4) Research Work as per Objectives.
Important aspects of Branding:
1) Definition of Branding:
Branding is an important strategy for differentiating a product from its competitors. It is a
name, logo, trade mark, patent no or package design i.e. used to distinguish the firm’s
product or services from others.
2) Definition of Brand:
A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol or deign, or a combination of them, intended to
identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them
from those of competitors.
Aspects related to Branding Decision:
The first decision is whether the company should develop a brand name for its product.
In the past, most products went unbranded. Producers and middle men sold their goods
out of barrels, bins and cases, without any supplier’s integrity. The earliest signs of
branding were in the efforts of medivial guilds to require craftspeople to put trademarks
on their products to protect themselves and consumers against inferior quality. In fine
arts, too, branding began with artists signing their works.
But today, branding is such a strong force that hardly anything goes unbranded. Salt is
packaged in Distinctive manufacturers containers, oranges are stamped with growers
names and further all sectors like automobile or may be service is today well known
according to its brand name.
/
14. 14
Why branding the products? / Advantages of branding.
1) Brand name makes it easier for the seller to process orders and track down
problems. i.e. it makes easy to record orders from the variety of product range available
with him, of particular type the consumer demands.
2) The seller’s brand name and trademark provide legal protection of unique product
features, which would otherwise be copied by competitors.
3) Branding gives the seller the opportunity to attract a loyal and profitable set of
customers. Brand loyalty gives sellers some protection from competition and greater
control in planning their marketing program.
4) Branding helps the seller segment markets.
5) Good brands help built the corporate image. By carrying the company’s name,
they help advertise the quality and size of the company.
DEFINATION OF MARKET RESEARCH:
The purpose of Market Research is to obtain information which helps in identification of
a marketing opportunity or problem, to determine the issues dimension and magnitude to
enumerate and evaluate the alternative solutions select the right Course of action and the
follow through the systematic gathering, recording and analyzing of data about problems
relating to the marketing of goods and services is the significance of market research.
The essential purpose of market research is to provide information which will facilitate
the identification of opportunity or problem situation and to assist managers in arriving at
the best possible decisions when such situations and encountered
15. 15
Other aspects of Branding.
Brand equity
“Brand equity” refers to the value of a brand. Brand equity is based on the extent to which
the brand has high brand loyalty, name awareness, perceived quality and strong product
associations. Brand equity also includes other “intangible” assets such as patents,
trademarks and channel relationships.
Brand equity
The value of a brand. From a consumer perspective, brand equity is based on consumer
attitudes about positive brand attributes and favorable consequences of brand use.

These are important to develop well since a negative brand image can be very difficult to
shake off.

18. 18
c) Clarification for the 10 Punch Lines for Deore consultancy services
Pvt.Ltd.
The clarification for these punch lines has been given here under, so as to clarify how
these meets with the company mission and vision statements.
How these moves hand in hand to the company objectives and weather been imitated or
really genuinely designed by me.
Hence for this purpose as well as for showing how and why only these words and phrases
have been used in a particular Punch line, detailed clarification have been given by me as
under.
19. 19
1) Deore- Sophisticated Web-Business Solutions.
This punch line have been selected as it covers both the services provided by Deore i.e.
Web designing as well as Software solutions for different companies.
In observation of different punch lines of various companies, most of the companies are
either having their title of business solution or Web designing, so this theme was an
attempt to have a fusion of both the major services provided by the firm.
Additionally the word sophisticated is given as prefix which builds a strong image and
conveys our message in more precise manner, also this suits the company’s mission
statement of “To enhance efficiency and effectiveness of our customers business by
providing them with most excellent and innovative information Technology solutions”.
2) Deore- Innovation with sophistication for your business solutions.
This Punch line once again conveys the company’s Mission statement by word
sophistication which have been referred earlier, innovation definitely suits in the punch
line as without innovation no one can built smart and different web sites as well as no one
would be able to build different Softwares which suits the companies requirement for
simplifying their work.
3) Deore- Sophisticated Innovation for your business solution.
This punch line is very similar to the previous one, but having different sentence
formation than the above one.
As it depends on person to person how they take a particular sentence and which sentence
suits more, hence this punch line conveys same message but is quoted in different way, to
let you to have the best alternative with best formation of words.
20. 20
4) Deore- Building Smarter business.
This is very short punch Line but conveys lots of Messages.
Basically Web-Designing helps the companies in portraying themselves in front of the
world for their various services provided; hence Smart Web-designing would help them
to do their job precisely as well as improves their image in front of their customers and
people they want to access with.
Software designing i.e. Software Packages helps the companies to reduce their work by
simplification process and procedures, by which companies can save lots of time involved
for unnecessary or lengthy operations.
Now a days saving time is saving money, hence the time saved by these packages
provided by us, helps these companies to earn more profit.
Hence it conveys that smart work is required rather that hard work.
5) Deore- Developing Ideas for your Business.
This punch line refers the second half of previous given clarification, i.e. for Software
Designing. This conveys that we develop the best ideas for your business, which ease
your routine time consuming processes and procedures and help the companies to get the
best out of our ideas in form of software packages.
6) Deore- Designing your website as smart as your business.
This punch line is solely referred to Web-Designing, but is very effective.
The punch line also makes feel the customers that we will design their web-site equally
smart as their business, which I think generates a feeling of getting praised by us.
21. 21
And all of us know very well, how effective tool Praising is in real life as well as in
business to generate customers and grow our business.
7) Deore- Building websites with style.
This punch line once again refers only to web-designing, but again quoted in different
way.
Here the sentence is formed in such a way that we design the web-sites with style and
now a days what matters is STYLE, hence we can get noticed even with this small but
effective sentence.
8) Deore- Designing Smarter Web-Business Solutions.
This Punch line is also conveying the same message as in the punch line, hence would not
require much clarification, as quoted in different way.
9) Deore- IT solutions for Smart Businesses.
This Punch line refers to the IT solutions part. Frankly speaking this is much repeated and
indifferent word used by most of the companies in their punch line, the difference would
be “For smart businesses”.
The clarification of smart Business is already stated above for 4th
Punch line.
22. 22
10) Deore- Ultimate IT solutions for your success.
This is one more very different and one of my favorite punch Line.
This punch line have taken the maximum time for formation, as I was thinking to put the
word IT solutions in an effective form, which would also motivate the companies to go
with Deore and simultaneously match with the companies vision and mission statement.
Hence this punch conveys that our IT solutions are the ultimate ones and let its user’s
success.

projects. It not only automates the estimation process but also helps in generating various
reports which are proving to be most important documents while taking critical decisions.
Estimation is one of the most important but equally tedious and time consuming process.
As estimation is carried out in the initial phase of life cycle of the project, its importance
is highlighted with the fact that maximum cost reduction can be carried out with effective

materials, machines and labour. Different reports can be generated using this software,
which empowers the management to take effective decisions.
These reports also give the break-up of cost of different types of materials being used in
construction. Deore estimate helps the management in resource allocation, budgeting and
hence the cost cutting and effective financial control over the project.
