Most computer chips each comprise more than 7 million transistors. Twelve years ago computer chips, in the eyes of consumers, were a generally unknown component of PCs - a commodity product. From a competitive standpoint, a computer chip is a typical commodity. Take one out, put another in, no performance difference. Chips are something most customers don't see, many don't understand, and large numbers don't care about. But Intel has built a brand around a commodity. The company was founded in 1968 and went public in 1971. By 1997, it controlled 90% of the world's market for personal PC microprocessors. Although the market is more competitive today, Intel is still the largest chip manufacturer in the world. 2.

Due to evolving new technology and intensifying competition, sustaining technological lead was of utmost priority in 1990 for Intel.

There were simultaneous development of products of 2 generations going on. The other competitors could not catch up with Intel’s speed of development of new products. In 1997, Intel encountered loss of market in < $1000 PC market. This segment was fast growing. AMD was a major player and gained market share in this segment. Intel did not want to lower their price because this would affect their brand equity as well as reduce their bottom lines.

This kind of product differentiation allowed them to gain leadership in that market without diluting their brand image. They also lowered price of their older product to compete directly with AMD. Their product 286 was a big success in the market. But 386 processor sales did not pick up even 3 years after launch. This was...

...Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands Some analysts see brands as the enduring asset of a company, outlasting the company’s products and facilities. Brands are powerful assets that must be carefully developed and managed. Here are some key strategies for building and managing brands. Brand Equity: Brand equity is the differential effect that knowing the brand name has on customer response to the product and its marketing. It’s a measure of the brand’s ability to capture consumer preference and loyalty. A brand has positive brand equity when consumers react more favorably to it than to a generic or unbranded version of the same product. It has negative brand equity if consumers react less favorably than to an unbranded version. High brand equity provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because the brand name carries high credibility, the company can more easily launch line and brand extensions. A powerful brand offers the company some defense against fierce price competition. Building Strong Brands: Branding poses challenging decisions to the marketer. The major brand strategy decisions involve brand positioning, brand name selection, brand sponsorship, and brand development. • Brand Positioning: Marketers need to position their brands clearly in target customers’ minds. Positioning refers to the act of designing the company’s offering and image in such...

...[pic] introduction Since its inception, SoBe has branded products that are considered an alternative to conventional market offerings. Originally a beverage company that introduced a line of performance enhanced teas which included special additives such as ginseng and panax, the brand’s edgy persona has been extended to fruity energy drinks, sports drinks, chewing gum, soda, and, most recently, chocolate. Extending the SoBe brand image to performance enhanced chocolate has proven challenging. The SoBe Chocolate group (operating in conjunction with HVC Lizard Chocolate) has tried, with some success, to create a new confections category centered on the concept of functional indulgence. Yet, the product line suffers an identity crisis with consumers who are not used to the inclusion of performance enhancers in chocolate. Initial packaging and marketing efforts have not adequately educated the market and consumers are not associating the SoBe brand identity with a chocolate bar, or SoBe Chocolate to the confections category. Situation The Life and Times of SoBe SoBe came to life in 1996 as the South Beach (SoBe) Beverage Company. Founded by two Pepsi alums, Mike Schott and John Bello, the company introduced a beverage line that “defied convention”. The attitude at SoBe is characterized by the following from John Bello: “Mike and I came from Pepsi, where things get massaged into mediocrity. I don't think Coke or Pepsi would ever put out a bottle...
