For Example: Soap is a product and Lux is a brand. Brand Promotion:
Brand Promotion is all about creating differences. It involves creating mental structures and helping consumers organize their knowledge about products and services in a way that clarifies their decision making and, in the process, provides value to the firm. Goods, Services, Places, Events, and organisations, persons or even ideas can be branded. To establish the positive brand image is essential and beneficial for any company. It helps in promoting the business of the company. An entrepreneur can generate maximum profits for the organization. It also enables the entrepreneur to retain the customers for longer time (Customer Loyalty). This is feasible by creating an everlasting and positive impression on the mind of the customers. A marketer cannot prevent people from thinking anything about his company. However, he can certainly motivate them from thinking positive about the company. Therefore, the brand building and promotion are vital for an organization.
