2.B PRODUCT BRANDING, PACKAGING AND LABELLING DECİSIONs
2.8.1 Branding
Branding has its existence from ancient era. According to Nilson (2000), the first example
of branding is found in the oil lamps' manufacture on the Greek islands thousands of years
back. Brand elements are name, sign, term, symbol, design or distinguishing characteristics.
Brand is not only a graphical design or a logo; it is the unique identity of the product.
By American Marketing Association, Brand can be defined as name, term, sign, symbol
or design, or a combination of them intended to identijy the goods and services of one seller or
group of sellers and to diferentiate them from those of other sellersa54
Branding is a process, where a company generates loyalty among consumers in the
market. Brands are designed with a motive to communicate customers the reason for the
existence of their product. Brand should have a strong connection with customers;

The goal of marketing is to satisfy customer needs and wants in a profitable way for the organization. Effective marketing requires understanding customers, developing the right marketing mix, conducting market research and analysis, and adjusting strategies based on customer feedback. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of understanding customer behavior and needs to most effectively market and sell products and services.
Market segmentation involves dividing the overall market into subgroups based on characteristics like demographics, behaviors, or locations. There are four main types of market segmentation: demographic (using factors like age, income, gender), geographic (based on location), psychographic (based on lifestyle and attitudes), and behavioral (based on how customers interact with a product). Segmentation allows companies to better understand customer needs and target specific subgroups, which can increase marketing effectiveness and competitive advantage. However, targeting too many segments also increases costs.

Marketing strategy is different from marketing tactics. You have to know where you want to go and you have to know what it looks like when you get there. Market research and analysis plays a vital roll in marketing strategy.

Market segmentation is a strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers with common needs. It is used to identify target customers and support marketing strategies. Businesses develop differentiated or undifferentiated product strategies for specific market segments depending on demand. An ideal market segment is measurable, profitable, stable, can be reached through promotion/distribution channels, is internally homogeneous but externally heterogeneous, and responds consistently to stimuli in a cost-effective way to inform marketing mix decisions. The document then discusses segmentation strategies for Symphony mobile phones in Bangladesh, including geographical, demographic, and psychographic segmentation to target different regions, age/income groups, and lifestyles.
Global marketing involves adjusting marketing strategies to adapt to different countries and reconcile global differences and opportunities to meet worldwide objectives. It includes planning, positioning, and promoting products internationally. International marketing extends products or services into other countries through exporting or foreign investment, then developing appropriate marketing mixes. Global marketing requires understanding local and global customer needs to maintain an optimal balance of cost, customization, and control across markets.

The first step in figuring out which marketing initiatives are the most effective and efficient is to develop a digital marketing strategy. If you don't have a plan in place, your digital marketing may fall short and ultimately fail to produce the desired results.
Your company has a distinct personality that sets it apart from competitors in the same industry. This distinction is reflected in your brand's voice. It's the first thing customers notice, and it's undeniably one of the most important aspects of branding to nail.
Today, we'll go over the five steps to developing a strong brand voice.
1. Review purpose, vision, and mission
2. Content Audit
3. Ask and Access your audience
4. Develop A Brand Voice Do's and Don'ts Chart
5. Be consistent across all communication platforms
Digital Marketing ROI is a measure that shows whether your marketing efforts are generating a profit relative to the resources you've invested. ROI analysis will show whether or not your marketing initiatives to win over new customers are successful. Specifically, whether or not the investment was effective.
Brand validation is aided by social media marketing. It's a critical tool for businesses to reach urban and rural customers. When done effectively, it shows that the brand is active and focused on communicating with its customers. As a result, businesses must develop social media marketing strategies.
Social media and mobile technology have positively impacted rural lives in several ways:
1) Gramvaani, a community radio platform in Jharkhand, India connects over 20,000 users and handles over 200 calls daily, giving farmers a voice.
2) A farmer in Sangli, India used Facebook to connect 25,000 local turmeric growers across India to solve an oversupply problem threatening their livelihoods.
3) Snapdeal adopted an Indian village and renamed it Snapdeal.com Nagar after solving their water problem by installing handpumps, saving villagers long walks to fetch water.
Small businesses are recognizing the need to transition to digital marketing as customer demands have changed. There are 4 key steps: 1) Choose the right social media platforms based on your target audience; 2) Determine if you need an external digital marketing agency or freelancer to manage accounts; 3) When hiring an agency, make sure they understand your business goals; 4) Collect and analyze data to evaluate digital growth and customer needs. The transition requires patience as you focus on both existing operations and new digital strategies.
The document discusses 7 mobile apps that target rural India:
1) mDemand helps villagers register and track requests for toilet construction.
2) GoCoop is an online marketplace for cooperative enterprises that supports weavers and artists in rural areas.
3) Kisan Suvidha provides farmers with weather forecasts, market prices, and agricultural advisories.
4) Cattle Doctor provides cattle and buffalo care information to farmers.
5) Moofarm uses facial recognition to identify individual cows and buffaloes.
6) MeriSadak allows citizens to register complaints about road work quality and pace.
7) Kisan Raja allows farmers to control water pumps remotely via a mobile SIM
This document outlines 7 unique ways to reach rural customers through digital marketing. It recommends figuring out customers' interests and creating buyer personas. It stresses the importance of educating customers about problems and solutions rather than directly selling to them to build trust. Communicating and connecting with locals to understand their needs is also key. Visual and video content should be used since rural people prefer watching videos. Messaging should educate rather than promote. Mobile is an important channel, using platforms like Facebook, YouTube, SMS and WhatsApp in the local language. Strategies must be customized for each rural area rather than using standard urban approaches.
There are many guidelines out there that clear the path for a rural marketing agency, often putting up warning signs wherever required and even giving valuable suggestions to build a ladder to success.
This means that some important points should be drilled in and memorized to ensure the strategy to be better and easier to implement. Given below are few such pointers.
We as marketers have seen rural marketing happening in traditional ways be it through wall paintings, hoardings, van campaigns, house to house reach out programs, haat, mela or mandi campaigns etc. Most of the marketers have been successful in this approach and garnered excellent results over the period of time. FMCG, telecom and automobile categories have been pioneer in having huge brand visibility in every nook and corner of the town and villages.
In 2021, it is predicted that there will be around 448 million social network users across India, a momentous boost from 2019, where it figured to around 351 million. In terms of high user base and popularity, here we present the best social media networks across India.
Earlier social media platforms were used for the sole purpose of social interaction and e-tail platform to cater to our shopping needs. However today due to the fast-growing pace of technological revolution the same app is being used for both interactions and shopping.
With the digital age in its full bloom, the world has become smaller than it ever was. There are multiple innovative ways of communication like videos & messages that are faster, cheaper and much more intimate. A message can be spread across to a billion plus people in the blink of an eye and you can get a feedback to this message even quicker. Hence the age we live in is more exciting and interactive than we could have thought of, truly a digital revolution.
The document discusses 5 economic policies and their impact on rural populations in India:
1) MGNREGA guarantees at least 100 days of wage employment per year for rural households volunteering for unskilled manual work.
2) Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana offers collateral-free loans up to 10 lakh rupees to small/micro non-corporate enterprises.
3) The Public Distribution System enables distribution of subsidized food and non-food items to India's poor through over 400,000 fair price shops managed by FCI.
4) Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana aims to provide LPG connections to 5 crore below poverty
Companies are using technology to boost their rural marketing efforts in three key ways:
1) Promoting digital literacy by educating rural audiences about technologies like smartphones, the internet, and social media through initiatives run by brands like HUL and Idea Cellular.
2) Leveraging technologies like radio, mobile phones, and e-commerce to engage rural audiences and generate sales leads, as seen with the solar lamp brand's multichannel campaign.
3) Partnering rural artisans with online marketplaces to sell traditional crafts in urban areas and expand their potential customer base, showing how e-commerce can open huge new rural markets.
Change is the only constant, and you must have heard this proverb probably 100 times. What difference are we talking about here? The entire focus is on the trends of Digital Marketing – the plans, strategies, and tactics. Whether you have realized or not, the primary festive season in India has just ended, and this season was a significant comeback for most online retailers and e-commerce giants.
India is predominantly a Rural Economy since, the rural population stands at 833 million, constituting almost 68% of the total population. Showing a growth of around 12% and increment in the number of villages by 2279 units, the rural areas in India are on a way to progress. Having access to electricity, roads, shelter, etc, the rural population is moving towards modern lifestyle.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

2. Rural Market segmentation
Rural market segmentation is the process of
identifying different segments within your
rural target audience based on geographic
location, demographics, socioeconomics,
psychographics, product-oriented customer
approach, and behavioural segmentation in
order to provide more tailored and
meaningful messaging to them.
3. Product Strategy
Understanding the product's value,
packaging, branding, logos, and symbols
are all part of product strategy. Creating a
product strategy for the rural market
differs from designing a product strategy
for the urban market in many ways.
4. Pricing strategy
Pricing strategy is essential for product
positioning. This entails a thorough
understanding of the factors that
influence pricing, such as customers,
competitors, suppliers, and so on, to
create pricing.
5. Communication Strategy
For an effective communication strategy,
thorough market research is essential,
which involves researching rural clients'
wants, demands, anxieties, goals, and hopes
in comparison to the product you intend to
offer them. Following the gathering of all
data, a strategy should be devised that
considers the various rural segments.
6. Promotional Strategy
Personal selling, word of mouth, door-to-door
promotion, free display materials, draw
contests, free sample distribution, fairs, haats,
melas, interactive games, nukkad nataks, wall
paintings, hoardings, puppetry, folk media,
and other promotional strategies must all be
incorporated into rural marketing strategies.
7. Distribution Strategy
The success of rural marketing is determined
on distribution and pricing. Businesses that
build a large number of distribution centres
to serve a small geographic area can succeed.
In India, marketers and rural marketing
agencies must design and adapt distribution
plans on a regular basis to account for the
nature and characteristics of rural markets.
