The PPT gives practical examples of a few products which re positioned by their companies and how they got back to conquer the market. Focuses on the core concept of PRODUCT RE-POSITIONING in the marketing domain.
Repositioning is defined as changing a brand's status compared to competitors according to market demands and customer needs. It occurs in response to changing customer needs, growing competition, stagnant product benefits, and new technologies. The process of repositioning involves 4 phases: 1) determining the current brand status, 2) understanding how consumers perceive the brand today, 3) developing new brand positioning platforms using marketing research, and 4) refining and communicating the new positioning across departments to align efforts. Dettol, an antiseptic liquid, expanded its uses to increase sales, such as for shaving, washing babies' clothes, and illness care.
Brands are an integral part of our lives that go beyond just distinguishing products. They give products meaning and benefits to consumers like identification, practicality through repurchasing, quality guarantees, and ensuring the best option for their needs. Managing brands over time requires considering how many are needed, keeping them up to date, extending them geographically in a coherent way, and measuring their value as important assets.
In this presentation, we will introduce you to the concept of Brand Planning. This presentation will help you to know and learn the factors and strategies involved in building a brand and help it to succeed. We will also discuss FMCG, service marketing, brand share and brand lifecycle.

A BRAND IS FOREVER! A FRAMEWORK FOR REVITALIZING DECLINING AND DEAD BRANDS
2. REVIVAL OF A DEAD BRAND The revitalization of a brand is usually less costly and risky than introducing a new brand, which can cost tens of millions and will more likely fail than succeed -Aaker(1991)
3. REVIVAL OF A DEAD BRAND  neither the lifespan of a brand nor its ultimate destiny is predetermined  But, brand decline is a reversible process  Ex: Harley Davidson and ford after facing great competition lost their hold still regained their status because of their brand value.

5.

6. DECLINE AND DEATH OF BRANDS Pan am and Oldsmobile (general electrical) examples illustrate that even well-known brands can decline as a result of a wide variety of factors.
7. CAUSES OF BRAND DECLINE Product life cycle (PLC) framework: identifies four stages: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. It uses sales to define the stages of the life cycle, which in turn are used to predict sales. Different forces leads to brand’s evolution • Managerial actions • Environmental factors • Competitive actions
8. CAUSES OF BRAND DECLINE MANAGERIAL ACTIONS Brands often decline because of leadership, management, and employees making excuses rather than acting with integrity Managerial actions which can cause this are: product quality, price increases, price cuts, brand neglect, and inability to stay with the target market.
9. CAUSES OF BRAND DECLINE MANAGERIAL ACTIONS Product quality: When compromises in product quality for cost-cutting reasons • do not impact brand loyalty in the short run, • managers mistakenly conclude that consumers are willing to accept or live with the change. • At some point when customers’ experiences with the brand do not live up to their expectations, • the brand starts to decline.
10. CAUSES OF BRAND DECLINE MANAGERIAL ACTIONS Price increases : If a company continues to raise prices without offering a corresponding increase in benefits, sooner or later consumers will start to abandon the brand. Volkswagen launched golf but was unable to control costs and had to keep raising prices, until it effectively drove itself out of the entry-level segment where it had once been a leader

McDonald's earns revenue through restaurant operations and franchising. It focuses on families and uses Ronald McDonald and other branding elements to build strong brand recognition globally.

The past several years JC Penney has made drastic shifts to their pricing strategy and store operations, including several leadership changes. Bringing back CEO Mike Ullman, after an 18-month stint of former Apple retail guru Ron Johnson, has helped to stabilize this classic American brand. Since then, JC Penney has posted two quarters of growth for the first time in several years.
This strategy was presented at my NYU’s Business Leadership class, where we were tasked with analyzing the company’s current leadership and provides our recommendations for a new sustainable strategic approach.
After years of isolating their customers and employees, resulting in industry irrelevance and financial decline, this strategy would bring this American staple brand back to retail prominence. This proposal is meant to take place shortly after Ron Johnson’s departure, prior to the recent growth JC Penney has seen in Q4 ’13.
