Det lilla modevarumärkets möjligheter på internet- Ur ett brand management perspektiv / The Small Fashion Brand’s Possibilities on the Internet : A brand management perspectiveOLSSON, LAILA January 2011 (has links)
Internets framkomst medför nya utmaningar för företags kommunikation ochvarumärkesbyggande på grund av den höga informationstillgängligheten. Transparensen påinternet innebär att företag inte har i samma kontroll av sin kommunikation, utankonsumenterna har större makt och således påverkar hur ett företags varumärke uppfattas avkonsumenter. Digitaliseringen medför dock även möjligheter för små modevarumärken medbegränsade resurser att aktivt arbeta med sin marknadskommunikation och att bygga sinavarumärken genom sina hemsidor och facebook. Studien syftar till att ge förståelse för hurunga och små modevarumärken använder sig av internet för att bygga upp sitt varumärke ochvilka möjligheter internet förser för företagen i sitt varumärkesbyggande. Studien har enkvalitativ approach där en semistrukturerad observationsstudie genomförts på tremodeföretag, därtill har två semistrukturerade intervjuer gjorts med 2 av företagen. Denteoretiska referensramen består av teorier kring den varumärkesbyggande processen urmärkesinnehavarens perspektiv samt forskning kring online branding.Studiens resultat bekräftar att modevarumärken inte arbetar efter tydliga mål eller strategierkring sitt varumärkesbyggande, vilket beror på begränsade resurser vad gäller tid, personaloch ekonomi. Varumärkenas användning av internet har möjliggjort för varumärkena att fåstörre varumärkeskännedom globalt, vilket även öppnat nya möjligheter för företagen. Deverktyg som används på internet är företagens hemsidor, facebook och bloggar. De olikaverktygen bidrar till att sprida och bygga varumärkena. Företagens hemsidor avspeglarvarumärken genom att kommunicera dess värden och identitet med hjälp av text, bilder ochvideoklipp. Samarbeten med inlyftelserika modebloggar, särskilt internationellamodebloggare, möjliggör för varumärken att få en högre varumärkeskännedom samt attvarumärkesbudskapet sprids till potentiella kunder. Samarbetet resulterar i att modebloggarnablir aktiva varumärkesambassadörer. Användningen av facebook gör det möjligt för företagenatt kommunicera med sina kunder i realtid och bygga relationer med dem. Dessutom kanfacebook vara ett bra verktyg för företagen att kunna förstå sin kund bättre, då företagen hartillgång till sina anhängares profiler.The rise of the Internet results in new challenges and possibilities for companies’ marketingand brand building activities as a result of the high availability of information. Thetransparency on the Internet means that companies no longer have the same control of theirbrand communication, instead the power has shifted towards the consumers. This means thatconsumers play a role in the forming of a brand and how it is perceived. For small fashioncompanies with limited resources the Internet provide suitable tools, like facebook, web pagesand blogs, to spread their brand. The high visibility and the spread of information on theInternet can benefit small brands to achieve higher brand knowledge on a global scale.This study has an qualitative approach and aims to create an understanding of how smallfashion companies are using the Internet as a branding tool as well as mapping thepossibilities with the tools used. Three semi structured observation studies were conducted onthe companies’ websites and facebook. In addition, two semi-structured interviews werecarried out at two of the companies. The theoretical framework consists of traditional theorieson brand building and brands, as well as recent research about online branding.The result implies that the companies do not have a clear and defined plan of their brandbuilding activities on the Internet, which presumably depend upon the lack of recourses interms of staff, economy and time. The brands’ usage of the Internet enables a higher visibilityof the brands on a global level. The tools used on the Internet are company websites,facebook and collaboration with fashion bloggers. The different tools contribute in spreadingand building the fashion brands. The company websites mirror the fashion brands bycommunicating its values and identity through images, text and short videos. Collaborationwith influential fashion bloggers, especially with international ones, makes it possible for thebrand to get a higher brand knowledge as well as the brand’s message is being spread topotential consumers. As a result of the collaboration, the fashion bloggers becomesambassadors of the brand. The use of facebook makes it possible for the brands tocommunicate in real time with consumers and to build relationships with them. Facebook alsomakes it possible for the brands to understand their consumers better by being able to viewtheir “followers” profiles. / Program: Textilekonomutbildningen

Previous issue date: 2016-05-21 / As marcas têm se tornado ativos intangíveis mais valiosos que os ativos tangíveis em grandes e pequenas empresas, porém há ainda incertezas quando às diretrizes para gestão de marcas em diversos setores. Este trabalho identifica na literatura científica os requisitos e fundamentos específicos para gestão de marcas. Após consolidados os requisitos em 22 diretrizes, foi investigado, através de uma pesquisa survey aplicada a 134 especialistas em gestão de marca no Brasil, o nível de importância de cada diretriz e as variações de acordo com o setor de atuação. O resultado aponta um conjunto de seis diretrizes gerais para gestão tridimensional de marcas: quanto à profundidade, realizar pesquisa; quanto à extensão, gerir a marca internamente, realizar inovação e usar o rebranding para evitar envelhecimento; e quanto ao alcance, posicionar marca com honestidade e coerente com a cultura da empresa. Além disso, por meio de Teste Qui-Quadrado e Teste Exato de Fisher, foi investigada uma possível dependência entre diretrizes e as áreas de atuação das empresas (B2B, B2C ou governo e terceiro setor). Ao adotar um nível de significância de 5%, os resultados apontam que empresas B2B e B2C devem coordenar todos os pontos de contato da marca com o cliente e que o terceiro setor deve vincular a marca com seu país de origem. / Brands have become intangible assets that are more valuable than tangible ones in either small or large businesses, but there are still uncertainties on which are the ideal guidelines for brand management in various industries. This work identified in the scientific literature the specific requirements and grounds for brand management. The requirements were consolidated into 22 guidelines, and a survey was applied to 134 experts in brand management in Brazil to investigate the level of importance given by them to each guideline and the possible variations according to the market sector. The analysis of the results showed a set of six general guidelines for a three-dimensional brand management: conducting research to manage brand depth; brand positioning with honesty and brand consistency with the culture of the company to manage brand width; internal brand management, conducting innovation and using the rebranding to prevent brand aging to manage brand length. It is also recommended that B2B and B2C brands coordinate all their contact points with the consumer and that the government and nonprofit sector link their brands with the country of origin.

Positioning as a Strategic Marketing Planning Tool / Positioning jako strategický nástroj plánování firmyLhotáková, Markéta January 2001 (has links)
Positioning is an important tool of marketing planning and brand building on the market. Positionig is a streategy that helps marketers to differentiate the brand from those of competition and creaete unique brand perception in minds of target consumers. In a proces of positioning development four core elements must be defined and analyzed -- target consumer, unique consumer benefit which brand offeres to the target consumer, brand and its brand equity and competitors from whom we want to differentiate the brand. In my dissertation I address both, theoretical attitudes toward positioning and its definition, as well as practical application of theoretical conclusions in case study from corporate practice

Kreiranje brenda organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda u Republici Srbiji / Creating a brand of organic agricultural-food products in the Republic of SerbiaŠojić Sanja 12 September 2017 (has links)
<p>Osnovni cilj istraživanja jeste da se izgradi brend koji će organski proizvod pojedinog proizvođača da razlikuje od proizvoda drugih proizvođača, stavljajući akcenat na njegovu prepoznatljivost, diferenciranost i lakšu identifikaciju kao i na učvršćivanje veza i razvijanje partnerskih odnosa sa potrošačima. Brend je postao izuzetno značajan deo marketinga uz pomoć kojeg se kreira vrednost za potrošače na tržištu i otuda i potreba da se njime upravlja. Pored navedenog, cilj istraživanja jeste da istraži stavove i mišljenja ispitanika o organskim poljoprivredno-prehrambenim proizvodima i njihovim brendovima. Za dobijanje podataka o stavovima i mišljenjima ispitanika primenjen je metod ispitivanja pomoću anketnog upitnika. Tržište organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda je u ekspanziji u svetu i potrošači pokazuju značajnu rastuću lojalnost. Sa razvojem tržišta ovih proizvoda i u cilju boljeg nastupa na tržištu proizvođačima nameće se potreba kreiranja i razvoja brenda koji će omogućiti lojalnost potrošača, sigurniji i bolji plasman i veći profit. Organska poljoprivredno-prehrambena proizvodnja ima trend rasta i sve značajniju ulogu u razvoju sektora poljoprivredne i prehrambene industrije u Republici Srbiji. Organska poljoprivreda jeste delatnost kroz koju Srbija može i treba da stvori svoj proizvod, odnosno kasnije brend koji će biti konkurentan i prepoznatljiv na svetskom tržištu sa pozitivnim imidžom kod potrošača. Potrebno je da proizvođači razvijaju brend kako bi uspešno nastupili kako na domaćem tako i na međunarodnom tržištu. Prilikom brendiranja organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda i njihovom plasiranju na tržištu neophodno je poznavati potrošače, njihove specifičnosti, navike i ponašanje kako bi se ostvario tržišni uspeh. Organski poljoprivredno-prehrambeni proizvodi ne ispunjavaju samo svoju funkcionalnu vrednost odnosno za ishranu, oni govore o njihovim proizvođačima ali i potro<br />šačima, njihovom načinu života, kulturnim karakteristikama, verovanjima i vrednostima. Potrošači postaju ekološki svesniji,više je izražena briga za zdravlje. U Republici Srbiji povećava se interesovanje za organske poljoprivredno-prehrambene proizvode. Briga za zdravlje u velikoj meri determiniše odluku o izdvajanju više sredstava za kupovinu i konzumiranje organske hrane. Cena i visina dohotka ispitanika predstavljaju osnovne limitirajuće činioce tražnje organskih poljoprivrednoprehrambenih proizvoda. Niska kupovna moć stanovništva otežava potrošačima da ionako visoke izdatke za ishranu uvećaju kupovinom skupljih organskih proizvoda. Koncept brenda sve više dobija na značaju zbog prednosti koje donosi, kako za organskog proizvođača kojima omogućava sigurniji plasman i veće premijske cene, tako i potrošačima kojima olakšava izbor, skraćuje vreme kupovine i pruža veću sigurnost u kvalitet organskih proizvoda. Proizvođači organske hrane treba da marketinškim aktivnostima od robne marke naprave brend čime će imati konkurentsku prednost na tržištu. Na taj način stvara se lojalnost potrošača i povećava prodaja a samim tim ostvaruju se i bolji finansijski rezultati. Vrednost brenda organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda usko je povezana sa lojalnošću potrošača organskih proizvoda. Lojalnost potrošača pretpostavka je stabilnog nivoa proizvodnje i prodaje organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda. Brendiranje u užem smislu uključuje odluke povezane sa izborom elemenata identiteta tj. stvaranje imena, logoa, dizajna. U širem smislu obuhvata čitav niz strategija i postupaka kojima se definišu zajednički i specifični elementi i njihovo uklapanje u postojeći portfolio organskog proizvoda sa ciljem da se brend izdvoji ne samo vizuelno već i u svesti potrošača. Snaga brenda zasniva se na imidžu brenda i locirana je u svesti potrošača. Imidž brenda organskih poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda je način na koji je brend percipiran od strane potrošača. Postojanje jakih, povoljno ocenjenih asocijacija koje su jedinstvene za brend i impliciranje superiornosti preko brenda su kritične a često puta i odlučujuće za uspeh brenda. Kreiranjem pozitivnog imidža brendova organskih proizvoda proizvođači stvaraju pozitivnu sliku ili percepciju kod potrošača što vodi njihovom favorizovanju u procesu kupovine i potrošnje.</p> / <p>The main objective of this study is to build a brand that will differentiate organic products of an individual producer from products of other producers, with an emphasis on their recognizability, differentiation and easy identification, as well as on establishing and maintaining strong relations and partnership with consumers. Brand has become an extremely significant segment of marketing which contributes to creating value for consumers in the market; hence the need to be managed. Besides this, research goal is to explore the respondents′ attitudes and opinions about organic agricultural-foodstuff products and their brands. The research method used to obtain the data on the respondents′attitudes and opinions was a questionnaire. The market for organic agricultural products is expanding worldwide and the consumers of organic products are showing significant increasing loyalty. With the development of the market for organic products and in order to improve performance on the market by producers of organic agricultural products, there arises the need to create and develop a brand that will enable consumer loyalty, a safer and better placement, as well as bigger profits. The organic agricultural-food production is on the rise and is getting a more significant role in the development of agricultural and food industry in the Republic of Serbia. Organic farming is the activity through which Serbia can and should create its own product, i.e. brand that will be competitive and recognizable in the world market, having a positive image among consumers. It is necessary for producers to develop the brand in order to have a successful appearance both on the domestic and international market. When branding and marketing organic agricultural-food products, it is<br />necessary to be familiar with consumers, their specific characteristics, habits and behavior, all in order to achieve success in the market. Not only do organic agricultural-food products have their functional, i.e. nutritional value, they also say much about their producers, but also about their consumers, their lifestyle, cultural characteristics, beliefs and values. Consumers are becoming more and more environmentally aware, whereas health concerns are more expressed. Interest in organic agricultural-foodstuff products in the Republic of Serbia is increasing. The decision on the allocation of more funds for purchase and consumption of organic food is largely determined by health concerns. The price of organic food and the respondents′ level of income are the main limiting factors affecting the demand for organic agricultural-foodstuff products. Due to low purchasing power of the population, it is difficult for consumers to increase already high food expenditures by purchasing organic products, which are even more expensive. The concept of brand is gaining importance because of the benefits it brings, both for organic farmers whom it provides secure product marketing and higher premium rates, and for consumers whom it provides easier selection, shortens the purchase time and secures greater confidence in the quality of organic products. Organic farmers should use marketing activities to transform their trademark into a brand, which will provide them with a competitive advantage in the market. In this way, consumer loyalty is created and sales increase, leading to better financial results. The brand equity of organic agricultural products is closely linked to loyalty of the consumers of organic agricultural products. Consumer loyalty is essential for he stable level of production and sale of organic agricultural products. In narrow sense, branding includes decisions related to the selection of identity elements, i.e. creating the name, logo, design. In a broader sense, it includes a whole range of policies and procedures used to define common and specific components and their integration into the existing portfolio of an organic product in order to make the brand distinctive, not only visually, but also in the consumers’ minds. The strength of a brand lies in its image and resides in the consumers′ consciousness. The image enjoyed by a brand of organic food products is the manner in which the brand is perceived by consumers. Having powerful, favourably evaluated associations uniquely identifiable with the brand and subtle implications of its superiority are of the essence and very often decisive for the brand′s success. The creation of a positive image for a brand of organic food products instils a positive impression or perception in consumers resulting in preference for these products, both for the purpose of purchasing and consumption.</p>

Three essays on brand equityZhu, JianJun 01 July 2009 (has links)
This three-essay thesis focuses on how value of the brand, i.e. brand equity is created, with each study investigating different parts of the relationships within the brand value chain.
My first essay identifies and tests a new set of brand equity drivers such as brand structure and positioning, brand strategy, and customer characteristics. I use revenue premium as the retail level measure of brand equity and decompose it into price and volume premiums. Then, I explore the effects of different brand equity drivers on these premiums. The study on the universe of grocery industry in the U.S. shows compelling evidences that volume premium prevails over price premium in driving revenue premium. Brand structure and positioning, brand strategy and customer characteristics contribute significantly to the changes of the brand market performance measured with price, volume and revenue premiums.
My second essay examines the association between consumer-based brand equity (IBBE) and brand market performance, and the moderators of this association. I explore a comprehensive set of market performance measures (penetration, loyalty, market share, price and revenue) of 216 major brands sold in the grocery channel in the U.S., in conjunction with EquiTrend© brand equity measure. The results show that customer based brand equity provides incremental explanatory power for brand market performance beyond the explanation by a wide array of performance determinants identified in the first essay. Furthermore, the equity-performance association is moderated by a set of product and category features, as well as the firm brand strategy.
My third essay studies whether firms benefit from having multiple brands across different areas. I model brand market performance as a function of different elements of the firm brand portfolio, including the size and performance of sibling brands and the inter-brand distance. The dataset includes 1,700 brands from over 350 firms in the grocery channel within the U.S. The results show that the brand portfolio information provides incremental explanatory power for brand market performance. Moreover, the size and the performance of sibling brands have significant impact on a focal brand's market performance, and these impacts are moderated by the inter-brand distance.

Employer Branding : Ett gränsöverskridande varumärkesarbete / Employer Branding : A crossthinking strategy in BrandingAxelsson, Åsa, Granstig, Anna January 2004 (has links)
<p>Bakgrund: Denna uppsats handlar om hur företag ska kunna attrahera framtida kompetens med en ny varumärkesstrategi. ”Employer Branding” är namnet på denna strategi och beskrivs av konsulter som ett medel för företag att via en genomtänkt varumärkesstrategi profilera företaget på kompetensmarknaden. Grunderna i en Employer Branding-strategi innefattar följande aspekter: att kunna attrahera och behålla den bästa kompetensen samt att ena företaget kring sin vision och kultur. Vi har i denna uppsats undersökt och definierat vad en Employer Branding-strategi innebär och hur begreppet kan ställas i relation till existerande teorier. Vidare har vi genom intervjuer på Ericsson, VolvoCars och SAS utrett vilka krav en Employer Brandingstrategi ställer på företaget och dess varumärkeshantering. </p><p>Syfte: Att definiera och teoretiskt relatera Employer Branding till varumärkesforskning, samt analysera vilka krav Employer Branding ställerpå företags varumärkeshantering. </p><p>Genomförande: Vi har valt att genomföra en empirisk studie där erhållna kunskaper grundats på information från intervjuer i och observationer av verkligheten. I vår förstudie sökte vi information i syfte att definiera vad Employer Branding är (del 1, kap 1-5). Studien har till stor del varit ur ett marknadsperspektiv och av explorativ art då "fenomenet" är relativt okänt. Vi valde att först intervjua konsulter som var kunniga inom Employer Branding, för att kunna göra en empirisk begreppsbildning. Utifrån denna nya kunskap samlade vi in befintliga teorier som vi ansåg kunna sättas i relation till Employer Branding. För att förstå vilka krav som Employer Branding ställer på varumärkeshanteringen på företag har vi valt att intervjua tre stora svenska arbetsgivare utifrån två perspektiv på företagen, utifrån Human Resource- och utifrån varumärkes/marknadsföringsperspektiv. Uppsatsen har därmed två empiriska målsättningar. Till begreppsbildningen, del 1 var huvudsyftet att definiera vad Employer Branding är och i uppsatsens andra del (kapitel 6-8) att undersöka vilka krav Employer Branding ställer på företags varumärkeshantering. </p><p>Resultat: Employer Branding är en marknadsföringsstrategi som beskriver hur företaget kan profileras som arbetsgivare mot arbetsmarknaden, för att skapa en tydlig arbetsgivarimage. Detta i syfte att skapa konkurrensfördelar som arbetsgivare. Målsättningen är att attrahera och behålla rätt kompetens samt att internt förena företaget i en vision kring varumärket, ett Employer Brand. Det nya med begreppet Employer Branding är inte dess beståndsdelar utan hur strategin frammanar en ny kombination av teorier, tankesätt och arbetssätt för att skapa ett helhetsperspektiv och intern konsensus gällande varumärket, och att skapa en trovärdig arbetsgivarimage gentemot arbetsmarknaden. Strategin syftar därmed till att skapa ett långsiktigt relationsbyggande med arbetsmarknaden och företaget får ett affärsmål och en vision kring hur det ska nå ut med sitt rekryteringsbudskap till arbetsmarknaden och sina anställda över konjunkturer.</p>

Brand building in the business-to-business context : The brand equity perspectiveBiedenbach, Galina January 2012 (has links)
The main purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to investigate factors affecting B2B brand building by applying the brand equity perspective in the professional services context. Three peer-reviewed and published articles and one book chapter examine different aspects related to the enhancement of brand equity and brand building in the B2B context. The first paper entitled “Brand equity in the business-to-business context: Examining the structural composition” (Biedenbach 2012) investigates the structural composition of brand equity and the interrelationships between the dimensions of brand equity in the B2B context. By specifying the multidimensional model, which can be utilized for measuring and managing B2B brand equity, the paper provides initial knowledge on how the companies can build a strong B2B brand across four dimensions of brand equity. The second paper entitled “B2B brand equity: Investigating the impact of contextual factors” (Biedenbach 2010) examines the impact of contextual factors in the organizational decision making process on the formation of B2B brand equity. The book chapter expands knowledge on B2B brand building by portraying how such characteristics of customers as relative size of their company and its industry sector can affect B2B brand building. The third paper entitled “The impact of customer experience on brand equity in a business-to-business services setting” (Biedenbach and Marell 2010) investigates the impact of customer experience on brand equity in the professional services setting. The study clarifies how customer experience can be utilized for building a strong B2B brand. The fourth paper entitled “Brand equity in the professional service context: Analyzing the impact of employee role behavior and customer-employee rapport” (Biedenbach, Bengtsson, and Wincent 2011) examines whether factors related to customers’ perception of employees’ role behavior in terms of customer perceived role ambiguity, role overload, and customer-employee rapport influence the development of brand equity in the professional service context. The paper advances knowledge on B2B brand building by considering the potential role of the company employees and consequences that their behavior can lead to in this process. To conclude, the doctoral dissertation demonstrates that the brand equity perspective can serve as a valuable foundation for theoretically understanding and practically managing B2B brand building.
