CONTENT

  • Definition of Branding
  • Advantages of Branding
  • Disadvantages of Branding

 

DEFINITION OF BRANDING

This is the activity of giving a particular name and lineage to goods and services, so that people will be attracted to them and want to buy them.

 

ADVANTAGES OF BRANDING

  1. It helps in easy identification of agricultural product.
  2. It helps the buyer to easily remember what they want to buy.
  3. It adds a measure of prestige to the product.
  4. It helps in maintenance of quality.
  5. The producer may enjoy some forms of monopoly when goods are branded.
  6. It prevents product adulteration.
  7. It helps to increase sales (turn over) of farm produce.

 

DISADVANTAGES OF BRANDING

  1. It increases the cost of production.
  2. Some products are difficult to brand e.g. vegetables and fruits.
  3. It causes confusion among the consumers.
  4. Producers do find it difficult to maintain consistent quality.

 

GENERAL EVALUATION

  1. What is branding?
  2. List three advantages of branding.
  3. List three disadvantages of branding.
  4. List five materials used in packaging.
  5. List two purposes of advertisement.

 

Branding is a marketing technique used by businesses to create a desired image for a product or company in the minds of the consumer. Examples can demonstrate to small business owners how to use branding effectively for their enterprise.

Symbols

Branding often takes the form of a recognizable symbol to which consumers easily identify, such as a logo. Common examples include the Nike “swoosh,” the golden arches of McDonald’s and the apple used by Apple Computers. Logos typically appear on all products in some form and are used in advertising and promotional campaigns. The most successful symbols allow consumers to identify a product or company even if the name is not visible.

Slogans

Like symbols, slogans build a brand image. Slogans are successfully used in industries such as insurance to make consumers associate insurers with trust, such as “Nationwide is on your side,” “You’re in good hands with Allstate” and “Like a good neighbour, State Farm is there.” As with well-known logos, successful slogans become ingrained in the minds of consumers and may remain there for as long as the company stays in business.

Differentiation

Companies can use branding to differentiate themselves from the competition. For instance, a business can position itself as being an innovator, indicating that its competitors offer the same products or services it has been providing for years. In a time where environmental concerns are important to consumers, a business can also attempt to brand itself as operating more cleanly and efficiently than the competition. Another common technique is to use branding to create an image of always offering the lowest prices.

Demand: The demand of a product is the total quantity of the product desired by all traders and customers for the product.

 

DETERMINATION OF PRICE BY SUPPLY AND DEMAND

If the supply of an agricultural product is low, which means there is a shortage of the product in the market, many people will want the product and some traders and customers will be prepared to pay extra money to buy the product. In this situation, the price of the product will be high.

 

When the supply of an agricultural product is high, it means there is a large quantity of the product in the market; some producers will be willing to sell for a low price, to attract buyers. The price of the product will therefore be low.

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE PRICING OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE

Advertising is communicated through various mass media,including traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, televisionradiooutdoor advertising or direct mail and new media such as search results, blogs, social media, websites or text messages. The actual presentation of the message in a medium is referred to as an advertisement, or “ad” or advert for short.

Commercial ads often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through “branding“, which associates a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers. On the other hand, ads that intend to elicit an immediate sale are known as direct-response advertisingNon-commercial entities that advertise more than consumer products or services include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations and governmental agencies. Non-profit organizations may use free modes of persuasion, such as a public service announcement.
