Today, in this competitive world where everyone is behind money; we can see every business sector has several firms which manufacture same type of products. A simple example for the same is our daily used product; Toothpaste.
When you think about toothpaste, the first name that will be reflected in your mind is Colgate. Yes, there are several other companies too that manufacture toothpaste but we prefer “Colgate” why? Because we are aware about it, we know its name. Similarly, in terms of mobile; we will quickly say “Apple” “Samsung”.
Remember; Toothpaste is a product and Colgate is a BRAND on the other hand Cell Phone is a Product while Apple and Samsung are BRANDS. To understand branding perfectly, it is necessary to know the difference between a product and the brand.
Now, why most of the people get confused with product and brand and why they have only one brand name in their mind for a particular product. The reason is “Strong branding done by the companies”.
So, we can say here that the main aim of Branding is to create awareness about brand name in such a way that it becomes the synonym for the product. This means when people think about the product, your brand name is the only one that reflects in their minds.
What an amazing feeling it is when your brand name is the first when people think about particular product.
