Good Afternoon Everyone we welcome you all to this forum. Yesterday we had a talk on Branding on our what's app group page with Mr.Aribigbola Lanre-the Lead designer at HUEBE design company, as the speaker below are the details of the talk
He started by asking a question ;[7:43PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: Coca Cola Vs Pepsi
which of these brands sounds more appealing to you.
[7:44PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: more
[7:44PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: contributions
[7:46PM, 7/21/2017] Bro Busayo: I will go with coca cola
[7:48PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: why you choose coca cola is because of their brand, the relationship they have been able to make with their customers
[7:48PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: Branding is an effort to give a unique identity to the company’s products and create emotional associations with consumers.
It is a form of marketing.
A brand is a set of associations that are linked to a product range, a division, or company.
These associations reside in the memory of customers.
These associations help customers understand
what the brand or company is,
why it is potentially relevant to them,
how it is different or similar to other products made by the company,
and how it is similar or different from competitor’s products.
[7:49PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: Branding is a combined effort of the company which is projected to the consumer.
[7:49PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: In 'blind' taste tests, people prefer the taste of Pepsi over the taste of Coke. However, if the test is not 'blind' and the tasters know which beverage is which, they prefer the taste of Coke over Pepsi! That is the emotional power of a brand. The Coca-Cola brand has the power to actually change an individual's taste!
[7:50PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: Coca-cola is the no.1 brand in the world.
The first shape that was registered is the coca cola bottle.
[7:51PM, 7/21/2017] Godwithus: Hmm
[7:52PM, 7/21/2017] Bro Busayo: ✍🏽
[7:52PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: you might be wondering why branding?
[7:53PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: (1) Products and services have become so alike that they fail to distinguish themselves by their quality, efficacy, reliability, assurance and care. Brands add emotion and trust to these products and services, thus providing clues that simplify consumers’ choice.
(2) These added emotions and trust help create a relationship between brands and consumers, which ensures consumers’ loyalty to the brands.
(3) Brands create aspirational lifestyles based on these consumer relationships. Associating oneself with a brand transfers these lifestyles onto consumers.
(4) The branded lifestyles extol values over and above the brands’ product or service category that allow the brands to be extended into other product and service categories. Thus saving companies the trouble and costs of developing new brands, while entering new lucrative markets.
(5) The combination of emotions, relationships, lifestyles and values allows brand owners to charge a price premium for their products and services, which otherwise are barely distinguishable from generics.
[7:54PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: A brand is a promise. A promise to achieve certain results, deliver a certain experience, or act in a certain way. A promise that is conveyed by everything people see, hear, touch, taste or smell about your business.
[7:55PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: A brand has to give a unique identity from each medium.
The product
The packaging
Website graphics
Etc should have a single visual language.
[7:55PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: take for instance MTN
[7:56PM, 7/21/2017] Godwithus: Ok👌🏼
[7:56PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: Some time a ago i had a issues with my MTN sim
[7:56PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: so call their customer care
[7:58PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: the Next thing i heard was *YELLO!*
[7:59PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: their brand colour is
*yellow.*
[7:59PM, 7/21/2017] Nester Lanre: That's branding.
