7. A global trend towards retro brands
• Vintage revival instils a sense of nostalgic well-
being in consumers.
• Nostalgia is an effective marketing tool in an
excessively digitized society.
• Companies that utilize retro branding can establish
brand recognition much more easily by appearing
experienced and good-natured.
Retro branding
• There are two kinds of retro product.The first is a
genuine re-issue or replica of an original product
from the past.
• The other is a modern product that adopts retro
styling or a retro brand to make it look and feel
different from similar products.
• Retro brands revived include Polaroid, Kodak,VW
Beetle, BMW Mini, StarWars, Ben Sherman shirts
and Harley Davidson as examples.
