WHAT IS A BRAND ?
"BRANDR", Norwegian word meaning "to burn"
led to the origin of the word "Brand". In olden
days, the farmers used to put some kind of an
identification mark (using burning hot iron) on
the body of the livestock to distinguish their
possession from that of others.
Similarly, marketers started resorting to
branding in order to distinguish their offerings
from that of their competitors. Thus, a brand is
"a name, term, sign, symbol, or design or a
combination of them which is intended to
identify the goods or services of one seller or
group of sellers and to differentiate them from
those of the competitors."

difficult to compete with it.
