Branding

According to AMA, "A brand is a customer experience represented by a collection of images and ideas; often it refers to a symbol such as a name, logo, slogan, and design scheme. Brand recognition and other reactions are created by accumulation of experiences with the specific product or service, both directly relating to its use, and through the influence of advertising, design, and media commentary."

Vaseline whose parent company is HUL in India, quite a big and powerful. Its Vaseline petroleum jelly was the first to be launched in India

Brand Equity: It is the added value endowed on products and services. It may be reflected in the way consumers think, feel and act with respect to the brand, as well as in the prices, marker share and profitability the brand commands for the firm.

Brand Promise: It is the marketer’s vision of what brand must be and do for its consumers. What benefit it going to give to the customer so that they feel like associated with the brand. At the end of the day, the true value and future prospects of a brand rest with consumers, their knowledge about the brand and their likely response to marketing activity as a result of this knowledge.
