&randing strateg/:

The -randin stratey for a firm reflects the num-er and nature of common and

distinctive -rand elements a&&lied to the different &roduct sold -y the firm. Brandin stratey

involves decidin the nature of ne* and e/istin -rand elements to -e a&&lied to ne* and

e/istin &roducts.

&randing 7ecisions:  Brandin stratey is one of the most vital decisions tain -y

mareters. "t is a stratey, *hich -rins lots of &ositive feed-ac for a firm. The first

 -randin decision is *hether to develo& a -rand name for a &roduct. Today, -randin is

such a force that hardly anythin oes un-randed.

Unilever follo* individual name for settin -rand name for their different &roducts, such

as Sunsil, (ove Sham&ooK, Ponds, 5air + lovely, (ove for sin care. Unilever et a

ma6or advantae of an individual name strateies that the com&any does not tie its

re&utation to the &roducts. So, if any -rand fails or a&&ears to have lo* #uality, the

com&anies name or imae is not hurt.

&rand ,lements: Brand elements can &lay a num-er of -rand -uildin roles. Band

elements are those trademara-le devices that identify and differentiate the -rand. Most

stron -rands em&loy multi&le -rand elements. Mareters choose -rand elements to

 -uild as much -rand e#uity as &ossi-le. Brand elements such as1 memora-le,

meaninful, lia-le, ada&ta-le and &rotect a-le. 0e descri-e those elements in short as

Memorable: every consumers mind catches the -rand name. Their maretin

 &rorams set the -rand name in consumers mind. Their short -rand name such

ecommendation

". The Sunsil is a lo-al com&any and each country has o*n culture, so Sunsil should

drive accordin to local &references and needs -ecause it is really necessary in today

economic crisis to ca&ture hue maret share. Sunsil can arise and ensure social

res&onsi-ility in the society, so they *ould esta-lish themselves in customer mind and

customer *ould -e loyal a-out Sunsil. To ensure social res&onsi-ility and

hihlihtin -enefits they &rovide Sunsil can raise their revenue. Sunsil must focus

on social res&onsi-ility, to maintain imae amon customers, mainly advertisement

covers hue e/&enses of Sunsil, -ut *e recommend them to cut their advertisement

e/&enditures, in the economic crisis and should more focus on social res&onsi-ility.

To ensure social res&onsi-ility and hihlihtin -enefits they &rovide Sunsil can

raise their revenue.

5iure1 Sales revenue and social res&onsi-ility

/. Peo&le are familiar *ith Sunsil, ho*ever they are not interested in *hether it is a unilever

 &roduct or not. Throuh e/tensive maretin methods unilever should mae &eo&le a*are of

the fact that it is a Unilever Product and not 6ust any &roduct so that the -rand loyalty

increases and &eo&le &urchase its &roduct due to its -rand name and not 6ust the &roduct

name.

onclusion

Sunsil has hue &otential of rural maret 72 of total &o&ulation -ut not yet develo& a

successful stratey to &enetrate this maret. The success of Sunsil emulated *hich ca&tured

the rural maret -y t*o strateies; (evelo& stron distri-ution structure and Ado&tin

 &acain and &ricin. Sunsil increase -uyin of ra* material so that it does not have to

suffer devolution and continuously increase in tariff rates. They introduced a smaller !mi &ac of Sunsil in order to ca&ture lo*er income sement. Sunsil enter into *e- maretin.

They should increase fre#uencies of advertisin -y electronic and &rint media. They should

introduce 2 in ! sham&oo &lus conditioner *hich demand hue &otential maret.
