL owners, buy the name from them, or register variations for protection.

Logos and Symbols

Logos play a critical role in brand equity and awareness.
Logos range from corporate names or trademarks to entirely abstract designs.

Characters

Brand characters are a specific type of brand symbol.
Characters can be real-life representations, like Pillsbury Doughboy, or entirely fictional, like Tony the Tiger or Ronald McDonald.

Slogans

Slogans are short phrases that communicate descriptive or persuasive information about the brand.
Slogans are important for establishing brand equity.

Jingles

Jingles are musical messages composed around the brand.
Jingles can become permanently registered in consumers' minds, increasing brand awareness.

Packaging

Packaging must identify the brand, convey descriptive/persuasive information, aid in product transportation/protection, assist with at-home storage, and boost product consumption.
Packaging can affect consumer perception of taste, and packaging quality can affect valuation of the product.
Studies show that consumers purchase more of a product when container size is increased.

The totality of brand elements constructs the brand identity.
Consistent brand elements lead to a cohesive brand identity, impacting brand awareness and image positively.
