S The American Marketing Association defines a BRAND as a "Name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers." A brand can take many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, colour combination or slogan. For example, Coca Cola is the name of a brand make by a particular company. The word branding began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp. The word brand has continued to evolve to encompass identity—it affects the personality of a product, company or service. It is defined by a perception, good or bad, that your customers or prospects have about you.

S ADVERTISING is a form of communication used to encourage or persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to continue or take some new action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various traditional media; including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television commercial, radio advertisement, outdoor advertising or direct mail; or new media such as websites and text messages. Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "Branding," which involves the repetition of an image or product name in an effort to associate certain qualities with the brand in the minds of consumers.

HOW IT WORKS

SO TO MAKE AN EXISTING ADVERTISEMENT BETTER ENHANCE

THE BRAND

AND THE LOGO

DO YOU KNOW?

In 2010, spending on advertising was estimated at more than $300 billion in the United States and $500 billion worldwide.

It is only by branding and logo design that the maximum amount of visibility is attained by any product or service. So it makes sense to rebuild the brand and the logo.

HOW DO YOU REBRAND FOR ENHANCING ADVERTISEMENT?

What are the questions that you should ask yourself when you try to revamp your brand for advertising.

It should be kept in mind to make sure that the original essence of the brand remain. Hiring a good ad team will do the job effectively.

• Is the current brand recognized with a good reputation? If so, then don't completely abandon it, instead modify it or make your new brand a variation

• What makes your product better than the competition and what are its weaknesses? Make sure the branding highlights the advantages.

• What are the customers concerns in purchasing and driving motivators to purchase? For example, let's say you sell shoes. If your shoes are very fashionable, then your brand should be about looks, like "sexy feet!". If your shoes are the most comfortable in the world, then the brand should be about that, like "snuggly feet"

HOW DO YOU REBRAND FOR ENHANCING ADVERTISEMENT?

• what words and expressions does your target market like? Some terms are generational or gender focused. Others are tied to an interest or hobby. Think about the words and phrases and how your target market perceives them.

• What markets/audiences are we missing?• How will re-branding help communicate our message?• What are our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?• How are we different from the competition?• Will re-branding or revamping alienate your existing customers?

you don't own your brand, because the brand is owned within the minds of customers and potential customers. So in order to change your brand you must change what your customers and potential customers THINK when they see or hear your company name or logo. Research should be carried out to measure shifting customer loyalties and also to value the dynamics in markets.
