MARRIOTT
Branding Brief- Expanding the Marriott brand
Submitted by: Ms. Shalini Jain, IIM Lucknow
Under guidance of Prof. SAMEER MATHUR
WHAT IS BRAND PORTFOLIO??
Brand Portfolio includes all the brands offered by the
firm in a product category. A good brand portfolio
maximizes brand equity & any one brand doesn’t
harm the equity of other
WHY MULTIPLE BRANDS IN SAME PRODUCT CATEGORY??
• Market coverage
• To serve as cash cows
• To serve as flanker brand
• To increase retailer’s dependence & earn more shelf space
• Economies of scale in advertising, sales etc.
• To add prestige & credibility by launching premium brands
• To attract new customers; low-end-entry level product
