“The sum of all the images and associations customers have concerning a company”.

“Great brands are born from people who are having fun. Their excitement is reflected in the meaning of the brand”.

“A brand is a long-term profitable bond between an offering & a customer. This relationship is based on economic, emotional and/or experiential value, backed by everyday operational excellence & consistently measured for accountability, usually by customer profitability.”

Page 33: Essentials Of Branding

METRICS-DRIVEN BRANDS

BRANDING: Profitability imperatives All customers are not created equal Customers define brands based on their experience,

emotion & functionality Companies can no longer “position” brands

Brands are only tools to build customer equity Magnet to attract new customers Anchor to hold existing customers

Goal is profitability, not sales or market share Measurement is critical

Establishes accountability

Page 34: Essentials Of Branding

RETENTION BRANDING

Retention pays! Satisfied customers tell 3-5 others about a pleasant

experience It can cost up to 10 times more to generate revenue

from a new customer than from an existing one A 5% retention rate increase can increase profits by 60-

100% Loyal customers who refer others generate business at

a very low or no cost

Page 35: Essentials Of Branding

RETENTION BRANDINGUnhappiness costs! Dissatisfied customers tell 7-13 others Unhappy customers complain for up to 23 years! Negative word-of-mouth: 2X as much impact on

purchase intentions as positive word-of-mouth Make-goods/expediting are expensive Find “replacement” customers

Page 36: Essentials Of Branding

RETENTION BRANDING

80/20 rule 20% of your customers account for 80% of your profits Knowing this is not as important as knowing WHICH

20% (as well as the bottom 15%) Conventional accounting only tells us profit from 100%

of the customers

Branding imperatives Identify & increase profitability of customers Make intelligent customer acquisition/retention
