Brand Protection Activities

Brand is an important part of marketing. According to the American Marketing Association brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature which helps in identification of one seller’s good or service to rest others. Various legal developments culminated into establishing the fact that brand is trademark and the owner has various rights and privileges over it. Nonetheless, a brand can be associated with one good, a family of goods, or the entire product line from a particular seller – in this situation it is called trade name.

Not all brands are endangered; rather, few that are known or have high market visibility tend to be vulnerable. The companies that have high market penetration and established markets often come across with brand degeneration by unscrupulous elements. Brand degeneration can also happen by self-inflicted injury i.e.

the company itself is doing something that attracts bad name. Nevertheless, brand generation is difficult but brand protection is even more difficult i.e. non-authentic products sold on the name of successful brand can be harmful in two ways; the first bad name, the second, huge losses of revenue.

Almost all brands have risk and subjected to uncertainty for they are exposed to risks of counterfeit, smuggling, unauthorized production, etc. Fraudulent manufacturers or sellers can supply, distribute and sell their product using the much famed brand name. It does not only harm the brand name but also the customers who buy the product believing that it is from their trusted company. Understanding the gravity of such a practice governments have enacted various brand protection laws; however, in order to claim protection companies need to know what infringement is and how the infringers could be punished and penalized.

Companies need to have adequate controls and sound security so that no one can threaten with counterfeit infiltration, diversion and circumvention of the brand they have developed over time. There is great tendency among fraudulent manufacturers to sell counterfeit products that not only destroy well established brand equity but also harm laws and regulations that govern fair trading activities or ethical course of commerce.

One major brand management exercise that can help a company retain its brand is there should be seamless supply chain management or distribution so that there is no intrusion by a third party to sell its counterfeit products. It definitely needs persistent effort with respect to product monitoring and action against dubious similar products and their manufacturers.

International Availability Of Fanta

Fanta is a global brand of fruit-flavoured soda from the Coca-Cola Company. There are over 90 flavours worldwide; however, most of them are only available by region in some countries.

 Australia

When Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA), the local Coca-Cola bottler for Australia were branching out their Fanta brand to increase flavours, they looked at their own Kirks brand and adapted the flavours for some of their popular drinks, using them in the Fanta flavours and changing the flavouring in the Kirks products such as Creaming Soda and Pasito.

In early 2006, the Fanta brand in Australia was revised to focus solely on the growing market for orange-flavoured soft drinks. As a result, most non-orange Fanta products were discontinued and as such the current Fanta range available in Australia is:

Orange

Fanta Zero Orange (diet)

Raspberry

Orange & Passionfruit and Orange & Mango were introduced as part of this new push, but were discontinued less than a year later.

CCA in 2007 have started to repush their Kirks branded soft drinks, claiming to be of a “Classic” taste that you would remember as a kid, speculating that CCA have returned the previous flavours to the Kirks brand and signaling a non-return to flavoured Fanta.

Fanta is also available as a Raspberry flavour in Post-Mix drink fountains. as well as Frozen Coke branded Raspberry as well. Frozen Coke also has a Fanta flavour branded Blue Bubblegum but is very similar (if not the same)to the blueberry flavour from Indonesia.

International Skilled Marketing

International skilled selling was born out of the acceptance that folks around the world don’t have the same needs. Though many multinational corporations have brands that are duly recognized everywhere the globe, and have a relentless promoting mix patronized by the worldwide audience, these firms still oftentimes develop bound selling mixes created specially for a certain target audience. Such selling combine can only be fell upon by taking under consideration the regional differences of the target audiences, such as cultural and geographical differences.

International professional marketing dictates that businesses should recognize that the actual fact that there exist differences in values, customs, languages and currencies that can inevitably cause some products to be fitting solely to specific countries. They ought to act on these differences whereas keeping in mind the requirements of the global market. The potential of offshore markets except for the chances in the promoting environment at home should be analyzed with proper caution to be able to work out applicable selling mixes for every scenario.

The unfamiliarity of some locations is the biggest hindrance in the finding of relevant market info for international professional selling purposes. The potential market size, scale and reasonably competition, value, promotional differences, product differences along with barriers to trade need to be scrutinized alongside the price-effectiveness of the different sorts of obtainable transport. Both short-term and long-term goals should be taken into consideration with the level of investment needed to be able to achieve the required result of increased and ample return.

2 queries should be answered before a firm engages itself in exporting activities.

1. Is there a marketplace for the product?

2. How way will it need to be adapted for overseas markets?

The merchandise should have the required characteristics that can create it satisfactory to the market such as size, shape, style, performance and even color. As a result of a product regardless of how sensible or effective it is can be a sorry loss if there is no market to simply accept it. International professional selling helps firms verify what product is suitable for each explicit country market a firm desires to target.

Standardization

Standardization is in result when a company is selling a normal or uniform product among all of the target markets in that the said product is being offered. Low fastened costs because of the fact that the said prices are being allotted over a large amount of output are the first benefit of standardization. Different edges of standardization are increased profits and less complicated supplying processes. There are various barriers that build standardization not easy. Such barriers should be pinpointed to be in a position to determine the right changes to the promoting mix.

Common Barriers to Standardization and their Connected Product Characteristic

1. Product – tastes and habits differ between markets

2. Worth – consumers have totally different incomes

3. Place – systems of distribution vary widely

4. Promotion – Shoppers’ media habits vary, as do language skills and levels of literacy.

Differentiated selling is the other of standardization in that an organization offers totally different promoting mixes tailored to the needs of its target markets by the utilization of various overseas segments.

International professional marketing argues with standardization with the claim that successful adaptation of selling mixes that meet the stress of native markets brings the greatest and fastest success to dominance within the international market.

The firm’s view of its offshore markets and the extent of its commitment to meeting the stress, wants, and desires of its overseas consumers is the most important issue within the dilemma of having to choose a fitting standardization – differentiation promoting mix.

General Approaches to Determine Standardization-Differentiation Ratio

1. Polycentrism – the method of building subsidiaries that are decentralized from the parent company, with each having their own marketing policies and objectives which might slightly vary or totally vary from that of the parent. Each subsidiary is accountable for adapting to the market on that it is part of.

2. Ethnocentrism – views offshore operation to be virtually or totally immaterial. Plans for offshore operations are developed only at home and very little analysis on foreign markets is done. No real attention to differences in markets is being given and a regular marketing combine is comprehensively being applied.

3. Geocentrism – adaptation takes place wherever necessary and standardization happens wherever possible. Hence adaptation is only used whenever standardization is impossible.
