Why

Branding is the way forward to global success

Branding has become such a powerful buzzword these days that there is so much confusion in the marketplace as to what it really means. Often branding is mistaken for advertising. And the brand is certainly not just the product. It is far more than that.

The brand is the company. The brand is the corporate culture. The brand is the vision for the future and the company’s commitment to the present. It is about perceived value that the consumer attaches to the product. The product is simply the testimonial of what a company promises its consumer.

Because branding is about perceived value of a company, success comes to those who invest in it knowing that is takes time to fully establish a good reputation in the market as a producer of quality products.

A well-structured company most undoubtedly will produce good quality products or provide good quality servise. All successful brands stand testimony to this statement.

Going global

More than just wrapping

Brandpackaging is more than just wrapping up a product

It is how a company structured, its facilities designed, its corporate identify formulated, its human resources trained and its promotional materials crafted.

It requires strategy and a clear idea of what the company wants to achieve that is captured and visually communicated in a number of ways to touch the hearts and minds of the targeted audiences. Even if a company had begun with just the intention of making a profit from the sales of its products it will have to consider what its brand is all about in order to make that connection with the consumer. Otherwise the product will easily lose out to its competitors and these days there are many brands that just about sell the same thing to the consumer.

Branding begins with the creation of a brand vision

Its success is dependent on the quality of its product. No amount of fancy words or captivating design in going to convince consumers if they are not satisfied with the product itself.

Great design and attractive packaging may persuade the consumer to purchase the product but once the cover comes off the product is on its own. It must deliver what it promises on the wrapping. These days people are less loyal to a brand and are always willing to experiment to find out if they can get a better product through another brand. So a brand vision must include constant research to innovate and make the product perform better.


Every Packaging is a 5-second commercial

Five seconds is all the time it takes for a consumer to glance across a supermarket shelf. An arresting design will entice the buyer to reach out and take the product out to read what is on the packaging. A compelling sell will persuade the buyer to make the decision to buy it.

Packaging that delights and captivates the consumer has a better chance of selling the product.

There are purchasers who will buy a product because they love the design of the packaging. But that doesn’t mean we should stuff a lesser quality product into a high quality packaging. If we do that there will not be a second purchase!
