To Brand or Not to Brand

I’ve been telling my clients for years to brand their products and ingredients. And some have done that and achieved great success. I recently read consumers are showing a willingness to pay a little more to get name brand products. Kellogg’s, Colgate and Gillette products have all benefited. Obviously that’s good news for the companies who make those products. During this economic downturn, a large percentage of shoppers appear to have switched to store brands. Pardon me, did I say store “brands?” So should you brand your product? Absolutely! Just make sure you create a meaningful, easy to pronounce, non-conflicting name. Then create a tagline and logo. Need some advice? Send me an e-mail (Sheldon@bakerdillon.com).
